Life hacks that can be useful in the process of cooking should be in stock for any housewife who spends a lot of time in the kitchen.

How to refresh vegetables and herbs

If you've been planning a salad for dinner but have noticed that the ingredients have lost their freshness after being stored in the refrigerator, there's one simple trick that can help.

Submerge your produce in ice water for a few minutes and watch it instantly come to life – lettuce leaves and cucumbers will become crisp and vibrant, perfect for your dish.

This method can also be used to "bring to life" half a lemon.

Where to put a saucepan lid

When preparing a dish, we often need to lift the lid of the pan to check its readiness or, for example, add spices. The question arises: where to put the lid when it is not in use?

The solution is very simple: just insert the lid into the handle of the pan, thus hooking it onto the side of the container.

How to Freeze Clear Ice

You've probably noticed that the ice served in restaurants in separate containers or added to ready-made drinks is crystal clear and transparent. At home, it often turns out cloudy and opaque.

But don't despair: instead of pouring water directly from the tap into ice cube trays, use boiled water.

As a result, the ice will be transparent without any other efforts.

Earlier we told you what to make from potatoes : not a casserole and not potato pancakes.
