Our Opinion
Welcome parents, guardians, and all those who find themselves responsible for the well-being of tiny humans! We know the struggles of trying to keep the little ones entertained, fed, and out of trouble. That’s why we’re here to share with you some life-saving hacks courtesy of our friends over at So Yummy.
Good luck, and don’t fork it up! We’ve all been in situations where we need a quick fix in the kitchen, whether it’s for a last-minute dinner or a snack for the kids. That’s where these 10 easy hacks using everyday kitchen utensils come in handy.
First up, have you ever found yourself in need of a cookie cutter but can’t seem to find one anywhere? Fear not, just grab a drinking glass and voila, you’ve got yourself a makeshift cookie cutter.
Next, if you’ve ever struggled to get that last bit of mayo out of the jar, try using a rubber spatula to scrape it all out. You’ll be amazed at how much you’ve been missing out on.
And for those times when you need to slice a cake but don’t have a knife handy, try using dental floss. Simply slide it under the cake and pull it through for a clean cut every time.
If you’re in need of a rolling pin but don’t have one, try using a wine bottle instead. It’s the perfect shape and size for rolling out dough or crushing crackers for a pie crust.
And don’t forget about using a spoon to help peel ginger. Simply scrape the skin off with the edge of a spoon for a quick and easy way to get that fresh ginger flavor in your dishes.
We’ve all been there, trying to open a stubborn jar lid with no luck. Try using a rubber band around the lid for added grip, or even a rubber spatula for extra leverage.
And for those times when you need to soften butter quickly, try grating it with a cheese grater. It’ll melt in no time for all your baking needs.
If you ever find yourself in need of a makeshift piping bag, try using a Ziploc bag with a small corner snipped off. It’s the perfect way to decorate cakes and cupcakes without the hassle of a traditional piping bag.
And lastly, if you need a quick fix for a broken eggshell in your batter, simply use half of the broken shell to scoop it out. It’s a simple and effective way to save your recipe from disaster.
So there you have it, 10 easy hacks using everyday kitchen utensils to help you navigate the chaos of mealtime with ease. Good luck, and remember, don’t fork it up!
