CLEANING
When grout gets grimy, sometimes it's easier just to remove it - and it's easier than you may think. There are four surprisingly simple methods to take care of the issue.
CLEANING
That grimy haze trapped between oven door panels can make even the cleanest kitchen look neglected, and most people don't realize the glass often unclips in under five minutes. We found seven straightforward techniques that turn this dreaded chore into a surprisingly quick win.
TIP OF THE DAY
Why are Your Burners So Gloopy?
Soak removable burner grates and caps in a sink of hot water and dish soap for 20 minutes . Scrub with a stiff brush to loosen baked-on grease, then rinse and dry before putting them back. For electric coil burners, lift them up, wipe the drip pans with a damp cloth and a baking soda paste, then replace everything once they are dry. |  |
FOOD STORAGE
Strawberries lose half their vitamin C within just two days of sitting on the counter—which means those beautiful berries need attention fast. We found seven simple storage tricks that keep them firm, sweet, and mold-free for up to two weeks.
FUN FACT
Anchovies in Worcestershire Sauce?
Anchovies remain one of the core ingredients in Worcestershire sauce, even though most people never detect a fishy flavor. The small fish dissolve completely during aging, which takes at least 18 months in wooden barrels, leaving only a deep umami richness. That hidden anchovy punch explains why the sauce works so well in Bloody Marys, steak marinades, and even vegan dishes. |  |
THANK YOU!
Sparkling ovens and strawberries that last—these tricks turn everyday annoyances into quick wins. Grout grime doesn't stand a chance when you know the right moves. Small fixes make a big difference in how your home feels.
May your berries stay fresh,
