Top Life Hacks: Easy Tips to Simplify Your Daily Routine

Life is complicated, and sometimes all we want is an easy way out! Check out these great life hacks to save you the hassle.

Easily Peel Ginger

Rather than using a paring knife or vegetable peeler, reach for the spoon. Scrape it against the skin of your ginger and it’ll come right off. This is not only an easy method; it also minimises waste.

Freeze in Portions

Make leftovers last longer. Freeze your leftovers in meal-sized portions and simply re-heat it for quick easy, hassle-free meals.

Effortlessly Slice Meat

Slicing meat to grind or cook in a stir-fry can be tricky even with a sharp knife. To make it easier, place the meat in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to stiffen it up and watch how it turns a terrible task into an effortless slice!

No Rotten Eggs!

There is nothing as awful as an egg that’s passed its sell-by date. If an egg sinks when placed in a glass of water it means it’s fresh… when an end rises a little, you should use that egg ASAP. BUT if that egg floats toss it out or you’ll have a rotten situation on your hands!
