Alright, let’s get going, six little tricks
to use in the kitchen.
First off take a hardboiled egg, place it
in a jar, add a little bit of water to cover,
then you just place your hand over the jar
and shake it like mad.
Once you’re done which is pretty soon just
take the egg out and the shell is basically
falling off the boiled egg.
It’s that easy to remove.
Alright trick number five, staying on the
same shaking idea, this is a garlic bulb and
I’m just going to place it in a jar and
again shake like mad.
Okay once you’ve done that for a little
bit then you just pop it out and you just
remove some of the husks because they’ll
get in the way later.
Once you remove the husks just put all these
garlic cloves back inside, put the lid back
on and again shake like crazy.
Keep shaking, just carry on shaking and now
you just pop it out and all the skins have
separated from the cloves.
You can just pick them away and put them to
one side.
Then you’ve got these beautiful little garlic
cloves, any of the skins that are still on
you can put them in the jar and shake again
or just easily pull it off, very easily like
that.
Okay trick number four, take a kiwi, slice
it in half then take a glass, press the glass
into the corner of the kiwi and then up against
the back of the skin all the way up until
the skin is completely removed in one go.
There we go, now you’ve got half a kiwi
perfectly peeled—that easy.
You can also do the same with mangos.
Now trick number three, take a banana and
a sewing needle and then you just want to
take the sewing needle and push it in through
one of the corners and then just slide it
on the inside cutting the inside of the banana,
just like that.
And then you just move it down a couple centimeters
and do another cut, and then move it down
a couple more centimeters and do another cut
again and you continue all the way down the
spine of the banana until you reach the bottom.
And then I suggest you do not open it yourself
but to hand it over to a friend so they can
open it and make sure they didn’t see you
doing this.
All they’ll see is some dots going across
the side of the banana, but to their amazement
when they open it, it will be cut into slices
because there’s some kind of black magic
or something, who knows.
It’s surely going to fascinate and amaze
whoever you show it to.
Alright trick number two, take a paprika or
a red bell pepper and you slice the top off.
Then you slice the bottom off, and here I’m
going to show you how to efficiently cut this
paprika and break it down.
Just slice into the side just like this and
then remove the core by disconnecting the
main connector tissues from the inside, just
those three struts.
Then place your core on the side, then flip
over the outer skin of the paprika and slice
it into thin slices just like this.
Once you’ve done that then just take the
top, you can remove this little green part
on the top of the paprika by just pressing
on the back with your thumbs and popping out
just like this, and then you just simply take
the top part and slice it again in thin slices.
You take now the bottom and also slice that
in slices, just like this.
Then you’ve got all this flesh that you
can use with most of the paprika, and you
have the extra little core bits, the most
efficient way to cut it.
Now for the final trick, trick number one.
You just take a knife and a potato and you
put them together and twirl the potato around
while you cut into the skin just softly in
a circular motion.
Then you take it and you cook it like you
normally would.
Now by cooking the skin with the potato you
actually infuse the potato with more flavor
because most of the flavor of the potato is
actually in the skin so you get more potato
mash, and once you’ve cooked it you can
just pull the skin off just like this and
it’s so much more efficient, you don’t
waste any potato and it’s much quicker than
peeling it.
