Cook moist and tender chicken

To accomplish a tender chicken, mix 1 tsp of cornstarch into your marinade before soaking the meat. The product will help the marinade stick to the chicken, creating a protective layer that prevents dryness.

Homemade ice pack

To keep your food cold outdoors, make your own ice pack by soaking a paper towel with water and placing it in the bottom of a plastic food container (in a size that fits your needs). Freeze the container for at least a half hour, seal your food in a zip plastic bag and place it inside the frozen container. Later you can use the damp towel for cleaning, if you wish.

Vibrant green pesto sauce

For a bright green pesto sauce, just add a handful of parsley to the blender along with the basil. Parsley has more chlorophyll, so it does not darken as fast as basil.

Mascara smudge under the eyes

To remove mascara smears from under your eyes, using the tip of your fingers apply some lip balm (non-menthol, camphor-free etc.) to the area, and then wipe away with a tissue.

Relief for a tender nose

When your nose is red and sore, due to a long period of sniffing, sneezing and blowing, apply some lip balm to the sensitive areas. The moisturizer will create a barrier to keep dryness out.

Flashlight substitute

If you need to see in a dark space and you do not have a flashlight handy, just plug a night light into an extension cord and you will be able to bring glow to any area.

Avoid scratches on delicate furniture

To prevent any marks on furniture, while tightening loose bolts, cut 2 fingertips off a rubber glove and place one on each end of the metal head of the pliers. Fasten the bolt as usual. The rubber will create a barrier, protecting your pieces from scratches.

Cleaning grout lines

To remove mold and water deposits from bathroom grout lines, spray some shaving cream on them after your next hot shower. The steam will loosen the grease and the ingredients in the product will break down dirt and mildew. Wipe away residues with a damp cloth. You can use this method on any color of grout, since the cream does not contain bleach.
