Ah, coffee. Elixir of life, the nectar of gods. The one thing we will never part from and that will forever be our bff first thing in the morning. If coffee were a religion, we would be the first converts pledging our allegiance to those heavenly brown beans.
For now, the closest thing to a coffee shrine we can have is this DIY coffee mug station. You’ll need a wooden box, some rods, and several S-hooks. After securing the box to the wall, mount the rods inside, hang the hooks, and then hang the mugs. Feel free to decorate and show your appreciation for the one thing you can’t live without.
No More Crying Over Onions
Even if you like the taste of onions, you have to admit that preparing them can be a hassle. The chemicals that they give off when you cut through the many layers make your eyes burn, make you tear up, and make you need to blow your nose too frequently for food prep.
If you find yourself dealing with this far too often, just put on a pair of goggles. Yes, yes, the same ones you use when you go swimming. If they can keep out water, they can keep out the stinging sensation of cutting onions. It's all about using resources properly, and this surely counts.
Peel Eggs Easier
A cooking hack for people who like to consume eggs is one where the eggshell pieces come off smoothly and easily. The trick is to wet your fingers and start peeling the egg slowly. It's a simple trick that doesn't require any added ingredients, and it truly works! Say goodbye to egg salad full of crack shells, say goodbye to awkward-looking eggs, and embrace smooth, silky, and delicious nutritious food.
We can assure you that from now on, your kids will ask for a second helping, and you will ask yourself, how didn't I come across this hack before? You are welcome, that is what we are here for.
Paper Towel Rack
Spills aren't only limited to the kitchen, and your house floor has stains to prove it. If you have carpets in all bedrooms, they are bout to have numerous stains and marks all over, and it has been clinically proven that the sooner you wipe them, the less stainy they will remain.
So why not keep a crisp roll of paper towels in every room? That way, you can at least pretend to have the habits of a clean person. The way to do it would be to mount a short tension rod in the closet/cupboard of the desired room and string the roll on it. Can you hear that? It's the sound of you becoming a responsible adult.
Open Your Jars Easily
We’ve all been in that place where we’ve got dinner going, and we’re starving, and all we need to add is just that one last ingredient – but the jar won’t budge. This sounds like a job for your handy, dandy duct tape! Next time you can’t get those pickles to pop open for your (otherwise) amazing turkey sandwich, try this tip.
Just make sure you press the tape into the can very well at first, otherwise, it will just peel right back off. Now you can say goodbye to calling your partner or your next-door neighbor for some help, or even worse, deciding to ditch the pickles and have dinner without.
