TIP OF THE DAY
Does your kitchen sink drain smell like last week's leftovers?
Pour half a cup of baking soda directly into the drain, then follow with one cup of white vinegar. Cover the drain with a stopper or a damp cloth and wait 15 minutes while the fizzing action breaks down grease and odor-causing gunk. Flush with hot water for 30 seconds. The bubbling reaction loosens debris stuck to pipe walls without harsh chemicals. |  |
FOOD STORAGE
Hard cheese can stay fresh for months when stored correctly, but soft varieties often spoil within days if the wrapping traps moisture. We've gathered seven simple storage tricks that extend the life of every type of cheese, from crumbly feta to creamy brie.
FUN FACT
Cast iron cookware survived a 2,000-year-old shipwreck!
Chinese foundries were pouring molten iron into sand molds to create cooking vessels as early as 220 AD, during the Han Dynasty. That's more than 1,300 years before Europeans figured out how to cast iron at scale. The technique spread along trade routes, but China kept the metallurgical edge for centuries because its blast furnaces burned hotter than anything the West could build at the time. |  |
