Bananas are easier to peel from the bottom.

Here's a whole bunch of really cool kitchen hacks,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=3rHWUki86N8

Like TEN of them!

"Hacks" as a synonym for "neat trick" should be banned along with EVOO, "nom", "sammie", and "yummo"

put ketchup in the fridge to keep it fresh for longer

>>4763587
>I don't like culture changes!!!!

GB2/bed/ gramps

put a little sriracha on everything you eat and it will probably taste better

>>4763580
>using your knife to stab holes in a can

>>4763590
Ice cubes keep better and won't get that freezer smell if you store them a bowl of water in the freezer. Make sure they are full submerged so the air doesn't get to them.

>>4763587
...you know that is what the slang version of "hack" has meant for a really long time...like precomputer time...right?

>>4763595

this isn't a "culture change" it's childish slang used by idiots. if you were old enough to have lived through actual culture changes you'd know the difference on sight.

>>4763602

using the push tabs in a roll of foil the way they're designed to be used is a "hack"? no, you're a waste of oxygen.

>>4763602

Pre-computer time hack meant a taxicab.

>>4763603
You probably don't even know what "culture" means.

since the 1200s at least

I found that putting the lid back on the peanut butter jar tightly kept it from drying out. i'd lost soooo much peanut butter to drying out in the past because of loose lids.

>>4763606
This, holy fuck it says to do it on the box, being able to read is not a hack.

Turning the knob on a stove makes the hot part get hot

OMG AMAZING HACKS

>>4763606
Could you be any more ass pained?

Something tell me you people didn't even know and are now offended something so obvious was pointed out to you.

>>4763620

how does it feel to be so stupid that you're reposting outbrain content farm spam from the low IQ demographic, onto 4chan, and getting shat on for your trouble?

Calling a well-established property of a package a, "kitchen hack" is Level 73 Neckbeard.

>>4763623

>>4763570

lol

real talk he might not do anything mindblowing but he's a good chef

Most refrigerators come with a section that is very cold, called the freezer. You can use this for long-term storage, making ice cubes, etc.

Instead of craning your neck to drink from the faucet, use a cup to hold the water.

>>4763644

christ

>>4763649
......can't breath

feeling thirsty but all your water is in a bottle?
hold the bottle with the narrow side facing up, put one hand on the side and one hand on top and twist in opposite directions.

the top piece will come off allowing you to drink the contnets

I've always done this with spaghetti and lasagna, cutting it into 4 or 5 rectangles and moving them to the edges of the plate.

>>4763650
how about use one plate for onions+tomatoes+pickies, and let people squeeze ketchup/mayo/mustard from the jar.

one plate is 10x easier to clean than a muffin tin

Get a dishwasher.

isnodua

>>4763662
sure bruv, I'll buy a dishwasher for the room im renting

>>4763661

or just learn how to use a knife

>>4763643

What sad miserable country won't let you drink on the beach?

>>4763663
how about drink directly from the can, n no straw required


>>4763666
this is less a life-hack and more a recipe idea

>>4763665

>>4763669
I can see how it would be easier than with a knife.

>>4763705
If your pot is boiling over, just turn the heat down a bit. It doesn't need to be on the hottest setting, just hot enough to keep it boiling, and that stops it from boiling over.

>>4763632

What do you know, a mod actually doing a good job.

>>4763744
truth right here

>>4763813

that's like saying a cop who gives out speeding tickets to people who speed and shoots innocent people in the back and plants guns on them is "doing a good job"

Looks like a pigeon was pecking on it.

>>4763817

You should have mentioned nazis in your post.

>>4763822

it's an analogy. I'm sorry I didn't take the time to write up an analogy involving imaginary fast food workers violating the official franchise "1 cell phone call per bathroom break" policy, but most people understand cop analogies.

>thinking ethanol isn't a date rape drug

>Drug Facilitated Rape typically involves the use of a the "date rape drug" (Flunitraepam, Rohypnol, GHB (Liquid E or Liquid G) and/ or alcohol. It is quite common, but not limited to, many college campuses across the United States. According to recent studies, alcohol is the #1 drug used to facilitate a sexual assault. For rape which takes place on campuses, alcohol is being used in 90% of cases.

http://www.cwfefc.org/svfacts.html

>>4763973

pretty sure "doing a good job" is still a meaningful concept with or without a salary.

>>4763969
The main problem is that there's no really education for safety nor a culture in America to help people learn about how dangerous swimming while drunk can be.

