Your kitchen tools aren't always what they seem. In fact, there are a number of ways to use very ordinary kitchen appliances in ways you might never have expected. For example, did you know that you can use a wooden spoon to prevent boiling water from bubbling over? (You can!) You should definitely know this trick and these 9 others.
1. Spatula Smarts

Tongs can tear and break delicate fish flesh. A spatula will help
fish stay together better.
2. Glass Or Metal

You can bake cakes in glass or metal pans. However, when using glass, lower the oven temperature 25 degrees.
3. Handle Helper

If you have a metal pan lid, slide a couple of corks under the handle to help avoid burning your hand.
4. Tape It Up

Have an important recipe you can’t lose? Print or write it out and tape on a cabinet door.
5. Don’t Go-Go Gadget

Fancy kitchen gadgets can be a waste of time and money. Invest in a set of good knives, skillets and spatulas and you’ve got a good start.
Quality is most important.
6. First Aid Alert

Keep a first aid kit in the kitchen pantry. When you have a minor emergency like a cut or burn, you’ll appreciate the convenience and close proximity.
7. Goofy Goggles

Keep a pair of swim or safety goggles in the kitchen drawer. Wear them when cutting onions to avoid tears.
8. Chopstick Cleaners

Save the chopsticks from Chinese takeout. Use them after cooking to scrape hard-to-reach spills from stove and countertop edges without
scratching.
9. Gross But Grate

If you want a handy, finger-protecting grater, purchase a heel
callus and bunion remover with a receptacle to hold scrapings. Ginger, citrus zest,
and chocolate can be easily grated and held in the receptacle. Label FOR KITCHEN USE ONLY.
