6-Easily remove the skin of a kiwi

Cut half an inch off the ends of the kiwi. Take a soup spoon and insert it right between the fruit and the peel. Gently scoop out the flesh in a circular motion, being careful to stay as close to the peel as possible without breaking it.

7-Peel garlic the fuss-free way

Place cloves in a lidded container and shake. The skin will fall right off.

8-Remove eggshell pieces 2 ways:

with a wet fingertip or with an eggshell half.

9-Keep cookies – and their ingredients! – moist for days

Save them from drying out by placing an apple slice in an airtight container with the cookies. The apple slice will hold in the cookies’ moisture. TIP: Do not let the apple slice touch the cookies.

You can prevent brown sugar from drying out and hardening, too! To soften hard sugar cover with a damp paper towel and microwave.
