CLEANING

TIP OF THE DAY
Tired of that mystery smell lurking in your kitchen?
Drop half a lemon and a handful of fresh rosemary into a small pot of water, then simmer on low for 30 minutes. The steam carries citrus and herbal notes through your home. Refill the water as it evaporates to keep the scent going for up to two hours. This method works because heat releases the essential oils trapped in the peel and leaves, turning your stovetop into a natural diffuser. |  |
FOOD STORAGE
Milk can stay fresh in the freezer for up to three months, and the texture holds up best when it's frozen in its original container with a bit of room left for expansion. We discovered that thawing it overnight in the fridge brings back nearly the same consistency, perfect for baking, smoothies, or morning coffee.
FUN FACT
NASA Used Teflon in Space Suits Before Home Cooks Cracked Eggs in Non-Stick Pans
The Manhattan Project and early aerospace programs grabbed all the Teflon supply during the 1940s because the material could handle extreme conditions. Home cooks were still scrubbing cast iron. The first non-stick cookware didn't hit French stores until 1956, and American shoppers had to wait until 1961 when skepticism about "plastic pans" finally faded. |  |
