Do you use your kitchen often? Here are some facts and tips about your kitchen that may surprise you. From appliances to countertops, you'll be surprised at how more efficient your workspace can get with just a few know-hows.
When it comes to your appliances like your oven and dishwashers, always remember that they have rules. They have a manual for a reason, and it is important that you follow them so that you could avoid premature damage and using it incorrectly. For example, when using your gas ovens, avoid using dark metal trays and keep in mind to rotate pans and trays while your baking to ensure equal cooking. You'd be surprised as well when it comes to your dishwashers, as most people have a tendency to use it incorrectly also. Don't throw away your manuals, and always keep them in a place where you could easily access it. You'll never know when its need may arise.
Who says you have to buy a lot of stuff to use in your kitchen? You'd be pleased to know that a lot of your kitchen tools could be use in more ways than just one. Your trusty scrub sponge could be use for your sweaters to get rid of the fuzz, and baking soda is the ultimate cleaning buddy. Baking soda may be a prime example of this, as it has known uses for cleaning almost everything and deodorizing almost everything possible as well. Make sure you've got a box in store!
Your dish soap can do wonders as well, as it can effectively remove grease stains on your clothes too - not just on your dishes! There are also an abundance of kitchen multi-tools out there that could be of great use to you as well, especially when you don't have a lot of space to store all of them.
