1. How to never use a measuring spoon again

This measuring spoon hack can transform the baking experience and save you a lot of time. The idea is that you need to dip the spoon into the mountain of flour or whatever dry ingredient you’re using. It should leave the perfect measurement. Then, add the ingredient inside the shape and voilà.

2. How to avoid unfortunate accidents after cutting hot peppers

Hot peppers are fiery and delicious. Unfortunately, cutting them can get messy. Sometimes, even after washing your hands, the skin and eyes can still get irritated if you touch your face. To wash off the capsaicin, the substance that causes the burning sensation, rub vegetable oil on your hands before you wash your hands with soap. © CorneliusJenkins / Reddit

3. How to save gas

You can cook 2 dishes at once with 2 pans on the same burner, just make sure the upper pan is positioned correctly, so it doesn’t fall.

4. How to prevent food from boiling over.

Place a wooden toothpick between a pan’s lid and the pan to keep liquids from flowing out.

5. How to evenly ripen soft fruits and vegetables

Vegetables and fruits that are soft or ripe can be hard to take advantage of if you don’t know how to store them properly. The goal is to make sure they ripen evenly, so none of the produce goes to waste. Evenly ripen soft fruits and vegetables like peaches, avocados, and tomatoes by putting them in a paper bag for 1 to 2 days. © Whimsical-turtle / Reddit

6. How to store onions and potatoes the right way

It’s common to store potatoes and onions together because they have a long shelf life. But this is actually the worst thing you can do for them. Potatoes give off certain gases that will really speed up the ripening process of your onions.

Even worse, when stored together, they’ll each rot more quickly and go bad. So the best thing to do is store them separately.

7. How to enjoy your chips bag the most.

Traditionally, bags of chips sit upright for a long time, which causes the seasoning to settle to the bottom. To avoid this, open the bag upside down and shake it before consumption. © chud_munson / Reddit
