Life Hacks That Actually Work

Sharpen Your Knives

Having a sharp knife is ideal in the kitchen. You don't want to ruin the perfect cut just because you have a dull knife! If you don't have a knife sharpener handy, a ceramic plate will definitely do the trick. Just the bottom-raised part and give the knife a few good scrapes. It'll be as good as new!

  • If you forget to bring that butter up to room temp in advance, it’s OK. You can soften butter quickly. The easiest way is to cut butter into cubes and let it sit on the counter for about 20 minutes.
