Every housewife would like her kitchen to be more convenient, and all the work in it to be done faster. And this is possible if you know a few simple secrets! For example, you can take new cups, glasses and plates. They often have those annoying stickers on them, which you still try to remove without leaving any traces. Usually, they leave a bunch of glue, which then has to be washed for a long time. But you can make everything much easier!
To do this, you need to take any vegetable oil, apply it to the sticker residue and rub it with a rag or cotton pad. That's it! In a few minutes, there will be no trace left at all. This is even more effective than a dishwasher, which is not always as good at washing off sticker residue.
If you love canned food but usually eat it gradually, then to extend its shelf life, simply smear the lid of the jar with mustard. Even a small layer is enough to create a protective barrier and protect against microbes, bacteria, and mold.
Another cool idea is to create a place to wind the cable on your kitchen appliances. Some have this compartment by default. But most devices do not have it. To fix this, you need to buy 2 plastic hooks with an adhesive base and place them behind the appliance so that they face opposite directions. After that, you can wind the cable on the hooks for convenient storage of the appliance.
And you also need to take care of your appliances regularly to make them last longer. For example, toasters need to be cleaned of bread crumbs, and kettles need to be cleaned of scale. In the second case, regular citric acid will do. It can quickly remove even a thick layer of old scale. You only need a few teaspoons of citric acid.
If your cake either burns or doesn't bake, then the solution will be regular parchment, which you use to line the pan. But it should also be placed on top. Before that, crumple it well, moisten it and cover the cake on top. Thanks to this, the pastry will be well baked and will not burn.
If you like to have flowers decorating your kitchen, then to make them stay fresh in the water longer, simply add activated charcoal to the vase. It purifies the water and prevents bacteria from multiplying. The charcoal also absorbs the ethylene that flowers give off, which makes them wilt faster.
And if you have a lot of houseplants in your kitchen, they can sometimes get flies. To get rid of them, just prepare a weak solution of potassium permanganate and pour it on the soil. But the solution should be very light, slightly pink, otherwise it will not only drive away the flies, but also harm the plants.