>>4763992
He didn't imply that at all. People aren't going around spiking drinks with alcohol at a bar you fucking dolt.

We aren't talking about ethanol, you know this you autist. Thanks for playing.

>>4763998
That's true, because public education and awareness is a socialist ploy that is a waste of taxpayer money and infringes on freedom.

Tip:

Add salt to water to make it come to a boil faster

I can't tell which "hacks" are serious and which aren't anymore, because none of them are useful in the slightest. What the hell?

to check if oil is hot enough for frying drop an ice cube in the water then look closely, if the ice melts in less than five seconds the water is hot enough, this only works if you hold your face close to the oil as the ice is barely visible when submerged

>>4764067
Half of them boil down to "do this insane convoluted thing instead of, you know, learning how to use a kitchen knife."

>>4764068
No.

>>4764068
Bleach and ammonia mixed together are fantastic for cutting grease. Go pour water into a glass of sulfuric acid, keep your face close, too. It's a neat party trick.

>>4763570
Buh-dum-tiss

>>4763636
The fuck? Seriously? Could you freeze stuff in it; to keep it longer?
So if I make a big pot of, say, plain pasta sauce and just take a portion out to defrost after its been in the freezer; then just sticking whatever veg or meat I want I could make a perfectly edible meal? Mohterfucker I've been doing this all wrong.

>>4763715
Why is that not a cup of tea and why isn't that a custard cream you motherfucking arsehole.

>to allow drunk people to swim in the ocean.
I thought people could think and didn't need any babysitting. And if you think, you can drink alcohol in a bar and when you leave, jump to the river. Drunk people will be drunk people whatever they are. In Glorious Europe, you can drink in the beach and I haven't heard in my life of anyone who drowned due to drunkness when swimming.

It's illegal to drink alcohol outside of private property and licenced venues, in most places.
It's more a matter of whether the local authorities enforce the laws.

LIFE HACK

You can save tons of money by not drinking alcohol (the major profits of any restaurant or market).

>>4765313
that's gay, the life hack is getting drunk before you go out

>>4763693

my car doesn't have seat warmers, though, how do i keep my pizza warm?

WHAT DO I DO?

>>4763705

Just blow on it. also you should probably turn it down a little if it's consistently boiling over.

>>4764942
the onion vapor that causes tears is enhaled through the nose.

If you can't crack an egg normally, try cutting it with a knife.

what was the original advice from this thread? it got convoluted and i forgot what it was about.

something about making coffee water boil faster by adding vinegar or some stupid shit like that

>>4764049
Not technically true, actually. High school level chemistry is enough to know that liquids with stuff dissolved in them will take longer to boil. However, this is because salt raises the boiling point of water. Salt water takes longer to boil, but stuff will cook in it faster because of the slightly higher temperature.

>>4763603
You're using American English.

Your argument is invalid.

>>4765144

>>4763667
>drinking directly from a can

enjoy your diseases.

>>4765936
this may be true, however sodium reacts violently with water; the sodium in sodium chloride reacts with the water and produces heat

>>4763734
This doesn't work.

Put your left over coffee in an ice cube tray and freeze it. You can make iced coffee that doesn't get watered down and shit.

>>4766429
>iced coffee
"yeah, I'll have some milk and sugar with a hint of coffee"

>>4766420
Nope, ionic sodium just dissociates and floats around as Na+ ions in the water until it has to pair up again with Cl- to maintain equilibrium.

Its called tiger bread in Australia. It is awesome. Im not sure exactly what the extra "spots" are, im guessing just extra bits of dough that has been eggwashed or something. It just adds an extra crunch that makes it so much better.

>>4766613
People with diabeetus or who eat lots of sugary foods tend to drink copious amounts of water and piss a lot. It is a big difference from drinking copious amounts of water and sweating out most of it and peeing at a normal interval.

>>4765892
They shouldn't. They will have moisture coming out through them from the moist batter inside. So, that will prevent them from burning until the entire thing dries out and you end up overcooking them.

>>4763567
How is that 'your' "hack"? It says right on that tab "Push in to lock"...

The stem is at the bottom of a banana. They point upwards, like an erect penis. What you meant to say is that they're easier to peel from the top.

actually useful hack:

hardboil your eggs with 1 tsp of baking soda per egg added to the water. breaks down the adhesion between the shell and egg, much easier to peel.

I just use the egg shell by not opening the egg shell up all the way. I don't get it all over my hands that way.
