Is This Egg Fresh?

Egg freshness test. Two glasses of water and Eggs. The fresh egg will sink but the rotten one will float.

To determine whether an egg is fresh, immerse it in a pan of water. If it sinks, it’s fresh, but if it rises to the surface, it’s old and should be thrown away. This is because as the egg gets older, the size of the air sac inside increases, making it float.

Smelly Garbage Disposal?

Farmers' Almanac - Boiled potatoes

Less Mess Pouring

Eliminate Onion and Garlic Odor!

Remove onion and garlic smell from your hands by rubbing them over a stainless steel faucet after washing them with soap and water. The sulfur compounds bind to the steel—efficiently removing the odors from your fingers.
