Easy Potato Peeling Hack

Peeling potatoes can be quick and simple and Dave Hax shows us how in this short step-by-step YouTube video. All you need is a knife, potatoes and pot for boiling. Clean potatoes before you boil them. Then follow the simple instructions in this Dave Hax YouTube video. Medium sized potatoes should take 15 to 30 minutes to cook, depending on your elevation. For roasted potatoes, chips or french fries, Dave suggests parboiling instead of boiling, then peel as instructed in video. Finally, finish preparing potatoes according to your recipe.

Plastic Bottle Top Funnel Hack

In this Chowhound YouTube video, Jill Santopietro shows us an easy way to make a funnel. Plastic bottles come in many different sizes with different size openings. Choose one that will work for the type of transfer you want to make, i.e. 32 oz Gatorade bottles work great for transferring grains like flour or oatmeal, whereas a 12 oz. water bottle top works great for liquids such as juice, wine or water. I absolutely love this plastic bottle top funnel hack!

How to Open a Jar That Won’t Open – Duct Tape Style

This hack doesn’t require a whole lot of explanation. Make sure your jar lid is dry, get about a foot of duct tape, stick one end firmly to the left edge of the jar (with the loose end of the tape coming towards you). Then just get a firm grip on the jar with one hand and pull smoothly on the tape with the other. That’s it, you’re ready to spread your marmalade or whatever you’re trying to get at. Enjoy!
