Tips for the kitchen
The kitchen is the heart of the home. A lot happens in the kitchen, and by acting responsibly, you can save both money and the environment. Read tips on, for example, preserving food and keeping your kitchen clean.
Freeze bread in slices
Slice the bread and freeze it to avoid food loss from bread. Freeze the bread sliced with baking or greaseproof paper between the slices. This prevents the pieces from sticking to each other and allows you to defrost only the amount of bread you need. You can use, for example, a toaster to defrost the slices.
Get your scorched pans clean
Save the coffee grounds and use them to rub the bottom of a scorched pan. Once the crust has lifted, wash the pan normally. You can also try vinegar and water: boil 2 parts of vinegar and 1 part of water in the pan, add a tablespoon of salt and let the solution stand overnight in the pan – please note that this piece of advice is not suitable for aluminium pots.
Getting your thermos bottles and vases clean
The easiest way to clean thermos bottles, vases and other narrow, hard-to-clean dishes is to mix crushed eggshells to soapy water and to shake them in the dish until it comes clean.
Bags for garbage bags and durable bags for fruit
Collect all bags, such as toilet paper packaging bags and flour bags, and use them as garbage bags. The store's plastic fruit bags can be replaced with self-made sustainable fruit bags. Sew a bag from, for example, old light curtains or other thin fabric or crochet from cotton thread. Take the bag with you to the store and after paying, remove the weighing tag and you can use the bag again. You can find easy and quick instructions for crocheting durable bags online.
