To solve the problem of handling cutlery and ladles while cooking, one can store them vertically in a cutlery holder to prevent them from dripping onto the cooking surfaces. And an ideal alternative to using a cutlery holder is to use a mug (or a mug-shaped container) for the same purpose.

To make a quick snack or a dessert for last-minute guests, you can use apple donuts covered in puff pastry. All you need to do is cut the apples into slices and cut them out in the center to give them the shape of a donut. Season them with sugar and cinnamon and cover them with strips of puff pastry. Bake and enjoy this spectacular dessert with your guests.

Cleaning the oven sometimes seems like a daunting task. With the right method, however, it's actually child's play. Starting with the inside, heat the oven up a bit (not too hot). With the interior now warm and the help of an abrasive sponge, you can quickly scrape away any grease and grime. To further soften any residue, pass a sponge with dish detergent over the surfaces and then rinse off. With regard to the glass door, few people know that on the sides of the door, at the outer edges, there are two small buttons that allow you to quickly remove the glass to wash it in the sink. Your oven will be clean in a jiffy.

Did you know that placing aluminum foil under the ironing board cover can help you iron more efficiently and faster? Pass a hot iron over a sheet of aluminum foil placed on top of the ironing board. You will immediately notice how, by ironing only the outer side of a garment, the side in contact with the foil will almost never need to be ironed. Your ironing will go much quicker.

To hang tea towels on the oven door (or anywhere else), try using magnetic cable clips. Once you try them you will never you will see how useful they are. And you can also use them in a thousand other ways (as a bookmark, for example)
