How did I not know this before?!

1. Avocado Ripening Hack

Did you know that storing avocados with an apple or banana can speed up ripening? Ethylene gas from these fruits naturally helps soften your avocado faster, so no more guessing if it’s ready to eat!

2. Prevent Boiling Over

When cooking pasta or rice, place a wooden spoon across the top of the pot. It helps prevent the water from boiling over — a simple trick that keeps your stovetop cleaner with almost zero effort.

3. Reheat Pizza Perfectly

Forget the microwave! Reheat pizza in a skillet with a few drops of water and a lid on top. The crust stays crispy while the cheese melts perfectly — it’s like freshly baked pizza again.

4. Peel Ginger Easily

Instead of using a knife, use a spoon to peel ginger. It’s faster, safer, and wastes less of the root. You’ll wonder why you ever did it the old way.
