- Stop a Pot from Boiling Over
Place a wooden spoon across the top of your pot to prevent it from boiling over. The spoon breaks the surface tension of the bubbles, keeping them from overflowing.
- Keep Brown Sugar Soft
Place a marshmallow or a slice of bread in your brown sugar container. The moisture from the marshmallow or bread will keep the sugar soft and easy to scoop.
- The Perfect Hard-Boiled Egg
To easily peel hard-boiled eggs, add a teaspoon of baking soda to the water when boiling. The baking soda raises the pH of the water, making the shells easier to remove.
- DIY Smartphone Stand
Create a makeshift smartphone stand using an old cassette tape case or a folded business card. This simple solution provides a hands-free way to watch videos or make video calls.
