Dressing cherry tomatoes

For cherry tomatoes to absorb flavors of a salad dressing, just pierce each one with a fork before adding them to the salad. Dress the dish as usual and let tomatoes drink up sauces before serving it.

Oil splatters in the kitchen

To prevent oil from splashing over your stove top, while grilling or frying food, just place a large metal colander (upside down) over the frying pan. It will trap oil and its small holes will allow the heat to escape. Make sure you use an oven mitt when removing it from the pan.

Organizing the fridge

When you have too many casseroles to store in the refrigerator and you cannot stack them on top of each other, try this trick. Place a couple wooden skewers or chopsticks across the top of each foil-covered dish and you will be able to easily pile them up.

Cleaning the BBQ grill

Place a large sheet of aluminum foil over the grill while the coals are still red-hot. The foil will reduce food particles to a fine ash. Later, ball up the foil and use it to scrub away any burnt-on residues.

Noisy door

To silence a squeaky hinge, spray a small amount of shaving cream onto a toothbrush and rub into the hinge’s cracks and gaps. The ingredients in the cream will lubricate the metal and stop the noise.
