Hack#1: Place a wooden spoon across the top of the pot to avoid overspill

Hack#2: Wet your fingers before reaching for the shells floating in the egg.

Hack#4: Peel ginger using a spoon to scrape off skin without removing any excess ginger. It is also easier to get into the nooks and crannies of the ginger roots.

Hack#6: Using unscented dental floss will cleanly cut cakes, cheese and other soft foods.

Hack#7: Grill fish on a bed of lemon. This will keep fish from sticking and breaking up and while adding a delicious, zesty flavor.

Hack#8: Open a jar with a bottle opener. Gently lift the edge of the jar’s lid until you hear the seal pop, then unscrew.

Hack#9: Use an envelope as a funnel. Snip a hole in the corner of the envelope to make it a funnel.

Hack#11: To easily peel hard-boiled eggs, place it in a jar and put enough water to cover the egg. Place your hand on the jar and shake it hard. The shell will easily come off.

The same goes with peeling garlic – just minus the water. Place a garlic bulb in a jar, cover it with the lid and shake hard. The sulk will fall right off. Repeat these steps to peel the skin off.

Hack#12: Tongs can be used to juice lemon. Place cut lemon between the gap of the tongs and extract its juice by squeezing.

Hack#13:Put a peeled onion in hot water for three minutes before chopping so it doesn’t hurt your eyes.
