Fast food: 7 culinary life hacking
A video walks on Facebook, in which neat guys clean garlic and pomegranate for a few seconds (we believe that their popularity is due not only to the gastronomic component). We decided to find out whether it is really possible to tap all the seeds from the pomegranate with a spoon and clean the garlic head with large bowls, and at the same time we demonstrated a couple more culinary life hacks.
Peel the pomegranate
Incise the fruit around the perimeter, hands break it in half. One half of the open, put the side with the seeds on the palm and begin vigorously knocking on a grenade with a wooden spoon until all the seeds fall out. Takes it true seconds 10.
Peel Almond Skin
Nuts (roasted, raw - it does not matter) soak in boiling water for 10 minutes, drain the water. Pour with cold water and then boiling water again for the same 10 minutes. Dip the nuts with a towel, and then squeeze each bit a bit - the kernels themselves will pop out of the skins. Warning: with hazelnuts such a focus will not work.
Ice Cream Sandwich
So that during the preparation of such a sandwich not get smeared with ice cream, you just need to cut it with a knife directly from the packaging. Put a slice on the biscuit, remove the wrapper ring, cover with other biscuits.
Peel the garlic
In this way you can peel only a whole head of garlic, and dry. It is necessary to divide the garlic into slices (a sharp blow of the palm or whatever you like), put them in a bowl, cover the other with the same and shake for 10 seconds. The roar will be decent, but all the teeth will jump out of the husk.
Remove the stalk from the strawberry
If there is no special device for removing the "tails", you can get by with a cocktail tube. True, it is necessary to take aim in order to please the fruit of the opposite end of the berry.
Separate the yolk from the protein
If it is impossible to make it a habitual transfusion of eggs from one half of the shell to the other, an empty plastic bottle is useful. You need to bring the neck to the yolk and click on the bottle - the yolk is sucked inside, and it can be transferred and squeezed into a separate bowl.
Squeeze more juice out of citrus
Much depends on the fruit itself, but this method makes it easier to get the juice from any citrus (if you plan to do it by hand). The fruit should be with an effort to roll on the table with a palm or a knife, and then cut and squeeze.
