1. Deseed a
Pomegranate in Seconds Using a Wooden Spoon
If
you don't love pomegranates, it's either because you've never had one or you
hate how much work they take to deseed. While many people recommend peeling it in a bowl of water, it turns out
there's an even faster method: just break it open and bang on it with a
wooden spoon. You should have all those seeds in a bowl in about 10 seconds.
2. Stop
Peeling Boiled Eggs and Just Cut Them in Half
Peeling
a hard boiled egg is a pain in the butt, and there's a much easier way to get
to the goods inside: just cut it in half and spoon it out of the shell. It
should slip out pretty easily, though you should make sure there aren't any tiny
pieces of shell still stuck on it before you go shoveling it in to your mouth.
If that isn't enough of a parlor trick for you, though, you can always use use
the peel-and-blow method shown at the left.
3. Make
Pancakes with a Squeeze Bottle
Ladling
pancake batter into a pan is a recipe for a mess. Instead of dripping batter
all over the place, put that pancake batter in an old condiment bottle
and squeeze it out. You'll get perfectly shaped pancakes without any drips or
unevenness. Just make sure you wash that ketchup bottle thoroughly first,
because otherwise...ew.
4. Peel a
Head of Garlic in Seconds with Two Bowls
If
you have a particularly garlic-heavy recipe to make (so brave!), don't waste
time peeling each head by hand. Just crush your garlic as normal and throw it
all into a big salad bowl. Then, with another big salad bowl, shake the garlic up for a few seconds, and you
should find it's fully peeled and ready for cooking. Just remember to neutralize that garlic breath after the meal with a glass
of milk.
5. Peel a
Potato in One Step
If
you don't want to sit there peeling countless spuds just to get your mashed
potato fix, you can use this simple method for peeling them in seconds.
After boiling them, place them in a bowl of ice water for a few seconds. Then,
just grab it with both hands, twist, and pull apart. The skin should slide
right off.
