We all know the struggle of spending hours shaping meatball patties or mincing peppers. Worry not, as these 11 kitchen hacks from Bếp Eva will make you a master chef in no time!
1. Shaping meatballs can be time-consuming, but my friend has a clever trick up her sleeve. She spreads the meat mixture across a baking tray and cuts it into equal squares. Then, she simply rolls each square into a ball – a quick and efficient method!
2. Celery is a nutritious green veggie that we all love. Instead of storing it in the fridge as-is, trim the leaves and place the stalks in a box with water. This keeps them crisp, fresh, and green for longer.
3. Leftover pizza? Don’t throw it away! Place it in a ziplock bag and store it in the fridge. This keeps the crust and cheese from drying out, so you can enjoy it later as if it were fresh.
4. After a long day at work, cooking can feel like a chore. But with a few tweaks, you can make it more enjoyable. Try using dining chairs to elevate your cooking experience – a simple yet effective hack!
5. For busy bees, freezing soups and broths is a lifesaver. Simply thaw and reheat whenever you need a quick, tasty meal.
6. Love spring rolls but hate how they stick together? Brush a little sesame oil on each roll, and you’re good to go! No more sticky situations.
7. Baking a fruit-topped cake? Toss the fruit with a bit of flour first. This prevents the fruit from sinking to the bottom during baking.
8. Craving grilled cheese but out of bread? Try making a quesadilla instead. It’s a tasty twist that will satisfy your cravings.
9. Mincing peppers can be a chore, but with a vegetable grater, it’s a breeze! Simply grate the peppers, and you’ll have a fine mince minus the seeds.
10. Planning a Halloween party? Impress your guests with these spooky treats. They’re easy to make and perfect for the occasion.
11. Storing strawberries in a glass jar versus a plastic container makes a huge difference in terms of freshness. Remember this tip, and your berries will thank you!
