Wise housewives try to act in such a way that nothing goes to waste in the house, even such a trifle as cucumber pickle.
Some might say it's just water with salt, herbs and spices, but this liquid can do more than just fight hangover symptoms.
We'll tell you how else you can use cucumber pickle juice to your advantage.
Cooking
1. You can marinate beef or pork in brine before baking or otherwise preparing the meat. The finished meat products are juicy, soft and flavorful.
You can do the same with chicken and other poultry.
2. You can use the brine to make dough for cookies or other hearty snacks.
To prepare you will need:
- 1 cup sugar;
- 3 cups flour;
- a pinch of salt;
- 100 ml vegetable oil.
It's easier to prepare than it seems. Mix all the ingredients, knead the dough, leave it in a warm place for 20 minutes, roll it out and make blanks using a mold or cup.
Bake the cookies for 20 minutes in an oven preheated to 180 degrees Celsius.
3. In addition, the famous rassolnik is cooked in brine, and homemade mustard is also prepared.
Household purpose
Considering that this liquid contains a large amount of salt, and sometimes even vinegar, the brine can be used to clean baking sheets, oven racks, or grilling equipment.
To do this, the utensils are poured with brine and left for one hour, after which they are washed with a brush or a hard sponge.
