An overfilled fridge prevents air from circulating properly. It's the perfect excuse to use all of the goodies that might be hiding in the back! #nofoodwaste #kitchentips

unconventionalbaker Good tip! I once had to call in a technician because my fridge was leaking, and the problem was just that it was so packed some things were blocking a vent :s so I can vouch for this one 👍🏻

annefood Oh no @unconventionalbaker ! Glad it was an easy fix!!
This changes everything.

Gwendolyn That makes so much sense! They say the most potent onions actually have more cancer-fighting properties, so I'm glad to know of a solution for the tearful chop!

jodavis @rachna I love that one. I've tried chewing gum but I still cry! Would love to know others.

After composting so much pineapple the other week, this seems like a great idea! #kitchentips

Georegulus Awesome
-
Ricky Oh wow. Definitely going to try this. And could have used this two days ago. At the very least shouldn't have eaten an entire pineapple in one sitting.
-
lauren Oh I definitely would not have been able to... It was something a friend brought over as her dinner (?) but I'll pass the message along
Make things easier by wiping your measuring cup with oil before measuring sticky peanut butter or honey.

DietID_TeamDietitians Oh that is smart!
Need help opening that pesky jar? Put a rubber band around the lid for added grip.

annefood A new discovery for me! Brilliant!
Need some vegetable inspiration? Dress cooked veggies in a salsa for an exciting side dish.
I made this quick salsa out of chopped olives, capers, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, parsley and olive oil, and used it to make some blanched romanesco much more exciting. Have asparagus? Make a s...

SimplySeema Yum! Sounds delicious. Have you used Turmeric before? It's a spice that may help prevent cold/flu and so colorful.

-
SimplySeema @LesleyRozycki it's great and won't disappoint. Be careful though to avoid getting it on your clothes bc it stains everything yellow.
Ganache! Took a great baking class and learned some new tricks!

Avocado kept fresh
I recently found an easy way to store half / part of an avocado from turning brown .
Simply cover it in plastic wrap ( in a nicely sealed air tight manner ) and place in the fridge.

DietID_TeamDietitians Yes! Also storing it with the pit and in lemon juice also works! #kitchentips
-
Yfalkson Pretty sure I heard the pit part is actually a myth. I think Kenji Lopez from The Foodlab tested it
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Really?! Oof I'll give it a try sans the lemon juice. I always use both and it seems to work, but a true scientist would say only test one variable at a time :)
