00:00Now here's a trick. Instead of putting the box grater vertically on top of a plate, put it horizontally, with
00:06no plate underneath, of course.
00:08This way, you won't risk scraping your knuckles, because only your fingertips will eventually touch the grater when you reach
00:14the end of the process.
00:15Also, it gives the grater more stability, when otherwise you'd have to balance the grater or even hold it in
00:21the air with the other hand.
00:22When you're done, or when there's just too much grated stuff on the bottom wall of the grater, simply turn
00:28it on its side to pour the contents into the bowl or plate.
00:32Flowers in a vase would stay fresher for longer if not for the bacteria that breed in the water.
00:37Since copper has some antibacterial properties, dropping a penny into the water will help keep the microbes at bay and
00:44let you enjoy your flowers for that little bit longer.
00:47An easy way to check if your bed linen has dried completely is to put a small mirror in between
00:53the layers for about 5 minutes.
00:55If the mirror has steamed up when you pick it up, it means the sheets are still a bit damp.
01:00Let them dry until the mirror stops getting cloudy.
01:03A damp bed is a lovely breeding ground for fungi and bacteria.
01:08Okay, I'm in.
01:09If you have a not-very-healthy habit of eating in front of your computer, you'll be surprised at how
01:16much crumbs and grime there is inside your keyboard.
01:19Now, you can just turn it over and shake it vigorously, of course, but that's not very good for any
01:25piece of tech, you know.
01:26So instead, take a post-it note and run its sticky part over the keyboard.
01:31It will collect the little pieces of trash like magic.
01:34Even a better way to do it, though, is to take a slime and stick it to the keyboard, then
01:40take it away, squeeze it, and stick again in another part.
01:43The slime will fill the entire space between the keys, and its sticky properties will let it gather every little
01:49bit of garbage.
01:51Separating egg yolks from whites is easier using a plastic bottle.
01:55Break the necessary number of eggs into a bowl, and then take an empty plastic bottle and squeeze it.
02:01Hold the bottle over the yolk and release.
02:04It'll pull in air and the yolk together, leaving the white in the bowl.
02:08Repeat with the rest of the yolks, and you're done!
02:11And that's no yolk!
02:13If you're tired of spitting out the stones when eating cherries or want to make a cherry pie, push the
02:19stones out with a straw.
02:21Also, many garlic presses have a special tool on their handle that can be used exactly for that.
02:27Cleaning a blender can be a nuisance if you do it manually.
02:30Instead, fill it with hot water and add some liquid soap or detergent, then run it for about 10 seconds.
02:36Rinse it afterwards, and it's clean.
02:39Plaster walls can crumble, flake, and spread dust all over the floor when you hammer nails into it.
02:45Cut a strip of masking tape and stick it to the place you want to hammer a nail in.
02:49The tape won't let the plaster crack and crumble, leaving the hole neat and clean.
02:55Small scratches and dents on wooden furniture can be removed with some toothpaste or a walnut.
03:01For toothpaste, rub a pea-sized amount of it into the scratch until it's gone, then wipe the leftovers with
03:07a damp cloth.
03:08For a walnut, take a half of that brain-shaped nut and rub it into the dent.
03:14Then rub the area with your fingers and buff it with a soft cloth.
03:18This'll help the wood absorb the oil from the nut, making the scratch sealed and gone.
03:23The sticky residue on jars left after you remove the stickers won't be easily removed by water and detergent.
03:30So, take some vegetable oil instead.
03:32Soak a cotton pad in it and wipe the sticky surface.
03:36Let it sit for a while and then wash the oil away together with the residue.
03:41If you can't comfortably reach the wick of a candle with a lighter,
03:45hey, take a stick of spaghetti.
03:47Light up its end, and you'll get a burning stick that's easy to use for hard-to-reach places.
03:52Now, next time your razor blade's getting dull,
03:55try rubbing it backwards on a pair of jeans for regular upkeep.
03:59Not while you're wearing them, of course.
04:01Make sure you keep the blades dry, too, or even kept in mineral oil.
04:05That'll stop them from rusting.
04:07Keep all those jelly, ketchup, peanut butter, and mayo fresher for longer in your fridge
04:12by turning the contents upside down.
04:15This creates a partial vacuum inside the container, helping prevent mold growth.
04:20Storing ice cream upside down will prevent freezer burn, too.
04:24To bring your permanent marker back to life,
04:27simply put a few drops of rubbing alcohol into the felt material inside and shake.
04:32Once the felt absorbs the rubbing alcohol for a couple of minutes,
04:36the marker will be almost as good as new.
04:39Now, don't keep throwing away lettuce that goes black too quickly.
04:43Covering it with a dry paper towel and then placing it in an airtight container
04:47will help it keep fresher for much longer.
04:50This goes for any leafy greens you've got leftovers of.
04:53That sharpish bit sticking out of the cap of your favorite cream is there for a reason.
04:59These tubes are usually sealed with foil,
05:01so unless you love breaking your nails trying to open them,
05:04just flip the cap over and push.
05:07Your bobby pins might not stay in place if the grooves aren't facing the right way.
05:12They should always be on the bottom, close to your head.
05:15Still coming loose?
05:16Well, put a squeeze of hairspray right onto the bobby pin before you put it in your hair.
05:22Now, your cotton rounds pack has those strings on it,
05:25so you can hang it on a handy hook in the bathroom.
05:27But there's no need to loosen and tighten it back up every time.
05:31Check out the bottom of the pack.
05:33It has a perforated line.
05:35Tear it open carefully, and you're good to go.
05:38Two zips too much?
05:40Maybe.
05:41But they come in handy as a clever anti-theft device.
05:44Just lock them together.
05:46Now, no one can open your backpack.
05:48Don't have a lock on you?
05:50You can also tie them together with some string,
05:52or even just a paper clip.
05:54Anything to slow those pickpockets down.
05:57That tiny little button on the back of a shirt collar
06:00is used to hold your tie in place.
06:02Hey, you don't want your tie trying to escape back there.
06:06Shoe manufacturers care about their customers,
06:08so most running shoes now have a special anti-blister system pre-installed.
06:14Sounds intense, but it's basically just that extra hole on top of your sneakers.
06:19Make a loop with the extra hole, inserting the lace backward.
06:22Cross your laces and put them through the loops.
06:25Now, pull the laces down to lock your foot in place.
06:28Now, run.
06:29Yeah, go ahead.
06:31Car headrests are all about comfort,
06:33and detachable headrests are all about safety.
