Okay, so you know how sometimes things in the kitchen can be hard or tricky to do? Well, a kitchen hack is like a sneaky trick or shortcut that you can use to make things easier or faster!
For example, have you ever tried to peel a hard-boiled egg and ended up taking off too much of the egg with the shell? One kitchen hack is to crack the shell all over by gently tapping it on a hard surface and then rolling it between your hands to break the shell apart. This helps the shell come off easier and you won't accidentally take chunks of the egg with it.
Another example is if you're making cookies and your butter is too cold to mix easily. Instead of waiting for it to soften up, you can put the butter between two sheets of wax paper and use a rolling pin to flatten and soften it. Then, peel off the paper and mix the softened butter with the rest of the ingredients.
Kitchen hacks can save you time and make cooking and baking more fun!
