Stop These Common Kitchen Aggravations

Stop These Common Kitchen Aggravations

Tired of bread, cookies or cake going stale? Have an avalanche of plastic grocery bags you can't seem to contain? Then you'll enjoy these fixes for common kitchen annoyances!

Keep cling wrap unstuck by storing your roll in the refrigerator. It will still stick to whatever you put it on, but not to itself.

Squeeze fresh citrus for weeks. Place lemons in a glass jar filled with water and sealed with a lid. Seal limes in a glass jar and store in the fridge.

Make corn shucking easy. First microwave the ear (leaves and all) for 3-4 minutes. It will be hot, so wear gloves or use a potholder as you cut about an inch above the stem end. Hold onto the silk and top leaves and simply shake out the corn.

Prevent stale cookies and cake with fresh slices of bread. For cake: place a slice against each cut-side of the cake and secure it with a toothpick. For cookies: place a slice or two in the container. The bread will get stale, but the desserts will stay fresh.

Tame messy supermarket bags by stuffing them into an empty tissue box. A cube-style box will hold about 15 plastic bags, a rectangular box about 25.

Rehydrate wilted vegetables by soaking them in a bowl of ice water for about 15 minutes.

Slice soft, fresh bread perfectly with a warm knife dipped in just-boiled water. Dry the knife before you cut.

Give stale rolls that freshly baked taste when you place them in a moistened paper bag. Twist the bag closed and place it in a 300 degrees Fahrenheit oven for a few minutes until the bag is dry.

Distribute pancake batter evenly by placing batter in a clean ketchup bottle and squeezing the desired amount out of the top. This cuts down on lumps, too.

Soften hard brown sugar in a microwavable dish with a moist paper towel on top. Cover with a microwavable plate and then microwave for 20-second increments until soft. Prevent brown sugar from hardening again by adding two or three marshmallows in the container.

Extend berry life with a bath of three parts water to one part distilled white vinegar. Simply soak the berries for 30 seconds, rinse in cold water, dry them thoroughly and refrigerate.

Ripen a pineapple more evenly by twisting the leaves off and standing it upside down on a plate. When the outside turns a toasty golden brown, the pineapple is ready to enjoy.
