Ever Heard of the Potato-Apple Trick?!

Potatoes sprouting way too fast? There’s actually a science-backed kitchen hack for that. If you store apples with your potatoes, the ethylene gas from the apples slows down the sprouting process in potatoes. Wild, right? It’s all about the natural chemicals fruits give off. But don’t toss onions in the same bin—onions and potatoes together will spoil each other quicker. A lot of people keep all their produce in one spot, but separating things based on how they interact can actually keep them fresher longer. Also, potatoes like a cool, dark place, not the fridge. The cold turns their starch into sugar, which messes with the flavor and texture. Just a little food science from what I saw at a local market display today! Now share it to you lol. #Food Knowledge #Kitchen Hacks #ProduceTips #Food Storage

To storage your unfinished Chips WITHOUT🚫tools

The trick is to push out as much air as possible, then lay the bag flat and smooth it out. I fold the top over itself a few times, making sure each crease is tight. If I’m feeling extra, I’ll fold the corners in first, then roll the top down and flip the corners over for a tighter seal. I usually store the bag upside down and put a bowl or something heavy on top. It’s not perfect, but it definitely keeps the chips fresher than just rolling the bag up. This method works best when the bag isn’t too full—otherwise, it’s hard to get a good seal. I’ve tried this with tortilla chips, kettle chips, and even pretzels, and it’s a solid backup when there’s no clip in sight. #kitchen hacks #snack #Food storage #chips#foodtips #Cooking

A genius way to store Tomato Paste

Every time a recipe calls for just a teaspoon of tomato paste, I feel like the rest of the can is destined for the trash. It used to drive me nuts. Now, whenever I open a new can, I portion out the leftovers into a silicone ice cube tray. Each cube holds about a tablespoon, which is perfect for most recipes. I freeze them, then pop the cubes into a zip-top bag once they're solid. When a recipe needs a bit of tomato paste, I just grab a cube or two and toss it straight into the pan—no thawing needed. This trick works for soups, stews, or even a quick pasta sauce. Sometimes, I sauté a cube with garlic and onion as a base for chili or curry. The flavor is more concentrated than tomato sauce, so it adds a nice depth. I’ve also stirred a cube into canned soup to make it taste less like, well, canned soup. It’s a small thing, but it cuts down on waste and saves a few bucks over time. If you don’t have an ice cube tray, spooning little dollops onto parchment and freezing works too.
