9 kitchen life hacks worthy of the Nobel Prize

Both professional chefs and hobbyists alike know a lot of tricks to make their job easier. Moreover, they always come up with something new or manage to rediscover old tricks for themselves.

At Pictolic we scour social media almost every day for something out of the ordinary. We have checked all the culinary life hacks ourselves and we think that you will start using them in your daily life as soon as possible.

1. Apple cutters are suitable for chopping mushrooms.

With an apple knife, you can cut not only fruits but also mushrooms. All you have to do is place the stem of the mushroom in the center of the knife and press down.

2. You can also cut the mushrooms on a skewer.

Another way to cut a large number of mushrooms is to string them on a skewer and cut off the heads by pressing them with a knife. Once you get to the skewer, flip it over and continue cutting on the other side.

3. Bags and bottles can be used to store bulk products.

If you run out of dry storage containers or are going on a hike and don't want to take the extra container with you, put cereal or sugar in a plastic bag, cut off the top of a water bottle or any other plastic beverage bottle, and pull the top of the bag through the neck. Unfold the edge of the bag and screw the lid on top.

4. No need to give up the ring on the bottles with vegetable oil.

We often throw away the ring when we open another bottle of vegetable oil. However, this can help us save the product. All you have to do is press it down with the loop down and secure it to one of the prongs on the lid, leaving only a small gap. This will cause the oil to flow out in a thin trickle rather than a thick trickle.

5. Salads, cucumbers, and lemons can be freshened with plain water.

You can freshen up a slightly faded salad by placing it in a container of ice water. After a few minutes, the leaves will become crisp and vibrant. You can do the same with cucumbers or half a lemon.

6. You can slice the kiwi with the whisk of a mixer.

You can quickly and neatly cut the insides of the kiwi with a regular mixer whisk. Cut the fruit in half, press down with a whisk and rotate the inside of the fruit. Then remove the whisk.

7. You get the perfect scrambled eggs if you separate the whites from the yolks.

If you don't like scrambled eggs with "snotty" yolk, do not break the whole egg in a skillet. Separate the whites from the yolk first, then add the white to the pan. After the protein is slightly browned, gently pour over the yolk.

8. Young carrots can be peeled with foil.

Young carrots are easy to peel by rolling a regular sheet of foil into a ball and rubbing the vegetable with it.

9. The thermometer can be clamped onto the pan.

Sometimes it is necessary to control the temperature of the liquid during cooking, but holding the thermometer in your hand is very inconvenient. The good news is that it can be clamped to the pot.
