When freezing ground beef, place it into a large resealable bag and flatten it out before placing it in the freezer. When you’re ready to cook it, it’ll thaw out much faster.<\/li>\n
Track the temperatures of your freezer to monitor any power loss by freezing a cup of water and placing a coin on the top. Since water takes a long time to melt in a freezer, if the coin is at the bottom of the cup, it will tell you that the food inside has spoiled. This is especially useful if you’re going on a trip.<\/li>\n
Wrap the stems of a bunch of bananas in plastic wrap to keep them from spoiling as quickly.<\/li>\n
You can peel cloves of garlic very quickly by placing them inside a container and shaking it for 5-10 seconds.<\/li>\n
Place a wooden spoon across a pot of boiling water to slow it from boiling over. Remember to always be in the kitchen when cooking!<\/li>\n
When heating leftovers in the microwave, space the food out and leave space in the center. This will heat the food much more evenly.<\/li>\n
Not sure if your eggs are spoiled? Drop them in a cup of water. If they sink, they’re still good!<\/li>\n
Frozen sponges make for great ice packs! Run a sponge under water and place it inside a sandwich bag, then freeze it and you have a perfect ice pack to keep food fresh in your lunchbox.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
