This type of \u201ccooking secret\u201d is often associated with one of the most common problems in the kitchen: spilled oil, a burnt pot or a cooking smell. However, if we talk about a real \u201cgame-changer\u201d that solves the most frustrations at once, it is the use of ordinary table salt or water with vinegar. Here are the biggest \u201cheadaches\u201d that will solve:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Spilled oil: Every cook\u2019s nightmare
    If you spill a bottle of oil on the floor, most people will grab a rag and detergent, which will only make the situation worse and create an endless greasy stain.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The secret: Immediately sprinkle the spot with a thick layer of salt (or flour).
    The result: The salt absorbs the oil and forms lumps that you can simply sweep up. Then just rub the spot once and the floor is no longer greasy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Burnt bottom of pot without scrubbing
      Scrubbing burns destroys dishes and nails.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Secret: Pour a little water into a pot, add a glass of vinegar and bring to a boil. Then set aside and add 2 tablespoons of baking soda.
      Result: The reaction will loosen even the toughest burns. Leave it for 10 minutes and wash the pot with the soft side of a sponge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Fish or onion smell on your hands
        Soap often does not work on strong odors (garlic, fish).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Secret: Rub your hands on stainless steel (e.g. a stainless steel sink or knife blade – be careful!) under cold running water.
        Result: The sulfur molecules that cause the odor bind to the metals in the steel and disappear from your hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. To prevent water from leaking out of the pot while cooking
          Everyone knows this: you turn around for a second and the water from the potatoes or pasta is on the stove.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          The secret: Place a wooden ladle over the open pot.
          Result: When the bubbles hit the wood (which is dry and has a different temperature), they burst and the foam returns. No more cleaning a burnt stove!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. The \u201cwet towel trick\u201d for safety
            The biggest headache and risk of injury in the kitchen is a slipping cutting board.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            The secret: Place a damp paper towel or thin cloth under the cutting board.
            Result: The board won\u2019t move a millimeter, which will save you nerves and protect your fingers.
            Which of these kitchen \u201cheadaches\u201d bothers you the most? If you want, I can give you a specific trick for cleaning the oven or how to keep vegetables fresh longer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