06:36If you pull the headrest out, you'll see two sturdy metal bars.
06:40If you ever get locked or trapped in your car,
06:43you can use the bars to smash the window and get out.
06:47If you've got some pesky parsley stuck in your teeth, try this tip.
06:51It can be hard to get it out with loose floss.
06:54You need more tension, so just tie it in a knot.
06:58It's not an accident that soy sauce bottles have two spouts.
07:01The sauce is liquid, and it flows out of the bottle pretty easily once you turn it over.
07:06Most Asian food lovers have spilled it at least once in a lifetime.
07:10That's why nowadays, restaurants prefer serving soy sauce in special bottles that have two spouts.
07:16This design allows you to control when and how much sauce will come out.
07:21Just put your finger on one spout when you pour the sauce through another.
07:24If you press your finger tightly to the spout, the sauce will stop flowing,
07:29and if you remove your finger, it'll flow again.
07:32And don't forget to ask your server,
07:34Hey, wasabi!
07:36Alright.
07:37A hair straightener is an excellent tool, not only for treating your natural curls,
07:42but also for fixing crumpled money or documents.
07:45You can also use a regular iron for this purpose.
07:47Just make sure you don't turn on steaming mode.
07:50Otherwise, there's a risk of damaging the paper.
07:53Hair bands are good not only for getting your hair done,
07:56but also to open a glass jar with canned food.
07:59Your hands might slip on the tightly closed lid,
08:02and if you don't open the can from the first attempt,
08:05your palms tend to get sweaty, making the task virtually impossible.
08:09So, put a hair band on the lid to fix your hand and make your grasp stronger.
08:15A simple rubber band will do as well.
08:17Now, it's time to take my sweaty palms and go.
08:20South Korea has a rich culture, but some of their museums are far from being traditional.
08:27They even have a place called Poo-Poo Land.
08:30You got me right.
08:31This museum is all about feces, human gases, and more.
08:35It's three floors of wacky and colorful exhibits that will make your Instagram followers go wild.
08:41The bravest ones can eat out of a fake toilet pot while in this museum.
08:46But the real fun begins when it's time to leave.
08:49You'll have to slide your way out through a dark room that mimics your digestive system.
08:55South Korea houses the blackest building you'll ever see.
08:59The Vantablack Hyundai Pavilion is covered with Vantablack paint, which is like the ninja of all paints.
09:05It's super black and reflects less than 1% of light.
09:09The pavilion was created for the crisp, white backdrop of the 2018 Winter Olympics.
09:15Standing at 33 feet tall and 115 feet long, this building sucks up over 99.96% of light, so
09:25it's as black as a black hole.
09:29South Korea is known for its awesome cafe culture, and their Starbucks outlets are no exception.
09:36Take Starbucks Wave Seoul, for example.
09:38It literally looks like it's floating on water.
09:41This cool spot is located in Seoul Wave Arts Center, a place where you can enjoy art galleries and exhibitions.
09:48If you feel like you've seen this place before, it might be because K-pop stars have filmed music videos
09:54here.
09:56Back in 2011, Tesco, the British chain, set up virtual grocery stores in subway stations and bus stops in Seoul.
10:04It's like shopping in a real store, but on your phone.
10:08Commuters can scan and buy virtual items that will be delivered right to their door.
10:12Imagine walking into a subway station and seeing walls filled with pictures of food and other items you can buy.
10:18You can just scan special QR codes with your Home Plus app, and boom, your groceries are on their way
10:25to your house.
10:26Order by 1 p.m., and you'll have your stuff that same day.
10:31You must have heard about the main star of Korean cuisine.
10:34I'm talking kimchi.
10:37The real question is, where's the element of surprise?
10:40This zesty, tangy, sweet, and sour dish has been around for over 1,500 years, and comes in over 200
10:47different varieties across the country.
10:50You'll never run out of new kimchi dishes to try.
10:53It can be served as a side dish, main dish, snack, appetizer, and if you're feeling daring, even a dessert.
11:01Ever heard of kimchi and banana?
11:03Yeah, that was actually a thing for a while.
11:05By the way, they say kimchi might be perfectly matched with cheese.
11:10Actually, kimchi can be matched with pretty much anything.
11:13They even produced kimchi-flavored chocolate in Korea.
11:18Seoul, the buzzing hub of South Korea, is jam-packed with around 10 million people.
11:24You'll find narrow alleyways and bustling streets at every turn, making personal space a rare commodity.
11:30If you're strolling through the city, expect to dodge pedestrians on the sidewalk, squeeze onto crowded subway trains, and feel
11:38a bit cramped compared to the wide-open spaces in the U.S.
11:42South Koreans are pros at sharing public areas, so don't be surprised if someone bumps into you without apologizing.
11:49It's just part of the hustle and bustle of city life, especially in busier areas.
11:54Just roll with the punches, literally, and enjoy the lively atmosphere of Seoul.
12:00In South Korea, taking off your shoes is kind of a big deal.
12:05Some locals might even get a little miffed if you make a fuss about it.
12:08Most traditional restaurants will require you to kick off your shoes before chowing down.
12:14Make sure to keep an eye out for a shoe shelf.
12:17It's also a good idea to wear easy-on-easy-off shoes like sandals.
12:21And please, for the love of all things holy, check your socks for holes.
12:26Nobody wants to see that.
12:29PDA is not really a thing in South Korea, even in hip cities like Seoul.
12:34You might catch a glimpse of couples holding hands while strolling the streets, but that's usually where the lovey-dovey
12:40stuff ends.
12:42Public displays of affection make South Koreans a bit uncomfortable.
12:46If you're a tourist, keep them at a minimum, even in party zones like Hongdae or Sincheon.
12:54Here's a tip for when you're dining out in South Korea.
12:57Don't wait around for the waitstaff to come to you.
12:59They won't.
13:00Instead, give a shout of Yogi-yo to get their attention.
13:04Yep, it means over here in Korean.
13:07And if you happen to come across a self-service bar, don't be shy about picking up your own water
13:13and utensils.
13:13It's all about DIY in some places.
13:17So get ready to take matters into your own hands.
13:21South Koreans are not afraid to dive deep with their questions.
13:26I mean, people you barely know may ask about your personal life or how much dough you bring in.
13:32So if someone starts getting all up in your personal biz or you feel like they're crossing the line,
13:37just remember, they're probably just curious and looking to connect.
13:41Don't sweat it.
13:42They're not being rude.
13:43Just eager to get the convo going.
13:47In the US, it's totally cool to ask chefs to switch up ingredients for allergies or preferences.
