Today I decided to let the x chef in me out to deliver some food hacks, I still love to cook but I do not do it much anymore, life has become too hectic with my IT work, never the less Im sure my friends 
Yogurt Is Amazing
Yogurt is amazing , its a much healthier alternative than mayonnaise and using plain yogurt you can create entire dishes in a moment, you can top it with a variety fruit, nuts and spices or get really adventurous and top it with grated, chopped or sliced fresh or roasted veggies the possibilities are endless, a personal favourite is plain greek yogurt.
Removing Egg Shells
You have just cracked open a few eggs for your next dish and oops a few egg shells have dropped into the bowl with the egg, the easiest way to remove those shells is simply to first wet the tips of your fingers in plain water then remove the shells, you will be amazed at how well it works.
How Do You Tell If Your Eggs Are Fresh ?
Pop your eggs in a bowl of water, if they sink to the bottom then they perfect, if your eggs hang round the middle they are +- 2 weeks old and if they float to the top they are old baby, best get rid of them.
Cut Soft Foods Easly
So you need to make that perfect cut, easily slice cake, cheese and most soft food perfectly with some dental floss or fishing line you will look like a kitchen ninja in no time.
Need To Keep The Leafy Veggies Fresh ?
Place the veggies into a bag blow air into it, then seal the seal it tightly before the air escapes, they will remain just as fresh in 2 days as when you bagged them.
A Simple Trick For Easly Cleaning Measuring Utensils From Gooey Ingredients.
Sticky ingredients like honey and molasses and syrup come off of measuring cups and spoons easly if you spray the tools with nonstick spray first, once done simply rinse the utensil under the tap.
Make Deserts Even Yummier
Salt your desserts to bring out the flavor dont knock it until you have tried it.
Cant Find That Lid For Your Favourite Pot ?
Place a layer of foil over the top and squeeze around the edges so it remains in place if it bubbles to much poke a few holes in the top to release the heat a little.
Need Room-Temperature Butter Fast?
Grab a cheese greater and grate your stick of butter it is by far the best way to get butter to room temperature fast.
Chops Onions Without Crying (Chefs trick)
Place your cutting board on the stove under the hood fan turn it on a chop away....see no tears. :)
Forgot The Buttermilk
Mix 1 table spoon of lemon juice or vinigar with half a glass of milk, in about 4 minutes you will have the Buttermilk you need.
