10 Great Kitchen Ideas

Tips, Tricks and Hints for Cooking, Baking and Storing Food

1. Get rid of freezer taste

No matter how clean you keep your freezer, foods tend to pick up a nasty "freezer taste" after a while. To get rid of it, give your frozen goodies a quick rinse under running water to wash out the ice.

2. Turn your faucet into a "metal soap"

Metal soaps are made out of stainless steel and used to remove unpleasant smells like garlic and fish from hands, for which they work very well. Not many people realize that if they have a kitchen faucet made out of stainless steel, it can be used for the same purpose! Rub your hands on the faucet to deodorize them quickly and effectively.

3. Use baking soda to remove tea and coffee stains

Tea and coffee tend to leave nasty stains on porcelain cups and mugs. Often even thorough washing doesn't get rid of them. There is, however, an easy fix: sprinkle a little baking soda in the cups and wash. The stains will come out like magic!

4. Use a sieve as a steamer

If you don't have a steaming basket, you can use a stainless steel sieve instead. Just place it on top of your kettle, add the food to be steamed inside and top with the lid. Do not use a plastic sieve, as it can melt.