13:54But in South Korea, it's a different story.
13:57Traditional Korean dishes are cooked up with specific ingredients for hours.
14:01So don't expect them to just switch out meat for veggies.
14:05It's not that chefs are being difficult.
14:07It's just that they put a lot of effort into making that perfect dish.
14:11So when you're chowing down in South Korea, make sure you pick something that matches your dietary needs.
14:18In South Korea, toilets are seriously next-level cool.
14:22They've got cozy heated seats.
14:24They actually play a little jam for you while you do your business.
14:27And they've got these handy wands that spray warm water to give you a nice, refreshing clean.
14:33Some of them even have built-in dryers that blow warm air to get you all nice and dry afterwards.
14:41Just like any other country, South Korea has some issues.
14:45They're facing a spy camera problem.
14:48It's still a big issue, despite tough laws.
14:51It seems like spy cameras are way too easy to get a hold of,
14:55with students even using them to film teachers and classmates.
14:58Efforts to regulate them haven't been very successful yet.
15:02But people are pushing for stricter rules and penalties.
15:07Ever been to Italy and witnessed the lively debates that turn out to be
15:11just friendly conversations with a side of dramatic arm gestures?
15:15Well, get ready for a similar revelation in Korea.
15:19Korean conversations are full of deep voices, power-packed expressions, and the occasional shock factor.
15:26That lady at the restaurant who seems like she's about to yell at you?
15:29Don't worry.
15:30She's just super excited to show you the menu.
15:33It may seem a bit overwhelming at first, but trust me,
15:37Koreans are some of the friendliest folks you'll ever meet.
15:40Soak in the melodic flow of their language and let yourself be swept away
15:44by the welcoming vibes of this vibrant culture.
15:49Still, even though the Korean language is expressive,
15:53when you hop on a bus or train in South Korea,
15:56don't be surprised if it's quieter than a library.
15:59Locals are all about their headphones,
16:01jamming out to their favorite tunes instead of chit-chatting.
16:04It's a stark contrast to the West,
16:07where everyone's gabbing away or catching up with loved ones on the phone.
16:12So if you're cruising through Seoul and feel the urge to crank up the volume and start a lively convo,
16:17think again.
16:18Being loud on public transit is a dead giveaway that you're not from around these parts.
16:24While no one will hush you outright,
16:27expect some disapproving glares and whispers from the elderly squad if you take it too far.
16:32Better keep it cool and blend in like a true South Korean, right?
16:37Hey there! Quick question!
16:40What is the capital of Japan?
16:43If you said Tokyo, then you got it right!
16:47Tokyo is one of the most modern and colorful cities in Japan.
16:51But for over a thousand years, Kyoto occupied that place.
16:56Yeah, I know, the names are similar.
16:58But while Tokyo is the futuristic center of Japan,
17:01Kyoto is one of the most traditional and historical cities in Japan.
17:06It's known as Japan's cultural capital.
17:09Let's play a game of spot the difference.
17:11Here are two photos.
17:13The first one is from Tokyo, and the second one is from Kyoto.
17:17Can you tell what is the main difference between both?
17:20Hold that thought for one more second.
17:22Here are two more pictures.
17:24The first one is from Asakusa, a neighborhood in Tokyo.
17:28While the second one is from Kyoto.
17:30What would you say is the main difference here?
17:35Well, you can probably guess where I'm headed.
17:38If you didn't figure it out, I'll spell it out for you.
17:41The main difference is in the colors.
17:43If you've ever had a chance to travel around a bit,
17:46you've probably noticed how cities have certain color themes.
17:50Like Rome is terracotta, and Paris varies in tones of gray and sepia.
17:55Looking at these images, one can see that Tokyo is bright, electric, and looks even a bit chaotic.
18:02And Kyoto is monochromatic, and gives the impression of being calmer and more peaceful.
18:08It's fascinating to see that what causes this distinction between both cities has to do with a certain landscape law.
18:15You see, in 2007, Kyoto passed a new law prohibiting colorful street signs.
18:22The law also wanted to standardize overall constructions to make the city look more homogenous.
18:28Since Kyoto was Japan's capital city for such an extended period of time,
18:33it was built using traditional feng shui architecture and principles.
18:36That's why so many of the buildings have that traditional Asian shape to them,
18:41the one with the curvy ceiling, like you see in the Mulan movie.
18:47Sure, this style is very far from what modern architects are doing today.
18:51If you take a look at Tokyo, you'd see glass skyscrapers rather than these old buildings.
18:57But that's all part of a bigger plan, set in motion by something called the Miyako Landscape Guidelines.
19:03The municipality's main argument to pass the law was that Kyoto was losing its unique landscape due to Japan's modernization.
19:13If Kyoto were to follow in Japan's footsteps and build humongous skyscrapers,
19:19citizens would lose their view of the three mountains that surround the city.
19:23And let's face it, nobody would want that to happen.
19:26Plus, it's nice that you can go to different cities in Japan and notice that they are unique in their
19:32own way.
19:32If the landscape law was to be effective in all of Japan,
19:36we wouldn't get to see architectural marvels such as the Tokyo Sky Tree and the Asahi Flame Building.
19:45Now take a look at the Akihabara district in Tokyo.
19:49It is known as one of Japan's most modern neighborhoods.
19:52It's filled with top-notch technology at every corner.
19:56And yes, it's also filled with signs everywhere.
19:59If we compare it with Kyoto after the passing of the new law,
20:04the first thing that would have to go are the rooftop signs.
20:07Oh, and flashing and moving lights are also illegal there now.
20:12This Kyoto Starbucks also illustrates what I'm talking about.
20:16If you were strolling along the bucolic streets of Kyoto's countryside,
20:20searching for a place to get a cappuccino,
20:23you'd miss this coffee shop completely.
20:25I think we can agree that the traditional Starbucks logo was made to call attention,
20:30with that crowned siren-like creature supported by a very green background.
20:35In other places in Japan, it still looks like this.
20:38But in Kyoto, the brand went above and beyond to respect the new guidelines
20:43and produce this beautiful wooden logo.
20:46And a little plaque that says,
20:48This building has lattes.
20:50Yes, indeed.
20:53There are multiple examples like this.
20:55In Kyoto, the 7-Eleven doesn't have its traditional red, orange, and green stripes.
21:01Its logo was changed to black and white.
21:04You can think that's a doll, but I think we can agree to disagree.
21:08It looks perfect when you look at its surroundings.
21:11Oh, and what about McDonald's, the world's most famous burger franchise?
