Slicing Soft Foods
One unexpected tool that you should have in your kitchen is dental floss. It will save you a lot of time and is quite useful in slicing soft foods. It makes the process easier and produces a nice clean line. You can use dental floss in cutting dough, cheese, and even watermelon, and many bakers use this trick to cut cakes into layers. Just make sure you get non-flavored floss so you won’t accidentally add some minty flavor to the food you are slicing.

Saving Salty Soup
There are times when we get a bit overzealous with the salt when making soup. Over-salting food while cooking can be frustrating, but one hack can help you rescue that pot of soup. This perfect tip for correcting salty flavors is courtesy of Taste of Home. One contributor wrote, “Toss in a few wedges of raw apple or potato. Simmer for 10 minutes and discard the wedges to get the flavor back to normal.” This solution is simple but can save you money and time in the kitchen.
