      I was scammed $500 by Kenzzi! To you, that might just be a penny. But to me and to previous customers they scammed, every cent counts! I don’t even have their products and they still refuse to refund my money with their shady excuses! How can I pay my bills?!

    You can also use your potato peeler on butter you forgot to leave out the fridge.
    Thin slices make it easy to spread.

    Great tip for onion…cut more than you need and freeze so it’s ready next time, without more tears. Thanks for the tips Brittany. I’ve been preaching the plastic thing for years and still shocked at how many people don’t know.

    • @tillybobs2

      Another tip with onion, to remove onion smell from your hands after handling is rub your hands over your taps/faucet , or anything metal, it removes the odour straight away

    All good info/tips! But not every dishwasher has a top rack that can move up & down. I just checked ours and it does not have any mechanism that would allow it to move vertically. Other than that, I love your tips - you keep things short & concise and, most importantly, you don't waste our time! Thank you!!
    Oh, I'll be trying out that Coco Floss, too!

    • @christinef7739
      @christinef7739 Год назад +6

      None of my dishwashers did. I think it's a "top of the line" feature.

    • @japspeedgirl6216
      @japspeedgirl6216 Год назад

      Every dishwasher has this feature, even the cheapest one has double wheels, so you can use either top wheels to have it lower or bottom to bring it higher. The runners have tiny swivelling blockades that you need to move outside to be able to pull the basket out.

    I use the peeler to slice ginger! Didn't know about the 8 indicating GMOs!
    I did the thing where you soak clothes in baking soda and detergent to get out excess residue from prior washes, helped with odors too, after that I didn't need to do extra rinses. My thought is that if you need to do an extra rinse, you're using too much detergent/fabric softener, and it may have built up in your machine (which also needs to be cleaned regularly).

    Hi Brittany!
    I learned about the knife grip from a Healthy Kitchen Cooking class for Military Veteran Women. I learned about the plastic in the microwave and I use mine for the timer only-- because it also causes microwaved protein (eggs, butter) to make you sick to your stomach! There's two kinds of peeler! One with the ridges is for fruit and soft flesh fruits, like zucchini. And the straight edges peelers re for tougher peels like potatoes! Just be careful going forward and backwards with the sharp edges!
    I learned that using white vinegar gets out the extra soapiness and stinky smells in the 1st rinse cycle-- as we have an on-site laundry facility, so a 2nd rinse isn't cost/time effective for me.
    And using vinegar makes the towels softer and more absorbent-- no need for dryer sheets!

  • @marionbylsma1167
    @marionbylsma1167 Год назад +7

    Did you know if you’re using your box grater to grate something if you lay down on the counter instead of standing up, it’s a lot easier on your wrist and hand goes faster and everything falls into the greater oh, and if you put some wax paper down it definitely doesn’t go all over the counter and it’s easy to pick any that comes out of the side. I was in my 70s before I learned that.

    • @jeanetteh.9240

    Just popped in and the "Like" button is spinning like it's the big wheel on Wheel of Fortune. LOL.
    Just wanted to share another laundry tip: for clothing that is sweat-wicking or any other stinky items, I put a half cup to a cup of Baking Soda in my wash machine and Stink Be Gone. I also like the extra rinse idea.
    The only downside tip was that not all dishwashers have adjustable racks. I was really looking forward to that one, but my dishwasher was all, "keep dreaming." LOL

  • @MAJewellery
    @MAJewellery Год назад +7

  • @jengsci8268
    @jengsci8268 Год назад +2

    I always thought for the one model veggie peeler was like that so it didn't matter if you were right or left handed. And I don't know if some of these things are wrong if what you're doing is working just as well for you. As far as shredding, I like to use a (box) grater for the carrots and onions etc, holding it at an angle.

    @Nora-jt9zy Год назад

    Thanks for a lot of awesome tips 😊 I have a tip for your blender 😊 When you are done blending, rinse as good as you can, put some water and a bit of dish soap in the blender and put it back on the blender, and rinse again. Then the blades of your blender is almost clean.

  • @carolinalander6187
    @carolinalander6187 Год назад +2

    Also, I wanted to mentioned that, on the straight potato peeler (that is what I use), the tip is to remove the little indents, instead of keep on peeling part of the pulp until you remove everything and get a clean potato. I Peek the potato then remove the dark spots with the tip (straight potato peeler). Also, I use the potato peeler to remove the sling of all my vegetables, specially those that have hard skins, like pumpkins and pumpkin families (butternut squash, etc.) and it makes a huge difference. Thanks for all your tips , they are of a great value.

    • @marcysikes
      @marcysikes Год назад +1

      Steam the butternut squash before peeling. If it’s too big cut it in half before steaming. I learned this after working my fingers “to the bone” trying to peel a butternut squash. Peels like butter with a paring knife after steaming!

    And I do think of you every time I open that bottom compartment of the washer and pull out the drain hose and clean the filter. I never knew what that was for until YOU mentioned it a year or so ago. And I never, EVER close the washer door.