21:16It kept its yellow logo, but took the red out of the background.
21:20In terms of the color palette allowed,
21:23the law uses the Munsell color system to determine which chroma levels are acceptable.
21:28Usually, the faded version of strong colors, like red, black, green, and so on, are accepted.
21:35Now, imagine if they adopted a Wes Anderson palette.
21:39It would look like a toy city, that's for sure.
21:43At first, vendors and shopkeepers felt disturbed by the new law.
21:47They didn't understand why they had to change their branding for the sake of some aesthetic the city was trying
21:53to preserve.
21:54But with time, they not only came to terms with the new law,
21:58but could already see the benefits of it for their brand success.
22:02You see, this helped turn Kyoto into an even bigger tourist attraction.
22:06Tourists felt like they were traveling in time, sort of.
22:10Some tourists even liked to dress up in traditional kimonos and walk around like geishas.
22:16The municipality also began an award system to compensate the shops and brands that had done their homework well.
22:23Of course, the camouflaged Starbucks won an award back in 2018,
22:28as did Sagawa, a major delivery company in Japan, back in 2012.
22:33It's not only shops that needed to adjust to the new guidelines.
22:37Things such as vending machines and post offices also needed to be toned down.
22:43Again, the idea is to make the city more visually coherent.
22:47And they sure help.
22:51Now, what happens if you don't follow the rules?
22:54Well, the people who chose to ignore the landscape law can spend up to one year in jail or pay
23:00a huge fine.
23:02We can also compare the differences inside Kyoto itself.
23:06Around the city center, the landscape law is less strict.
23:09So you'll find taller buildings and even bigger and more colorful signs.
23:14But as you leave the center and move towards smaller cities in the countryside,
23:19the law is much more strict.
23:21It's especially strict around the UNESCO heritage sites.
23:25In case you're not aware, there are 17 heritage sites in Kyoto.
23:29Yep, that's a lot.
23:30But that's what makes Kyoto so unique.
23:33Now, welcome to the neighborhood of Pantolcho.
23:37This neighborhood is a good example of how the landscape law changed the city's mood over the years.
23:43Pantolcho is a cute alleyway in Kyoto that spans over several blocks.
23:48If you look at this Google Street image from 2009 and this one from 2023, you'll see clear differences.
23:55For starters, the huge sign at the entrance of the alleyway is gone.
24:00And so are the wires hanging from the tops of the shops.
24:03The pavement was redone and the big store signs disappeared.
24:07It's much cleaner.
24:08At night, the alleyway turned into the perfect spot for atmospheric dining,
24:13since its legislation decided to rule over the type of lighting allowed in the neighborhood.
24:19This is what it looks like at nighttime.
24:21Hey, you fancy grabbing some sushi?
24:24Hmm?
24:25I can't help thinking that this landscape law contributed a lot to Japan's minimalist architecture.
24:31Although images like these ones in Tokyo are far from the idea we have of this minimalist aesthetic,
24:39Kyoto falls right into place with it.
24:42How about we take a quick look inside one of these establishments?
24:45The Starbucks we mentioned earlier also invested in turning its interior design local.
24:51It's the first-ever Starbucks where you can drink tea on a tatami floor.
24:56You can sit cross-legged, like many Japanese people do, and enjoy a delicious hot beverage.
25:02I must say I quite like the new Kyoto.
25:05How about you?
25:07So, you're watching your favorite cooking show, when suddenly, the star chef adds a pinch of salt to some jam
25:14that's supposed to go into a dessert.
25:16You pick up the phone to call and complain, but right then the chef explains.
25:21It turns out that adding salt to fruit is a common thing in different cuisines across the world.
25:26Like in Mexico, they like to spice up mango and citrus fruits with salt and chili powder.
25:32You can try mango with a shrimp taste in the Philippines and salted watermelon in the southern states.
25:38So, how does it work?
25:40Well, let's say you're eating a raw mango sprinkled with salt.
25:43With the first bite, you notice the salty flavor, and the sweet, fruity taste is then slightly delayed.
25:50It feels as juicy and amazing as ever.
25:53It's most likely because salt affects the sweet taste receptor for sugar, and then really magic happens on a molecular
26:00level.
26:00One study even found that we have more sugar detectors in our taste cells than scientists previously thought.
26:07One of those detectors must direct sugar to a sweet taste cell when it gets in contact with salt.
26:12You can try and put salt on any fruit you like, but the effect will be different.
26:17Salt can make sweeter fruits like cherries and strawberries even sweeter and balance the flavor of grapefruit, pineapple, and watermelon.
26:24Just take a ripe fruit and slice it the regular way, and sprinkle the pieces with salt.
26:30Large, flaked sea salt might taste more intense, plus it looks more beautiful.
26:35After 10 minutes, your gourmet dessert will be ready.
26:38So, you need to chop up a heap of iceberg lettuce, but that tough core in the middle doesn't want
26:44to leave.
26:44Just hold the lettuce head in both hands with the core end down and slam it against a cutting board
26:51or some other solid surface.
26:52Not your brother.
26:54Now, you should be able to pull the core right out of the bottom and slice the rest of the
26:58lettuce without a problem.
27:00The next time you take butter out of the fridge and struggle to spread it because, you know, it's hard
27:06as a rock, reach for your grater.
27:09With its help, you'll easily flake off tiny pieces of butter that will melt instantly on a warm toast.
27:15You can also spread them much easier on cold bread without putting your sandwich in the microwave or waiting for
27:21a while to soften the butter.
27:22Professional bakers approve of this tip and have been using it for a long time.
27:28When you're frying something, you first heat the pan and then put the food on it, right?
27:32Well, this logic won't work if you want to make your bacon crispy.
27:36On a hot pan, the meat will cook before the fat can melt out of it.
27:40Your bacon will be too fatty and rubbery.
27:43So, you gotta lay the strips on a cold pan and then turn on medium-low heat.
27:48The fat will render out of the meat, and the final result will be super yummy and crispy.
27:54Have you ever tried boiling pasta in a frying pan?
27:57I know it sounds a bit weird, but it can actually help you save a lot of time, water, and
28:03energy.
28:04Instead of filling a huge pot with water and waiting for it to boil, put your pasta in a frying
28:09pan and cover it with cold water and add some salt to it.
28:12Your pasta will be cooking while the water is getting to the boiling point, so it'll be ready much faster
28:18than normal.
28:19And the water that's left in the pan will make an excellent base for a sauce because it's filled with
28:24starch.
28:25Mix it with pesto, tomato sauce, and garlic butter.
