Pull your bananas apart, from the bunch, into single units and cover each stem in a plastic wrap or foil. Ethylene gas is produce naturally by bananas to accelerate the ripening process. Wrapping the stem contains the gas at the stem, thereby reducing the ripening rate, and thereby making your bananas stay “unspoilt” longer.

Just as it’s done for cake icing, you can use a zip lock bag or pastry bag for your pancake batter. It will prevent the mess that comes with using a spoon or any other tool to serve your batter on the pan. You can also be creative with it and make some nice shapes.

When frozen and then mashed up, bananas can make a perfect base for creamy ice cream. This is far healthier for home-made ice cream.

Ethylene gas is responsible for ripening of fruits. The ripening rates of fruits like bananas, avocados, mangoes, apples etc. can be increased by storing them in closed brown paper bag. This traps the gas in the bag, allowing the fruit sugars to mature and break down the acids.

Instead of using knife to do your cutting of foods like doughs or prepared cakes or bread, you can simply use a dental floss, to prevent the mess that may come with using knives.

Fries, no doubt, offer a great source of nutritional satiety, but despite that, their preparations may not be so prudent for your overall body health; they sometimes get soaked in the oil, which most times are high in saturated fat. To prevent this unpleasantness, you should bake your fries, instead of frying them in oil. Chop your fries up in your desired shapes, and roast them in the oven with a bit of oil, salt, and maybe some spices, if you want. This ultimately curbs the problem of excess oil and calories.

Herbs like thyme, curry, moringa or any other are best dried at controlled temperature. When dried under the sun, like most people do, there are chances the leaves will lose essential nutrients, or even lose their flavours. It is then best to dry them out in the oven, and turning them over at intervals of 20 seconds until they are completely dry, at which point you can then crush them.

Fresh eggs can be difficult to peel when boiled compared to days old ones. So buy your eggs in advance, before needing to use them, and leave them to sit in the fridge.

If you are whisking your egg or you accidentally dropped some pieces of shell while breaking, getting the pieces out can be annoying, if not time-wasting. The best way through this is to attract the eggshells with another eggshell. The introduced broken half acts like a magnet and easily attracts the errant shell shards.
