Time is a precious resource, and when you consider that the average person, especially women, spends around 18 years of their life in the kitchen, finding ways to save time becomes incredibly valuable. Here are five kitchen hacks that can make your daily routine much quicker and more efficient.
1. Boiling eggs and then peeling them without destroying the egg whites can be a tricky task. The fresher the egg, the more difficult it is to peel. But there’s a simple solution—just add a pinch of baking soda to the water before you boil the eggs. This simple addition helps the baking soda slip under the shell and prevent the egg whites from sticking, making peeling much easier.
2.Cooking frozen vegetables doesn’t have to take a long time. You can speed up the process by microwaving frozen veggie mixes without defrosting them first. Simply add a little water and use the microwave’s preset cooking mode for veggies. Not only does this method cook the vegetables faster, but it also retains more nutrients compared to traditional stovetop cooking.
3.Peeling garlic can be a time-consuming and sticky job, especially when dealing with many small cloves. To make it easier, separate the cloves from the bulb and place them in two bowls of the same size or a pot with a lid. After sealing the bowls or pot, shake it vigorously for about 20 seconds as if you were making a cocktail. This motion separates the garlic from the peel without getting your hands sticky or smelly, and it’s a fun and effective way to handle even the smallest cloves.
4.Whole potatoes can take a long time to bake in the oven. If you’re craving baked potatoes but want to speed up the process, try microwaving them for a minute on high power before putting them in the oven. This easy tip can reduce your baking time by 50% while keeping the taste and texture of your potatoes just as you like them. You can also use this method for other vegetables to save time.
5. If you’ve forgotten to thaw your meat overnight but still need to cook it within a few hours, there’s a quick way to defrost it. Place your frozen meat (around 1.5 to 2 kilograms) in a sealed plastic bag and tie it tightly. Next, submerge the bag in a container of cold water, ensuring the knot is outside the water. Replace the water every half hour, and within 2-3 hours, your meat will be completely thawed and ready to cook with no trouble.
These simple yet effective hacks will not only save you time but also make your time in the kitchen more enjoyable and efficient.