28:29Mmm, it tastes like it's straight out of a gourmet restaurant.
28:33Now, the secret to cooking the most delicious and fluffy mashed potatoes is to dry them before you mash them.
28:40After boiling, you can either put them in a pot and leave them over low heat on the stovetop, or
28:45keep them in a baking sheet in a low oven.
28:47Then add melted butter that will coat the starch in the potatoes, and only then slowly add milk.
28:54Now, your mashed potatoes will have the best possible structure and flavor.
28:59If you've shed enough tears over onions when trying to slice them, this one is a must-try for you.
29:05Peel the onions, cut them in half, and leave them in a fridge in a bowl of iced water for
29:11half an hour before you start cooking.
29:13The reason behind your tears is the sulfur that onions take from the soil while growing up.
29:18When you damage its cells, the acids contact the enzymes that start a whole bunch of reactions and release a
29:25chemical that makes your eyes water.
29:27Freezing the onion can weaken that chemical.
29:30To minimize it even more, only use a sharp knife to slice onions.
29:35This way, you'll do less damage to its cells.
29:38It's much easier to peel an avocado if you freeze it first.
29:42Just put it in the fridge as it is, give it some time, and then take it out and hold
29:47it under warm running water.
29:49Now, you can peel it easily after you make a couple of criss-cross incisions.
29:54The best way to keep herbs fresh and juicy is to store them like flowers.
29:59If you don't have the right size vase or vase, take a mason jar or a water glass and fill
30:05it with an inch of water.
30:07Now, put the herbs inside as you would do to your roses.
30:10For parsley and cilantro, cover the jar with a plastic bag and store the bouquet in the fridge.
30:17Basil loves sunlight, so you better leave it uncovered on the counter.
30:22If you've made too much sauce or have some leftovers in a can that doesn't seem to be enough for
30:27anything,
30:28you can save it from the trash can.
30:30Pour the sauce into an ice cube tray and keep it in the freezer.
30:34Now, if you need to spice up a meal, you can always add a couple of sauce cubes to it.
30:39Plus, as a bonus, which is redundant, the sauce will last longer this way than it would in the fridge.
30:46Do your meatballs always turn out to be perfectly the same shape and size?
30:51Then skip this one.
30:52But if you're like me, just use an ice cream scoop to get the right amount of your minced meat
30:57mix.
30:58Try saying that five times.
31:00The balls will be the ideal shape, and your fingers won't get sticky.
31:04The easiest and probably the most beautiful way to slice a mango is to turn it into a hedgehog.
31:11Wash the mango under running water.
31:13Don't squeeze it while doing it.
31:15Now, put it straight up on a cutting board and cut it into three pieces from the top downwards.
31:20Just leave that flat pit in the middle piece.
31:23There isn't much you can do with it anyway.
31:25Now, your mango will have two cute cheeks.
31:28I mean, its fattest parts.
31:30Next, make crosswise and lengthwise cut in the mango cheeks.
31:34Leave some even distance between the incisions and don't go all the way through the skin.
31:39Now, press on the back side of the mango until the flesh pokes out.
31:44Does it look like something to you?
31:46Yep, a hedgehog.
31:47Hence the name of this slicing method.
31:49The final step will be to slice off the mango cubes into a bowl.
31:53Then eat.
31:54Now, this one has all the potential to become your new breakfast favorite.
31:59You can cook an omelet in a mug.
32:01Take a large microwave-safe mug and cook the inside of it with olive oil or spray it with cooking
32:07spray.
32:08Add two eggs and one tablespoon of milk and mix them with a fork.
32:12Now, add salt and pepper and any cheese, veggies, and herbs you like.
32:16Put it in the microwave on high for 30 seconds.
32:20Take it out, stir it with a fork, and then put it back for another 30 seconds.
32:24And voila!
32:26Your breakfast is served.
32:28Oh, be sure to use another mug for your coffee.
32:30Otherwise, you get eggs in your coffee, and nobody has a recipe for that.
32:36So listen, if you don't want your next barbecue party to end up at the emergency room,
32:41you might want to get rid of that wire brush you use to clean the grill.
32:45Over 100 people have to seek medical help because of it every year.
32:49Those brass and steel bristles easily separate from the brush and stick to cooked food that ends up in your
32:55mouth.
32:56With each swallow, they go deeper and deeper.
32:59They can poke into or puncture the lining of your mouth, throat, and esophagus,
33:04or somewhere else down your intestinal tract.
33:06The symptoms this causes could be signs of many different conditions.
33:10And because of their tiny size, the bristles are really tricky for doctors to spot.
33:15So you can lose the precious time to solve the problem at an early stage.
33:19In some cases, one ER visit can solve the problem.
33:23But if the bristle moves into deeper tissues, say, into your neck, chest, or abdomen,
33:29well, it could start an infection.
33:30And you'd need some complex surgery to save your life.
33:34That was the case for a 63-year-old lady in Michigan.
33:38She was eating a hot dog grilled by her husband, and she felt something was wrong from the first bite.
33:43She could barely swallow the food because of an unusually painful sore throat and had to see the doctors for
33:50help.
33:50They sent her home after an inspection, but the symptoms only got worse and worse.
33:55A CT scan several months later showed the problem with some tiny metallic object
34:01that looked like a piece of hair at the back of her throat.
34:04The doctors were able to remove it during surgery.
34:08So, to play it safe, take good care of your wire grill brush and inspect it before putting food on
34:14it.
34:15If you see any loose or dangling wire bristles, get rid of them.
34:19If this sounds like too much work, just toss that brush all together.
34:22There are some safe alternatives to it, like wooden panels, pumice stone, nylon bristle brush, or liquid grill cleaner.
34:30You can also roll a piece of aluminum foil into a ball and use grill tongs to hold it while
34:36you're scrubbing your dirty grill grits.
34:38Cooking pros say an onion cut in half can also do the job.
34:44The caterpillar that arrived at your barbecue party as an uninvited guest might seem cute and harmless,
34:50but not all of them are safe to pick up and play with.
34:53There are several types of venomous caterpillars in the U.S. alone that can give you a hard time.
34:59Any brightly colored caterpillar that has a spine, bristles, or looks fuzzy could be venomous,
35:04and you're better off not touching it.
35:07Many caterpillars are equipped with hairs or spines, which are connected to poisonous glands.
35:13They often hide on the underside of the leaf so you could easily miss it.
35:17So when you're doing some work in the garden, it's a good idea to wear gloves and clothes with long
35:22sleeves.
