*To avoid teary
eyes when you chop the onion, put a piece of the outer skin of the onion on your
forehead before you start cutting. Another option is to put a dish with water
next to you and rinse the knife every time you make a cut. Yet another solution
is to put the onion in the freezer for 20 minutes before you start cutting. *If
you cooked a meal and it is too salty,cut a potato in half and drop it in with
the food for 20 minutes. The potatoes will absorb the salt. 
*To
tell if an egg is fresh,put it in a glass of water. If the egg sinks, it is fresh.
If it floats, it's old. *
To avoid bad smells in the refrigerator, place an uncovered plate
with coffee. Another option is to place an open box of baking soda. *
If you want the bananas or avocados to ripen faster, wrap them
in newpaper. *
To unclog the sink, pour in some baking soda and vinegar, and let
sit for several hours. If it is still clogged, try it two or three more
times. *
For the guacamole not to turn black, sprinkle with lime and leave
the avocado seed in it. Cover it with foil. *
For burned pots pour enough vinegar to cover the burned area, set to boil, and
then rinse. It will look like new. |
