It’s kind of impossible to look at an egg and know that it’s fresh even though most grocery stores these days do print the date on them, just like so, but sometimes these dates get rubbed off because of some other reason that we just don’t know. In that kind of case what do you do to figure out if an egg is fresh or not? Well here’s a simple trick, just drop your egg in some water and the fresh ones will
sink to the bottom just like this, and the un-fresh ones will float to the top just like so. Now the great thing about this trick is you can do it with multiple eggs if you have a big enough tub, and then you can easily detect which eggs are fresh and which eggs are no good. For example here, these two are no good and I’m going to dispose of them and cook withthe rest. 2: Ginger Peeling Alright here’s a trick how to peel some ginger. Normally you use a gadget like this or another gadget like this, but for this we’re going to use a simple and humble spoon like so, or you can use a smaller one like a teaspoon like this one.
All you do is scrape it across the surface at a little bit of an angle and it just removes the skin from the ginger. You can also use a big one, it doesn’t really matter what spoon you use but the great thing about spoons is they can get into the crevices and valleys where other tools can’t really get into and they just remove the skin from the ginger so you’re leftover with much more ginger root at the end of peeling.
There we go – done. 3: Instant Mayonnaise Alright this here is the easiest mayonnaise recipe in the world. Add 2 egg yolks, one broke slightly there, and then you want to add half a teaspoon of mustard, just like so, followed by 2-tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Then one tablespoon of water, this is very important – this is the key here to make
the blender mayonnaise. 6 kitchen tricks/tips/hacks 1: Egg Freshness Test Sometimes you’ve got some eggs and you just don’t know whether they’re fresh or not.

and then you want to add half a teaspoon of mustard, just like so, followed by 2-tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Then one tablespoon of water, this is very important – this is the key here to make the blender mayonnaise. Then you want to add ½ teaspoon of flaked salt, just like so – that was smoked flaked salt. And then you want to follow that with 240-milliliters of canola oil. You can use any other kind of oil and you’ll get different flavors of mayonnaise, but this is a very good oil to use for making it.
Once you’ve done that then you want to take your hand blender and place it in, I always put it at an angle so there’s no air pocket and then you press it against your egg yolks at the bottom and start it. This is very important, don’t pull it up until it starts to become mayo and then slowly pull it up so that it can make the mayonnaise. Once it becomes a thick consistency you want to pump it up and down quickly while it’s still on the blender and this will create a homogenous mayonnaise, just like this.
Once you’ve done that just pull it out and there you go, you’ve got the simplest, easiest delicious mayonnaise you can make. There is no point to really buy mayonnaise when you can make it this easily. 4: Cutting Board Movement Cutting boards are great for cutting but sometimes they can slip and slide and move. Now this can be very dangerous when you’re using a big sharp knife like this. If it moves at the wrong moment you would cut yourself.
