kitchen tip: my friend gave me the best tip, buy a small hand held vacuum cleaner to clean up little messes! so handy!! – contributed by Amy. thank you amy!
Here’s a good cooking tip I got from a work colleague. But you may know this already. Use lemon juice when making fruit salads (especially with bananas and apples). It stops them decaying fast. – Contributed by Mei – thank you Mei! (Waiting for pictures .. Mei)
random tip I read somewhere: if you put a whole raw potato in a stew or soup that you had over-salt, it will absorb some of the salt. – Kaylee
Hey mama bok, if you don’t have lemon juice, you can also use some orange juice. The magic is in the acidity of the juice! The acidity will stop enzyme activity and halt the browning process… so even a little of vinegar will work too!! =) – Laura
Instead of using baking soda to get rid of smells in the fridge, charcoal serves the same purpose too? Just put small pieces in a container and leave it in the fridge, guaranteed to get rid of those “odors”. – Alice
Really critical tip to use the citrus juice to keep the apples & bananas white! best, – s. stockwell
another good tip is to use passionfruit pulp on fruit salad to stop the apples from browning and cut lemons in half and place in fridge to absorb odours… and just incase u get oil on ur clothes from cooking, soak with white vinegar and then wash normally, the stains should fade if not disappear altogether. – KK
I learned this trick from my friend. If you spilled oil on the floor, use flour to adsorb it and wait for a while. Then you sweep it up and pour salt onto the floor. I think this trick is alrite. I didn’t like how the floor was so salty n then u gotta sweep again. – xbabiex
mixing salad with flavoured yogourt… a little white style but…. goood! – fiona to
I used to mix mash potatoes with sugar instead of salt.. learnt this dish from a Korean restaurant.. – SS
Whatever you are stir-frying or cooking, after seasoning and you found out that it’s really salty (which is over your own limit) then add in about a tbsp of Shaoxing wine + a tsp of sugar… it will actually smooth the taste and smells good too… Soo Fen
You guys & gals ROCK..!!!
