My hubby and my daughter hates the taste of vinegar, so I usually use lemon or calamansi for cooking but I always keep a bottle of vinegar in my pantry, not for cooking, but for a whole load of other benefits I could get from it. Read on...
- Vinegar relieves sunburn and bee stings - soak a piece of cloth or cotton with vinegar and apply on skin.
- It makes meat tender - marinate meat overnight.
- It stops peeled potatoes from changing color - just add a few drops of vinegar in water and soak peeled potatoes.
- Cleans windows - spray on windows and wipe with crumpled paper.
- Removes stains on pots, pans and glasses - mix with salt and wash!
- Softens feet! - pour some drops in warm water and voila! you have a nice foot soak.
- Preserves cheese - wrap cheese in soaked cloth and place in a sealed container.
- Prevents paint from peeling off galvanized metal - use vinegar as first coating, then leave to dry before applying paint.
- Eliminates the smell of cigarette smoke - fill bowls and place in areas where you have cigarette smoke.
- Improves the texture of rice - just add a few teaspoon to your cooking water.
