00:00Kitchen hacks every older American should know,
00:02grinding coffee beans by hand is one of the dumbest ways to waste a good morning.
00:06Slip a zip-top bag over a handheld blender,
00:08pour the coffee beans inside, seal it up, and blend away.
00:11You'll get a finer grind without wasting all that time cranking by hand.
00:15Your teapot isn't just for tea.
00:17You can use it to separate an egg yolk.
00:18Crack the egg into the pot, tilt it forward,
00:21and the egg white runs right out of the spout while the yolk stays behind.
00:24Still prepping vegetables the old-fashioned way?
00:26Use a rubber band to attach a spoon to your vegetable peeler.
00:30It creates a perfect gap, giving you evenly spaced slices every time.
00:33Canned meat stuck inside the can and won't come out?
00:36Set the can upside down on a warm stovetop for a few seconds.
00:40Once the fat loosens up, that mystery meat should slide right out.
00:43The leafy top pops right off,
00:45pouring out boiling pasta water and nearly cooking your hands.
00:48Slide a bamboo skewer through the pot lid handle and the pot handle.
00:51Tilt it over and the water drains out while the pasta stays safely in the pot.
00:55Stop wasting time.
00:56Picking strawberry tops off with your fingers.
00:58Stick a fork straight through the bottom and push upward in one smooth motion.
01:02Cutting an onion got you crying like you just checked your retirement account?
01:06Grab two cheap plastic cups and tape them onto an old pair of glasses.
01:09Boom, your own DIY safety goggles.
01:11They look ridiculous, but at least your eyes won't burn.
