Grill your fish atop lemon slices. Fish tends to stick to the grill and might even break apart when placed on it. To stop this, put the fish on top of lemon slices and grill. The lemon will also add a zesty flavor to the fish. 2 Likes 1 Share

How to reheat pizza Reheating pizza never tastes as yummy as the fresh stuff. But if you do have to reheat it, the best way to do so is by placing a glass of water in the microwave while reheating. This prevents the pizza from drying out. 6 Likes 1 Share

Use 2 plates to slice cherry tomatoes in one smooth motion. If you’re making a salad and need to cut a whole bunch of cherry tomatoes into halves, just trap them between 2 plates and slice through using a knife. 8 Likes

Wrap clingfilm around the stalk of a banana to prevent it from over-ripening. Use a piece of clingfilm the size of your fist to wrap the stalk of a banana tightly. This trick should give you another 3 to 5 days before the bananas get too ripe to be enjoyed. 5 Likes

Rince strawberries in lukewarm water with a little of vinegar. They can last up to 2weeks. Throw unpeeled potatoes to over salted food like rice and meat. Add vinegar before adding chutney when making beetroot. The vinegar rejuvenates the original taste of the beet. Pour a teaspoon of sugar before adding chicken. No oil or anything. Just semil boil the sugar. This makes the chicken produce water, instead of addin water on the chicken and therefore losing its original taste. 4 Likes 1 Share |
