These hacks are amazing and I use them all now on a weekly basis! This first one is one that has been around for awhile but it bears repeating because not everyone has heard of it.

Grate frozen butter with a grater.

If you like spreading butter on toast, try grating it frozen in advance — it will easily spread on bread this way.

Batter will rise faster in a microwave.

If your batter rises too slowly for your liking, put a cup full of water into the microwave and turn it on high power until the water boils. Then place the covered batter into the microwave with the hot water still there and close it. The warm steamy air will make your batter rise faster.

Make a perfect poached egg in a bag.

Spread some butter over the inside of a small plastic bag, and break an egg in there. Tie up the bag with a rubber band as close to the egg as possible to keep its shape. Put the egg into boiling water for 3 minutes.

A banana filled with chocolate — delicious and healthy.

If you like sweets and bananas, this will definitely be your favorite treat. Take a banana, some chocolate spread, a straw, and a syringe. Stick the straw into the center of the banana, draw the spread with the syringe, and push it into the straw. Place your banana into the fridge for an hour, and your delicacy is ready

Meat rack out of tinfoil.

Make your own roasting rack by rolling up some pieces of tinfoil and placing them into the bottom of the roaster. The meat won’t be overcooked this way.

Use cooking spray for sticky ingredients.

When measuring sticky ingredients, such as honey or peanut butter, use cooking spray on your measuring cups: it’ll make things much easier.
