46 Smart Uses for Salt
17 Aug
So did you buy a lot of salt from a bulk wholesale retailer like I mentioned in Save Money and Cook at Home? Maybe you bought too much to use when cooking your famous restaurant recipes so instead of letting that salt sit on the shelf, here are some smart uses for salt from the folks over at Shine.Yahoo.com
Test egg freshness.
Put two teaspoons of salt in a cup of water and place an egg in it — a fresh egg will sink, an older egg will float. Because the air cell in an egg increases as it ages, an older egg is more buoyant. This doesn’t mean a floating egg is rotten, just more mature. Crack the egg into a bowl and examine it for any funky odor or appearance — if it’s rotten, your nose will tell you. (Bonus fact: if you have hard-boiled eggs that are difficult to peel, that means they are fresh!)
