HOUSEHOLD HINTS


  • To determine whether an egg is fresh, immerse it in a pan of cool, salted water. If it sinks, it is fresh, If it rises to the surface, throw it away.

  • To prevent egg shells from cracking, add a pinch of salt to the water before hard-boiling!

  • Egg shells can be used to clean glass bottles: Break the shells into pieces, drop them into the bottle with a few drops of detergent and a bit of water, and shake vigorously. Then rinse with water.



  • Zap garlic cloves in the microwave for 15 seconds and the skins slip right off!




  • Wrap celery/coriander bhaji in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator it will remain longer.





  • To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes!

  • Potatoes will take food stains off your fingers. Just slice and rub raw potato on the stains and rinse with water.
