ESSENTIAL KITCHEN HACKS TO to ENHANCE YOUR CULINARY SKILLS



1. Avoid co-locating onions and potatoes in storage, as the gases emitted can hasten their spoilage.


2. Elevate your palm oil by adding two or three orange leaves to the heating process, allowing them to turn black for a transformation into a pure groundnut oil, enhancing the flavor of your dishes.


3. Bid farewell to pepper-induced discomfort by scrubbing hands with a mixture of salt and red oil after handling, followed by thorough washing.


4. Rescue an oversalted soup by introducing a peeled potato, which acts as a salt absorber to restore the dish's balance.


5. Salvage a soured soup or stew by incorporating a small piece of charcoal while reheating; once warmed, remove the charcoal for a revived taste.


6. Preserve the freshness of citrus fruits (such as oranges, lemons, and limes) and tomatoes by refraining from refrigerating them, as low temperatures compromise their aroma and flavor.


8. Maintain the freshness of empty airtight containers by tossing in a pinch of salt to prevent unpleasant odors.


9. Prevent lumpy salt by adding a few grains of rice to absorb excess moisture.


10. Reuse cooking oil without lingering flavors by frying a 1/4" piece of ginger in the oil, effectively eliminating any residual tastes or odors.
