9 Kitchen Tips To
Help Your
Kitchen Run Like
A Restaurant

Eliminate Tupperware smell by packing them with
newspaper
No one's really sure why, but crumpling up
newspaper and stacking it into smelly Tupperware
overnight has been known to finally get rid of the
odor. Just make sure to thoroughly wash your
containers after the fact, as newspapers aren't exactly
clean.
Prevent bubbling over with a wooden spoon
If any of your pots are boiling over,
quickly place a wooden spoon across the
rim—that'll settle the frothy bubbles and
prevent more over-boiling.
Use rubbing alcohol to clean stainless steel
Put some on a few cotton balls and
have at it!
Run your potatoes through the dishwasher
Seriously, it's a foolproof way of
cleaning your dirty vegetables when
hand-washing won't suffice. Make
sure there's no soap in the machine,
of course, but a simple rinsing cycle
will do the trick.
Heat a dish towel in the microwave to get rid of rish
smell
Trust us: If you put some dish soap on
your dish rag, heat the rag itself for a few
minutes, leave the rag in the microwave
for about half an hour, return to the rag,
and wipe the walls of the microwave
down, you will be free of that fishy
microwave smell that's been plaguing you
since, well, the last time you microwaved
fish.
File your cookie sheets
You can use an actual filing system to hold
your baking sheets upright and in an orderly
fashion. It might not look very cute, but it'll
make your life infinitely easier than having to
climb to the top of your highest cabinet to get
to them.
Polish your copper with ketchup
Dab some ketchup on a cloth and
rub it all over your copper. Rinse it
in warm water and voilĂ : good as
new.
Microwave your sponge
For just a few seconds when it's
(seemingly) irreparably gross.
Use cooking spray to make less of a mess
When measuring out super sticky ingredients
coat your measuring cup with a butter or oil
cooking spray first. It ensures the sticky
substance will slide right out and prevent
you from having to scrub at your cups
forever afterward.
