Milk
Do you like the taste of fresh milk? You can have that fresh taste, even days after you open a carton of milk by adding just a pinch of salt to the milk after opening the container. Adding salt to your milk prevents the bacteria in the milk from growing as quickly and keeps your milk tasting fresher.
Splattered grease
When you are frying foods in the kitchen do you often get splattered by the grease from your fry pan or skillet? Using a little pinch of salt in the fry pan before you start to fry any foods is the answer you have been searching for to keep those grease splatters from getting all over you and from getting all over your stove. The salt that you add to the pan will absorb water in the pan, or in the oil, or from the item that you are cooking, which is why the grease will splatter.
Prevent browning
Do you prepare your meals a little bit in advance of the time you are going to eat? Do your potatoes, pears, or apples turn brown before you get a chance to cook or eat them? You can prevent your potatoes, apples, or pears from turning brown by covering them with cool water and adding a pinch of salt.
Ovens
Cleaning your oven can be a major chore, but when you spill something in the oven, just sprinkle the area with salt when it happens. As the salt soaks up the liquid that spilled over, you can easily dust out the oven when it is cooled and this will save yourself major cleaning time later on.
Washing spinach
Learn to save water and time when you are cleaning spinach. If you wash your spinach with warm salt water you do not have to clean it more than once. The salt gets in all the cracks and crevasses and cleans thoroughly the first time. You can also use this tip with lettuce or broccoli!
Pecans
Do you like to use fresh pecan nuts in your baking but just hate the hassle of shelling pecans? You can soak your pecans in cool saltwater for two or three hours before you shell them and then the nutmeat will fall right out as you shell them!
Icing
Have you made cake or gob icing only to be disappointed with a lumpy or crispy tasting icing? You can prevent lumps and crispy icing by adding just a pinch of salt to your icing when you are mixing.
