    A hack I'd like to share:
    If you have a very burnt pan and using the water on the stove doesn't help, try adding a dryer sheet to it. Just set up, set overnight and item will be 100% easy to just rinse away.

    You can make castor sugar (for those using uk/aus recipes) the same way minus the corn starch and brown sugar by stirring molasses into regular white sugar

    Definitely going to remember the powdered sugar one. Improvised an angel food cake once by adding extra sugar. Angel brick cake happened.

    Also butter trick is handy.

    Great hacks! I'll share how I cook corn on the cob. I always shuck first. Then, I wrap each ear of corn with a paper towel the with a sheet of wax paper. Twist the ends of the wax paper, in effect creating an "en pappiote" pouch. If the corn is fresh, it can be done in as short as 1-1:30 minutes (add time for many cobs at once). The older themcorn is, the longer it takes to cook. Be sure to unwrap CAREFULLY as steam will be pouring out as you open.

    Great tips!! I will try the soaked PT hack.
    The best for me is next to a low flame on the stove. But I have an alternative for when I'm not cooking anything. Don't like wasting the gas…
    Thank you!!! 🌺

    here is another kitchen hack — and I promise this is the only one left I know ….lol
    it involves used cooking oil …
    I try not to reuse used oil that's been used to fry fish – but hey — it's my choice …
    (instruction are long but the steps are easy) …

    o'k — here goes …
    1) after deep frying — allow the oil to coll down to at least room temperature …
    2) measure into a pot a 1/2 cup of water for every quart of oil (not yet) – sprinkle one teaspoon of powder gelatin (unflavored) per half cup of water and let the gelatin hydrate for a few minutes … on towards the stove …
    3) bring the pot water to a simmer – stirring until the gelatin is dissolves … stir vigorously and constantly then pour the gelatin / water mixture into a separate container (I use clean gal milk container — I also use it to see how much used oil I have — my liquid measuring tool) … it should look cloudy and homogeneous at this stage .. now transfer this to a separate (milk) container or whatever you choose — to cool down the mixture and place it in the refrigerator over night (at least 24 hrs) …
    4) the next day — pour the oil from the top of the pot (or whatever your container is) into a clean pot (or clean milk container) …discard the disc gelatin that remains at the bottom and now you have a clean container of oil to use again …
    (whew — I'm out of breathe) …

    PS — I still look at every instant pot videos here … I'm learning how to use my instant pot …

    🙂