35:23Your skin will thank you for it.
35:26If you get stung by accident, use any sticky tape to remove the hair or spines,
35:31and then just wash the affected spot with soap and water.
35:36If you plan to go swimming or boating to cool down after the party,
35:40remember that algal blooms aren't just a freaky splash of color in the water, but a real problem.
35:46They are toxic and can cause a lot of trouble for you and your pets.
35:50The symptoms will be less than pleasant,
35:53and will involve you spending a great deal of time in the bathroom.
35:57Algae bloom means there are plenty of bacteria in the water,
36:00so don't swim in it and don't drink the water, no matter how thirsty you are after all the swimming.
36:06And if you happen to get some ingested water on your skin,
36:09take a long shower with clean water immediately.
36:12The media should report cases of dangerous algae blooms in your area,
36:16so make sure to check it before you hit the nearest lake.
36:22Wild parsnip might not appear in your summer nightmares,
36:25but this yellow-flowered plant can do some really mean things to your body.
36:29It contains a substance called solorin,
36:31and when you accidentally touch it and then enjoy a walk in the sun,
36:36the effect it will leave on your skin will be as nasty as the name sororin.
36:40And you could have dark red or brownish discoloration on your skin for months
36:45after your unwanted rendezvous with a plant.
36:48It's mostly active and mischievous between May and July, so watch out!
36:55All right, a garden hose must be completely safe as, unlike the grill brush,
37:01it doesn't have any small metallic parts, right?
37:03Well, when you leave it hanging out in direct sunlight,
37:07the water inside can heat up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
37:11If you spray someone with water this hot, their skin won't love it.
37:15It's especially dangerous for youngsters and pets.
37:18So, if you see someone blissfully unaware, grab the hose,
37:22take it from them by force if needed,
37:24and let the water run for a few moments before you let anyone play with the hose.
37:29It's for their own good.
37:30The intense sun can also heat up all the bad chemicals the hose itself contains,
37:35like lead and thylates.
37:36So, check what yours is made of and replace it with a safer version
37:40that's labeled lead-free or drinking water-safe if you plan to use the water for drinking or playing.
37:46And if you already have a safe version but suddenly smell a terrible odor,
37:51it could be the algae and bacteria that just love stagnant water.
37:55If it comes into contact with your skin or you swallow it by accident,
38:00you could have some serious health problems.
38:02The best you can do is replace the hose.
38:04And yes, make sure you keep it in a cool shaded area and drain it well after every use.
38:12Now, you're never too old to love the trampolines.
38:15But the trampoline might not love you back and give you a spinal injury or broken bones.
38:21Almost 100,000 injuries like this with young users happen every year
38:26because they're so easy to fall from or land in the worst possible way during a somersault or a flip.
38:32The biggest risk of trampoline trouble is when more than one person is using this fun contraption.
38:39Nearly 75% of all accidents with trampolines happen when two jumping youngsters crash into one another.
38:46And no, some netting or padding really can't save the day.
38:50If you want to keep things safe, make sure there's always only one person at a time on the trampoline.
38:56You're going to need to install shock-absorbing pads that completely cover the trampoline's metal frame, springs, and hooks.
39:03If you see any signs of the padding getting too old, like tears and fraying, you need to replace it
39:09immediately.
39:10Make sure the trampoline stands on level ground and isn't too close to other structures and trees.
39:18A slide in your backyard, no matter if it's made of metal or plastic,
39:23can turn into a frying pan under the sun and can heat up to 189 degrees Fahrenheit.
39:29So, before you jump on it or let someone else do it, check the temperature of the whole thing top
39:35to bottom.
39:35And even when your little sister or someone else you love is begging you to go on a ride with
39:40them, don't do it.
39:42The slide is designed for one person of a certain size.
39:45When the two of you end up tandem sliding, the smaller leg can get caught up between the bigger leg
39:51and the edge of the slide.
39:52The speed will also increase, and it can lead to all sorts of drama.
39:58Finally, no matter how tempting it feels in the hot months,
40:02don't walk barefoot on that beautiful lawn in the park or even in your own garden.
40:06You never know what's hiding in the grass, and if you step on something sharp,
40:11like a rusty nail hiding in the grass, you'll get yourself into a lot of trouble.
40:16Flip-flops aren't the best idea for everyday summer shoes either.
40:20They rarely come with arch support and can make you take shorter steps and put more stress on your body.
40:25It's just not good for your feet, joints, and muscles.
40:29Otherwise, have a great summer!
40:37Now, doctors recommend risking your life at least twice a day.
40:41I mean, brushing your teeth at least twice a day.
40:43But you see, the seemingly harmless toothpaste that peacefully chills on every American counter
40:49poses a life-threatening danger because of one not-so-harmless ingredient, sodium fluoride.
40:56Now, don't get me wrong, not every toothpaste out there contains it, but most of them still do.
41:01But don't rush to the bathroom to trash your tube.
41:04If you swallow a tiny pea-sized glob, it isn't fatal.
41:08I'm talking about larger quantities.
41:10A toothpaste tube has only 0.15% fluoride.
41:14To send you running to the hills, you must consume around 8 tubes one by one.
41:19So, technically, toothpaste is totally safe.
41:23Let's go and look for more dangers at your place, shall we?
41:27Personally, I don't have this one.
41:29But if you happen to have a CFL light bulb, you gotta be extremely cautious with it.
41:33The thing is, many of those bulbs are made with mercury.
41:36If such a bulb breaks, you gotta start by turning off your ventilation system.
41:41Otherwise, the contamination will only get worse.
41:44Make sure everyone has left the room, then open a window to allow for fresh air circulation.
41:49Finally, clean the area where the bulb's shattered.
41:52Be careful to address both wet and dry surfaces and contact specialists.
41:57Mercury vapors are definitely the biggest concern when it comes to this element.
42:01Take, for instance, a case of 2008, where a 55-year-old guy in Oklahoma tried to extract gold from
42:08old electronics using liquid mercury.
42:10Unfortunately, he inhaled too much vapor and sadly passed away just 10 days later.
42:15The contamination was so severe that they had to completely gut his house.
42:22Now, you definitely don't want your favorite clothes to get ruined by moths.
42:26So, you might grab some mothballs to exterminate them.
42:29But watch out!
42:31Those mothballs can exterminate you, too.
42:34They usually contain chemicals like naphthalene or a paradichlorobenzene.
42:39When these get into the air, they turn into gas.
42:41That strong smell you associate with mothballs kicks in.
