Here are 15 tricks for the kitchen that actually work, and some of them might surprise you!
I haven’t tried this little trick just yet, but I love the idea! Your stick of butter has to be pretty much frozen for it to work, and you’ll have to hurry to stop it from melting, but the grated butter is perfect for adding to flour before baking biscuits, scones, muffins, etc.. Grating it also helps it to melt faster, so you can use it for biscuits, baked potatoes, or really anything you love to top with butter. Thanks Listotic for the idea!
2. Scooping up a broken eggshell
Inevitably, every time I use eggs I end up having bits and pieces of egg shell in with the yolks. Its such a simple fix, and I don’t know why I didn’t think of it before. Instead of using your fingers to scoop it out, just grab a half of the eggshell you just cracked and use that to fish it out! Thanks to Healthy Roots Happy Soul for the idea.
3. The Egg Freshness Test
Ever worry if your eggs are still good? Like, they don’t smell rotten, but you can’t be entirely sure? Well here’s a trick to make sure you use good eggs every time. The idea comes from One Jive and I am excited to test it out.

10. Make your own Yogurt pops
Frozen yogurt is my jam, and any time I can make it easier to get into my system is a win for me. One Good Thing by Jillee had this awesome idea to poke popsicle sticks through the tops of yogurts and then freeze them. Amazing.

If you put a paper towel in with your lettuce, it can keep the lettuce good for up to a week longer. The paper towel soaks up the extra moisture that would normally get that lettuce all soggy. Thanks to Made from Pinterest for the idea!
