Although cooking is actually great fun, it can sometimes get hectic. Since then the corkscrew or the can opener is missing, although it must go fast. The subsequent cleaning of the kitchen usually costs time and nerves. But thanks to the following 12 tricks, the kitchen stays clean, or she gets it very fast again and you can manage with simple hands in times of need.
1) Prevent splashes with paper plates when mixing
To avoid that quite liquid dough is injected with a hand mixer when mixing, drill the dough hooks through a paper plate so that it lays like a lid on the bowl.
2) Uncork the wine bottle with a key
You can also open a bottle with plastic corks without a corkscrew by first drilling a key into the cork at an angle. Then gently twist the cork and pull the key upwards during rotation to release the cork from the bottle.
3) Open can with spoon
You can also get doses without a can opener by rubbing a gap with the spoon of a spoon anywhere on the edge of the lid. Once this is created, you use the spoon along the edge to loosen the lid.
Tin cans are usually made of tinplate, which is only half a millimeter thick.
4) Teapot and Tesafilm
After pouring the tea, unfortunately, always a few drops run down the spout and land on the tablecloth, where they leave unsightly stains. To prevent this, you do not need to do any further than stick a piece of Tesafilm directly underneath the sink and cut off protruding corners. The water repellent surface of the tape prevents the tea from running down the jug.
5) chopsticks and clothespins
If you are having trouble eating with chopsticks, a clothespin can help you deal with them. Remove the metal spring for this purpose and insert the chopsticks into it, following the same principle as the two legs of the clothespin were previously attached to it. This way, the rods stay in position with each other and are much easier to handle.
6) Cleaning platform for waffle irons
To clean your waffle iron easily and effectively, you heat it first, so that the fat dissolves from the baking pan. Then add a “dough” of 3 tablespoons of cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of water to the dish and bake a waffle from this mixture. The starch binds the fat and also removes crumbs from the waffle iron.
7) With cup two bowls in the microwave
If you would like to heat two bowls in the microwave at the same time, but the two do not fit next to each other, you can help with a cup. Put the first bowl in and just place a cup next to it and place the second bowl on it.
8) Clean the bottle from the inside with rice
Clean your refillable bottle from the inside by filling it with 3 tablespoons of uncooked rice and water, closing it and shaking vigorously. Then add some more water to the rice and shake the sealed bottle again. Then you empty the bottle and rinse it off finally.
9) Clean coffee grinder with spelled grain
If you prefer freshly ground coffee at home, you can rid the grinder of your coffee grinder of the oil and grease residues of coffee beans by grinding a handful of spelled grains in it. The rather soft grain does not damage the grinder and absorbs the fat residues.
10) newspaper against masticating Tupperdose
Tupper cans sometimes take on the odors of the food they keep. In particular, if the plastic has scratches, it can collect moisture in them, in which the aroma and odors are dissolved.
To remove the odors, put crumpled newspaper in the plastic box. The newsprint absorbs the moisture and thus removes the foul odors.
11) Flour against fat splashes when frying
Fat splashes occur when the water from meat or fish hits the hot dripping. To avoid this, add some flour to the oil in the pan before putting the food in the pan. The flour binds the moisture.
12) Remove air from freezer bag
To get excess air out of the freezer bag before freezing, leave the freezer bag at the corner a bit open and dip it with the food in a bowl of water. Slowly submerge the bag under water until only the opening protrudes. The water pressure forces the air out of the bag.
Once this is done, lock the bag, dry it, and finally put it in the freezer. For this trick, we recommend a freezer bag with zipper.
Less stains – and if something is missing or fails, you can help yourself with sophisticated alternatives: These tips will certainly be useful in your kitchen.
