Tricky Tuesday #8: Prepping Food Easier #1
So I came across this site and I found amazing tricks on how to prep food easier. Here are some of my favorites:
How to open a jar easily?
“Can you open this jar for me?” Have you told that to someone else you think ‘stronger’ than you? I had. But it seems that people always ask me to open their jars as well. For smaller bottles, I often use my teeth. 😀 Yeah, I know. My Mom used to be mad at me when I do that. But worry no more as I have found out how to open jars easily without any so much force at all. Check this out.
How to keep brown sugar from getting hard?
I always, always crumble my brown sugar every time I use it. I don’t have any idea why brown sugar gets hard. Do you? I wanna know. To prevent this to happen again, you (and me) can do this amazing trick. It is promised that the bread won’t get moldy. I will have to try this myself.
How to make rich hot chocolate?
I know. I know. All eyes are focused now. Okay… so for hot chocolate lovers (I am one of you), of course, we love our drink to be rich in chocolate. Otherwise, it is not hot chocolate drink? Am I correct? 😀 To get that rich hot chocolate into your mug, you have to shave a chocolate? Am I correct again? But [like me], I don’t have enough patience to do that. Here’s another trick for you – hot chocolate lovers – let those supermarket truffles out and dunk them on your milk.
How to bring eggs to room temperature?
I always keep some eggs at room temperature for ’emergency’ baking. But one day, I completely forgot hat my [room temperature] eggs were gone (taken by the egg monster – who might that be?) and I let my eggs out from the fridge and let them sit for an hour. Huh? Too long, yes? Here’s the thing – let those eggs out from the fridge and put them in a bowl with warm water and you have room temperature eggs in five to ten minutes. Take note – WARM WATER.

Great tips Jhuls! I almost cancelled dinner because I couldn’t get a jar open. ; )
