Cooking requires planning as well as skill and even if you like cooking, it’s easy to get discouraged by how much work goes into it. Read on for cooking hacks that will help you save time in the kitchen, especially on days that you are swamped and nothing sounds more daunting than heading to the kitchen to put together a home-cooked meal.
Peel with ease
To make mincing garlic and peeling easier, grind the clove with the edge of the knife or with the flat part of the knife.
Prevent dulling
To prevent dulling of your knife blade, always turn it upside down before removing items from your cutting board.
Juicing lemons
Roll limes or lemons between your counter and the heel of your palm to make it easier it juice.
Reduce the heat
To reduce the heat of the pepper, discard the seeds. This also helps produce a nice flavor for people who don’t like peppers.
Preparing grilled cheese sandwich
To whip up a good grilled cheese sandwich, add some freshly grated parmesan cheese on the outer part of the bread as it cooks. While it cooks, flip it over to allow the cheese cook properly and stick to the bread.
