Let’s admit it! Life hacks can sometimes be very useful and save you much time and money. They are most of the time based on one’s creativity and ability to tweak little things in daily life to make life easier and much more convenient. Above all, they are quick and easy to do, which is really amazing!
Luckily, there are many life hacks online that can help you fix many issues in your everyday life but unfortunately, these hacks might not always be as effective as they might seem! And if you have already experienced real frustration and disappointment after being very excited to try a life hack, then, know well that you are not the only! We have all been there somehow!
Using Stainless Steel To Get Rid Of Smells
This is a very popular lifehack that has fooled many people for years! It is useless and not effective at all. So, next time you see a tutorial on youtube or very simply if a shop owner tries to convince you to buy those expensive pieces of stainless steel and wipe your hands with them in order to get rid of the ugly smells of garlic and onions.
You know well what you should do. Instead, you can rub your hands with other effective food items such as lemon or vinegar with salt.
Use A Water Bottle To Separate Eggs
The chances that you have seen this video while surfing the net are very high and that’s because the video went viral! When you first watch the video, you think that this hack is a piece of cake and that you can easily do the same but guess what? This is not true because we have tried it and eggs went everywhere.
It was a total mess! Therefore, you’d better stick to the old traditional way when we used to simply pour the egg from its shell until it’s divided.
Use A Straw To Stem A Strawberry!
Many videos made people think that sticking a straw through a strawberry to remove its stem is a super easy and a clean way to stem a strawberry but the truth is it’s not!
After a small experience, the straw tend to be hard to get through the fruit and doing so requires quite a good amount of time. Instead, save yourself the struggle and use a paring knife to cut the stem out by making a v-shape.
Using The Ketchup Bottle To Make Pancake Shapes
If you are always trying to learn how you can make your life much easier and convenient, then, surely you have used this lifehack before and you know well how effective or ineffective it is!
As for those who didn’t and are excited about giving a try, you might need to know that this hack might not be as effective as it seems. Cleaning out the ketchup bottle is neither quick nor easy.
Avoid frustration and disappointment by opting for a cookie cutter that has an open top. Place the cutter on the griddle and then pour the batter into the shape. When the pancake is ready to flip, remove the cutter! As simple as this!
