The most famous way to use brine is to fight hangovers, but there are more interesting options for its use in everyday life.
Thrifty housewives never pour out the liquid left over from canned cucumbers.
Marinade
A marinade made from brine will make beef, pork and even chicken more tender; you can dip it in this liquid to get an even juicier and more flavorful dish.
The liquid is good not only for meat. Some housewives grate carrots and chop onions, and then pour the brine over the vegetables. They put them in the refrigerator for 1 hour, and then add them to other dishes.
Dishwashing liquid
The brine is used in the most difficult cases, for example, when you need to wash a baking sheet or grill grates. The contaminated surface should be filled with cucumber liquid for 30-60 minutes, and then clean the dishes with a brush or sponge.
Dough
The brine will be useful for making cookies. What you will need:
- brine – 1 glass;
- sugar – 1 glass;
- flour – 3 cups;
- salt – 1 tsp;
- sunflower oil – 100 ml.
The ingredients are mixed, the dough is kneaded and put in a warm place for 20 minutes. Then the dough is rolled out, cut out into cookies and baked for 20 minutes at 180 °C.
