Kitchen Tip Tuesday

Ok, this isn't much but I thought it was genius when I saw it.  I rarely watch commercials anymore but I guess I was for some reason or maybe I flipped to Food Network and Alton Brown was on none the less it doesn't matter what matters is I saw a neat kitchen tip compliments of Alton Brown!

Do you ever have trouble getting all the air out of your baggie that you're putting in the freezer or fridge.  I know I do sometimes.  Well, to help it, close it up nearly all the way and then insert a straw at the edge and suck out all the air.  Way to cool and way to easy!

Hope it makes your life a bit easier at times!

Kitchen Tip Tuesday

I don't have a ton of kitchen tips but I have a good one for you today that I learned several years ago.  I don't remember where I read it but I'm just glad I did!

You know how when you make bacon your whole house smells like bacon for what seems like forever!  All you need to do is put a small cup of vinegar on your stove top and it helps absorb the bacon smell.  It really does work.  I just turn on the vent and have my vinegar out and then a bacon smell free home!  Don't get me wrong I love my bacon as much as the next person just not the lingering smell of it in my house for what seems like 24 hours!

I just have some vinegar in a small container with a lid so I put it in my pantry when I'm done and take it out the next time I make bacon.