42:45Those fumes can actually irritate your eyes and lungs and may even cause headaches, dizziness, and nausea.
42:51Plus, there are concerns about these chemicals being the cause of major conditions that even modern medicine can cure.
42:58Naphthalene is especially risky because it can break down your red blood cells, leading to a condition called hemolytic anemia.
43:06So, try to swap those balls for good old lavender.
43:09Moths aren't big fans of it.
43:12Now, it's super important to keep an eye on the plant you bring into your home, because some can be
43:16surprisingly harmful.
43:18Take Diefenbachia, commonly known as dumb cane, for example.
43:23Rumor has it that its sap can cause your tongue to swell up so much that it can block your
43:27airway.
43:28But can it really?
43:30Yes and no.
43:31It's true that this plant contains poisonous, tiny needle-like crystals called rapides.
43:36But they require someone to actually chew on a leaf first before any fuss happens.
43:41Otherwise, you might just feel a brief burning sensation or observe some skin redness.
43:47In rare cases, you might see some swelling in the area that touched the plant.
43:51Generally, just a little nibble leads to mild discomfort.
43:55So, please, don't snack on your potted plants.
43:57This warning is more for the safety of your pets, especially cats.
44:02Now, if Diefenbachia stays in contact with the mouth for too long,
44:06it can cause some serious pain that might linger for days or even weeks.
44:10In those cases, a trip to the hospital might be necessary,
44:14especially if the throat gets affected, as that could impact breathing.
44:18But don't believe the hype that Diefenbachia is a lethal poison.
44:21That's just an urban legend.
44:23The bottom line? One must be really dumb to get poisoned by a dumb cane.
44:29Now, using a power washer can be more dangerous than you might think.
44:33The intense pressure can lead to serious injuries,
44:36and the high-speed spray can kick up debris that might cause even more harm.
44:41If you do get injured, infections can set in quickly.
44:44And without timely medical care, things can get really serious.
44:47Think severe complications, potential limb loss, or even worse.
44:51But honestly, it's not that scary.
44:54Just don't overdo it with pressure.
44:58Here's a friendly tip.
44:59Don't skip out on your weekly house cleaning,
45:01especially when it comes to the bathroom.
45:04The longer you put off cleaning it, the more risky it becomes.
45:07Bathrooms are notorious hotspots for bacteria,
45:10which makes regular cleaning essential.
45:12You definitely don't want those unwelcome guests like norovirus, E. coli, salmonella,
45:19or even Staphylococcus aureus hanging around, along with those molds and mildews.
45:24Just put things into perspective.
45:26An average toilet seat can host over 200,000 colony-forming bacteria.
45:31And here's another thing to keep in mind.
45:33If you're not careful while cleaning, you can accidentally create a dangerous situation.
45:38Mixing bleach and ammonia can release a toxic gas called fluoramine.
45:43Those fumes can lead to some pretty nasty symptoms,
45:46from shortness of breath to fluid in your lungs.
45:49Guess what?
45:50If it happens, you will probably kick the bucket.
45:53And I'm not talking about the one you use for cleaning the floors in the bathroom.
45:59On a sweltering summer day, having air conditioning is definitely a blessing.
46:03But don't let that trick you into thinking there aren't risks involved.
46:07If your AC is on the older side, it can lead to various issues.
46:11For example, the ductwork and filters can trap harmful mold, bacteria, and allergens.
46:17If those aren't addressed, folks in your home might end up dealing with coughing,
46:21wheezing, or a stuffy nose.
46:23Plus, an aging AC unit can pose a fire risk.
46:27Older components tend to generate more heat as they try to keep up.
46:31And if they're not replaced, you could end up with a potential fire hazard.
46:35Faulty wiring is another concern, as many wires are tucked away in hard-to-reach spots,
46:40making them tough to inspect.
46:42So, if you have an older AC, it's a smart move to have it cleaned properly
46:47and ensure that its parts and wiring are up-to-date to avoid any fire risks.
46:54Snuggling under a cozy electric blanket when the weather turns chilly sounds like a dream.
46:59But if electric blankets get too hot, they might lead to burns.
47:03This risk is particularly significant with older models that don't have an automatic shut-off feature.
47:09So, the best way to use such a blanket is to warm up your bed and then turn it off
47:14before you crawl in.
47:15There's also the concern of heat stroke, linked to the use of an electric blanket.
47:20Once, two people were discovered unresponsive in their beds beneath electric blankets.
47:24The first person's body temperature reached an alarming 106.2 degrees Fahrenheit,
47:30while the second person's temperature was 105.8 degrees Fahrenheit.
47:35So, while these blankets offer comfort, it's crucial to use them wisely.
47:41Just a quick heads-up about windshield washer fluid.
47:44It contains methanol, which can really pack a punch.
47:47If ingested, it can cause everything from dizziness and headaches to severe poisoning.
47:53Make sure to store it safely and keep it in the original container.
47:56Never transfer it to unmarked bottles.
47:59It can easily be confused with water and other harmless liquids, and that's a big no-no.
48:04Methanol is super toxic.
48:06For a grown-up, 2 to 8 ounces can do the trick.
48:09You know what I mean.
48:10The windshield washer fluid you dump into your car usually has about 30 to 50% methanol in it.
48:16But the concentrated versions?
48:18They can pack a serious punch with 90 to 100% methanol.
48:23Just remember, these products need to be diluted with water before you use them.
48:28The last everyday thing on our list does seem to be a great buddy of ours,
48:32especially if located in the bathroom.
48:35But although air fresheners can give your home a pleasant scent,
48:38many of them release volatile organic compounds that can build up over time
48:43and may pose serious health risks, including neurological issues and incurable conditions.
48:49I suggest, if you were to ask me, you play it safe and think about opting for natural alternatives
48:55or enhancing your home's ventilation instead.
48:58Got that?
48:58Good.
49:01You see these blades?
49:02They have notched corners to make your cutting experience smoother.
49:06Ooh.
49:07The front edge notch helps with separating blades during manufacturing,
49:11while the trailing edge notch helps the blade glide easily.
49:15And a fun fact!
49:16That notch on the front also helps you spot unused sections of the blade.
49:21Just a little visual indicator to make your life easier.
49:24When it comes to silver versus black blades, they're both made from the same stuff.
49:29But black blades are sharper and are better suited for cutting through tough materials,
49:34while silver blades strike a balance between cutting power and durability.
49:39If you want that extra cutting oomph, go for black.
49:42Oh, almost forgot.
49:44The only thing those blades aren't meant to cut is food.
