A shaker can be used not only for making cocktails – it can easily replace a water bottle if you need to take a drink with you – for example, on a trip or to a workout.
There is only one downside: despite careful washing, over time the shaker may develop a musty smell or any other smell that cannot be called pleasant.
You can get rid of it with the help of toothpaste: you need to pour a small amount of boiling water into a container, squeeze the paste into it, close the lid and shake it well - after this, the repulsive "aroma" will evaporate without a trace.
This same method can be used when you need to get rid of the smell from a thermos.
In addition, you will probably find it useful to have a compact trash can on hand, which will allow you to stay clean when cleaning vegetables and performing other cooking procedures.
So, to implement it, all you need to do is attach a simple bag to the tabletop with tape - now you can throw all your waste right there, without having to go to the trash can.
Finally, one more “trick” related to the “kitchen” category: in order for the kitchen to last a long time and not swell during use, do not forget that the area around the sink should always be dry.
This "idyll" is disturbed by the kitchen sponge, which always remains wet after washing dishes. The situation can be corrected by attaching it to the mixer with a rubber band.
