The eternal struggle of trying to spread hard butter on toast is over!

Just grate your (cold) butter and it will spread like a dream.

Placing an onion in hot water for five minutes will make the skin really easy to peel.

The same is true for garlic — but, if you can’t wait five minutes for garlic, microwave it for 20 seconds instead.

Filling an ice cube tray tray with things like pasta sauce, stock cubes, or even coffee removes the difficulty caused by pesky jar lids or food wrapping.

Just pop out the cubes whenever you need them and melt your way to an easier mealtime!