49:47It has a rust-proofing oil coating, which is not safe for humans.
49:53Check this one out.
49:54It's totally giving me childhood vibes.
49:56Now, I remember my grandma having tomato-shaped pin cushions just like this.
50:01And sometimes they would look more like a salad, with a little pepper thrown in there.
50:06Well, believe it or not, this salad actually has a purpose.
50:10The tomato keeps your pins in place, while the pepper keeps them sharp.
50:14Those peppers are filled with sand, which helps keep your pins nice and sharp.
50:19And it's not just sand.
50:21Crushed walnuts can also be used to keep your pins in tip-top shape.
50:26Now, look at this multiple pocket tool and this little hook on it.
50:30It's a bit of a mystery, but it's actually pretty handy.
50:33I counted at least four different applications.
50:37One, you can use it to carry all sorts of awkward stuff, like camping gear or heavy parcels.
50:43Two, need to twist some wire or play around with knots?
50:46The parcel hook has got you covered.
50:48Three, this hook can save the day with those stubborn zippers, like the ones on your luggage.
50:55Four, it's great for pretending to be a budget version of Captain Hook.
50:59If you know more applications, let me know in the comments.
51:03Apple users, with this feature, you'll never get laundry surprises again.
51:08Now, I bet you've had this situation at least once in your life.
51:12You wash your stuff, and when you take it out of the washing machine, the size seems to only fit
51:18your cat.
51:18Your iPhone camera can actually translate those funky laundry symbols for you.
51:23There are two requirements, though.
51:25You must have iOS 17, and your phone must be in English.
51:29Take a photo of the care label, go to the Photos app, and see the details of the image.
51:34Everything will be automatically decoded and explained to you.
51:40Many toasters come with nifty, removable crumb trays at the bottom.
51:44It's super important to give these trays a good clean every now and then to keep your toaster running smoothly
51:50and avoid any potential fire hazards.
51:53Just pop them out, shake out the crumbs, and you're good to go.
51:56Where you shake them out is up to you.
51:59Those little compartments on your gas pump aren't just for show.
52:02They're actually there to hold your cap while you're filling up.
52:05This nifty feature keeps things tidy and prevents any spills or drips on the handle.
52:11So, say goodbye to messy refueling experiences and hello to a cleaner pump.
52:16Plus, it makes the whole process way more convenient and efficient.
52:21Now, I'll bet your oven gets so greasy and dirty sometimes that you can even hear it oink.
52:27Yeah, just kidding.
52:28I know you're a tidy person.
52:30Anyway, if you're looking for a way to bring your kitchen cleaning to a whole new level, here's a tip
52:36for you.
52:37Most oven doors have handy latches that let you pop the door off for easy cleaning, saving your poor back
52:44from the strain.
52:45When you're draining noodles or potatoes, there's no need to bother transferring everything to a colander in the sink.
52:52Just throw the colander right into the pot, hold it down, and pour the liquid out.
52:57It makes life so much easier, especially when you want to save that starchy water for recipes.
53:03It's a must for authentic pasta, by the way.
53:08So, let's say you've snagged this gem at a thrift store a while back for just under a dollar.
53:13It's seen better days, serving as an ashtray, but you decide it's time to give it a new lease on
53:19life.
53:20Here's the lowdown on how to make it shine again.
53:23Mix up a solution of boiling water, baking soda, and table salt in a bowl lined with aluminum foil.
53:30Let the piece soak for about 15 minutes, and repeat this process three times.
53:36In between soaks, gently scrub any rough spots with a microfiber cloth.
53:41After the final soak, dry the piece off and rub on some toothpaste, baking soda, and peroxide.
53:47Buff out any remaining tarnish with a clean, dry microfiber cloth.
53:52Rinse it off, and now your piece is practically gleaming like a mirror.
53:58These aluminum foil boxes have nifty little tabs on the sides that make it super easy to grab a sheet
54:04without any hassle.
54:05It's like a fancy little bonus that makes the product a breeze and ensures you'll have a smooth sailing experience
54:12every time.
54:14Manual can openers often come with a handy built-in feature, also known as a bottle opener.
54:20It's like getting two tools in one.
54:22But did you know that this bottle opener actually has another useful function?
54:27It can help you loosen those stubborn, hard-to-open jars.
54:31Simply lift the lid slightly at a couple of points with the bottle opener,
54:35and then watch it as it effortlessly twists right off.
54:39Yeah!
54:42Okay, I just found that, apparently, you're supposed to save the first and last slices of a loaf of sliced
54:48bread for last.
54:49It's like a bread hack or something.
54:51Apparently, those end pieces help keep the rest of the bread fresher for longer,
54:55and you shouldn't eat them until you've devoured the rest of the loaf.
54:59So, next time you're making a sandwich, save those heel slices for the very end.
55:04Even bread eating needs a good strategy.
55:07Now look at those blue levers on the top rack of your dishwasher.
55:11I was curious about them too.
55:12And it turns out they are actually water bottle sprayers.
55:16They help to ensure that your bottles get a thorough cleaning and rinse during the wash cycle.
55:23Many vegetable peelers have those little scoops on top for taking out the eyes from potatoes.
55:28And here's a cool tip.
55:30You can actually use vegetable peelers in both directions to peel faster.
55:34But most people just stick to one direction.
55:39When using yellow mustard, make sure to push the lid of the bottle all the way open until you hear
55:44a satisfying click.
55:46This way, the lid will stay securely in place and won't get in the way when you're dispensing the mustard
55:51onto your food.
55:52It's a simple step that can make your condiment experience hassle-free and enjoyable.
55:58So there!
56:00You know that little hole at the end of your pot or pan?
56:03Well, it's not just for show.
56:05You can actually use it as a handy holder for your forks and spoons.
56:09Next time you're cooking up a storm in the kitchen,
56:12just pop your utensils in that convenient little hole and keep them close at hand.
56:18Okay, just a heads up to remember to switch the direction of your ceiling fan for the changing weather.
56:24And to give it a good clean too.
56:26I've seen that a lot of folks found it helpful before to reverse the fan's direction by flipping a switch
56:33for different seasons.
56:34So this is just a friendly reminder to go ahead and do it again,
56:38pushing hot air down and pulling cold air up.
56:43When you're chowing down for some pizza,
56:46just tear off the top of the box and use it as a big old plate.
56:49You can even rip the box in half and fold it to save some leftovers for later.
56:54Well, that's it for today.
56:56What, you want to know more cool facts?
56:59Sure, but you'll have to subscribe and hit the bell to get more videos.
