Have leftover coffee from the morning? Use it to make coffee ice cubes, which will cool down your coffee without diluting it.

116

Run your bacon under cold water before cooking it. Doing so will reduce shrinkage by up to 50%.

117

If your water starts foaming over the pot when you’re boiling it, pour in a couple tablespoons of olive oil. It’ll stop overflowing almost instantly.

118

Poke a fork through the creamy part of an Oreo, so that you can dip the whole Oreo in milk without getting your fingers wet.

119

When making tacos, put the cheese on first. It will melt and form a protective layer that keeps the taco shell from breaking apart.

120

Any citrus fruit like an orange, clementine, or grapefruit becomes easier to peel when you gently press and roll it on the table before peeling.

121

Put pancake mix in an empty ketchup bottle for a clean, no-mess experience.

122

An old CD spindle makes for the perfect bagel holder. They are great for packing lunches.

123

If you peel a banana from the bottom, you won’t have to pick the little “stringy things” off of it.

124

When making hard-boiled eggs, throw one teaspoon of baking soda into the water. The shell will come off without a problem once the egg is cooked.

125

Insert a drinking straw into a ketchup bottle to make it flow out faster.

126

Wrap a soft tortilla around a crunchy one. It’ll hold everything much better and you can put beans and cheese between them for the ultimate taco experience.
