To organize convenient work in the kitchen, you can use several tricks. Let's look at 5 ideas that will solve some kitchen problems and difficulties for free.
Idea 1. Labeling jars without a printer
Many people like to pour herbs, spices and grains into various glass jars. They store better in a closed container than in an open container.
To avoid having to figure out which bank contains what for a long time, you can sign them in an original way. Simply cut out the name of the product from the packaging and stick the resulting strip onto the container with regular stationery tape.
The printed inscription looks neat and appropriate.
Idea 2. Ignition of a gas burner with a broken electric ignition without matches
If the electric ignition in one of the burners on the stove is broken, and there are no matches or lighters in the house, then spaghetti will help.
A long pasta is used as a torch. You can set it on fire from a working burner and transfer the fire to a broken one. The advantages of this method are the absence of acrid smoke, as when using paper.
Idea 3. Homemade containers for storing spaghetti or cereals
If the topic of storing cereals in different jars is not for you, because you want all the containers to be the same, then you can make them yourself. To do this, take 2 identical PET bottles, in which the neck is cut off evenly slightly above the center.
One of the resulting cylinders is cut lengthwise by 3 cm.
After this, the bottoms of the bottles can be closed like a tube. These containers are just perfect for storing spaghetti.
Idea 4. Convenient location of the cookbook when cooking
When preparing a new dish according to a recipe from a cookbook, you should periodically review the author’s recommendations.
In this case, the book gets in the way on the table, and its pages can turn over on their own. To avoid this, you should simply hang it open on hangers for trousers and skirts. The hanger itself clings to the handle of the kitchen cabinet. This way, the open book will always be in front of your eyes, you won’t have to constantly rearrange it and open it on a bookmark.
Idea 5. What to do to prevent boiling liquid from escaping
When cooking milk, pea soup and many other dishes, the liquid from the pan tends to escape when boiling. Even an open lid does not help from this. In order not to constantly be on duty at the stove, you need to put a wooden spatula or ladle on the pan. The rising foam will be held by surface tension, and at moderate heat will not be able to escape from the container.
