Life Hacks That Actually Work

No More Sweating Over Separating The Yolk

One of the most annoying baking processes is separating the egg yolk from the egg white. It's always so messy, and the risk of dropping the yolk is way too great. The easy fix is using an empty plastic water bottle. Use the suction from the opening to suck the yolk right up! Then, let go when it's safe. This is much less painful.

The More You Know

  • If your toilet bowl could use a cleaning but you're out of traditional cleaner, use mouthwash instead.
  • The next time you host a barbecue or a patio party, pull out a muffin tin. Rather than using it to bake muffins, fill the cups with various condiments and barbecue toppings.
  • Stow bulky items overhead by cementing together a simple rack from 2" PVC pipes and fittings. Bolt the straight pipe to the ceiling joists to support heavy loads, and screw the angled pieces from the 'wye' connectors into the cross brace to stabilize the whole rack.
  • If you have an unsightly deodorant mark on your clothes, don't rub your garment with a standard cloth and risk pilling. Instead, use a pair of pantyhose to gently rub the deodorant mark and watch it disappear with ease.
