Tips and tricks for the Kitchen

Kitchen tips can be very handy and helpful. Every now and then i'm gonna post a few of them(may be 5 at a time) that i've been taught since a kid by elders and specially by my mom.
So here we go...

1: For free flow of salt from a salt cellar add a few grains of uncooked rice, it will never block the salt from flowing.

2: To get rid of odour from the microwave, place a bowl of water with a lime wedge and keep it on for about 10 minutes.

3: To avoid butter from burning in a pan, add a few drops of oil.

4. To keep herbs like coriander, mint, dill or chives fresh for a longer period of time, place them in brown paper bags and stash them into the freezer.

5: Another way is to place herbs into a vase with a little water. It keeps them fresh and looks decorative as well!
