Kitchen/cooking tips:

=>When making scrambled eggs add some milk to the mixture. The eggs will end up softer and fluffier.

=>To keep salt from clumping together add some uncooked rice to it.

=> Putting 3-4 cloves in the sugar container will keep the ants at bay.

=>Apply mashed banana over a burnt skin on your body to have a cooling effect.

=> Garlic skin comes off easily if the garlic cloves are slightly warmed before peeling.

=> Grind some common salt in your mixer for some time every month. This will keep your mixer blades sharp
