Handy tips

Don’t get stuck in the snow

Keep a bag of cat litter in your car’s boot during winter. When stuck in the snow scatter it behind the traction wheels for traction.

Alternatively, when stuck, place the rubber mats from the car behind the traction wheels. They might just provide enough traction to get out of the snow.

Fish smell on hands

After working with raw fish, rub your hands with a mixture of vinegar, lemon juice and some salt. Then rinse the hands in warm water and then wash it normally. That will prevent the fishy smell from setting on your hands.

Blisters

Before putting on your training shoes for a workout, put a large blob of Vaseline over any area of your feet that regularly blisters.

Stuck in mud or sand

A hub-cap of your vehicle can be used as a spade if the car gets stuck in the mud or sand.

Techniques for Frying Meat

Here some tips to make frying of meat less messy and easier.

Oil free frying

When frying hamburger patties, sprinkle the pan lightly with salt instead of using cooking oil. The patties will fry in their own juices, without sticking to the pan.

Quick-frying of hamburgers

To cook hamburger patties quickly and evenly all over, make holes in the centre when shaping the patties. The holes will disappear as the meat cooks and swells.

Frying bacon

To stop bacon from curling, prick the frying pieces with a fork, or dip the strips in cold water before frying them.

 Preventing spattering

Inverting a metal colander over a frying pan prevents fat from spattering the surrounding area, while allowing steam to escape. Remember to use oven gloves to handle the colander.
