Removing The Stem Of A Strawberry
If you use fresh strawberries in making a dish, removing the stems from the berries can be frustrating and time-consuming. Simplify the process by using a plastic straw. Push the straw inside the pointy end of the strawberry through the center until its stem pops out. You will have a whole strawberry for cooking but the stem removal is significantly easier compared to using a knife and cutting every strawberry.

Fixing Tomato Sauce
Tomato sauce that has been sitting in the fridge for a while gets a bit acidic. While it could still be used in a dish, the flavor will be less appealing compared to fresh tomato sauce. Thankfully, it does not have to be thrown away. Peel a carrot and put it in a pan with the sauce. Simmer for a couple of minutes until the sauce is heated all the way through, and take the carrot out before serving. The carrot adds some sweetness which helps tone down the acidity from the tomato sauce.
