10 Alternative Uses For Kitchen Roll

Kitchen paper is a very popular cleaning material that is present in most homes around the world today as an alternative to the rags that were used to clean surfaces.

But, although it has multiple uses, many people limit it to cleaning spills or absorbing excess fat from food because they are its most well-known and widely disseminated utilities through the advertising media.

The truth is that everything does not end there since, like many other elements of the home, this can have some alternative uses to facilitate some tasks around the house and make our life easier. Do you want to know them?

10 alternative uses you can give to kitchen paper

1. Remove the threads from the cob

The small threads that cover the ear (corn) in many cases are not so easy to remove and can be time consuming. A simple sheet of kitchen paper can help you get rid of them without much effort and in a matter of seconds.

How? Dampen the paper towel and rub it over the corn. That’s all!

2. Oil bottle

After a lot of use of the oil, your bottle becomes sticky and it is a bit uncomfortable to hold it to use.

To avoid this, fold a sheet of kitchen paper and secure it with a rubber band near the neck of the container. In this way, the remaining oil will accumulate there and will not spill into the rest of the bottle.

3. Filter the fat from the broth

Chicken or meat broth is usually left with excess fat that is very difficult to remove even though it floats to the top. To get rid of these, simply cover a colander with kitchen paper and then drain the entire contents of the broth.

4. Avoid rust on cast steel pots

Cast steel pots and pans tend to rust easily when not treated properly. It is very important to dry them well before storing them and, as an additional tip, you can put sheets of absorbent paper between them.

5. Dry the vegetables

Most vegetables need to be washed and sanitized before storing in the dispenser or before you start using them. The problem is that they almost always remain with traces of moisture from the water that did not get out of the strainer.

To give them a quick and complete drying, take two sheets of this paper, cover a container or salad bowl and pour in the vegetables you want to dry.

6. Taste your seeds

Do you think your seeds are too old to be sown? If you have doubts about their possible growth because you had them saved for a long time, try the following trick:

• Dampen two paper towels and put the seeds in the middle so that they are covered.
• Put them in a warm place, moistening them occasionally and  if after two weeks they do not sprout, it is because they are no longer useful.

7. Cooler bread

One of the tricks to keep bread for longer is putting it in the freezer. However, to be more effective, a good idea is to wrap it with a sheet of kitchen paper to trap moisture, helping to prevent the appearance of fungi and further prolonging the shelf life of this food.

8. Absorb Moisture From Brown Sugar

Generally, when the temperature rises and food needs to be kept fresh, brown sugar releases a natural moisture that, over time, makes it look like a compact dough.

If you notice that something similar happened to your sugar, put it in a container covered with kitchen paper, and notice how the next day it returns to its original state.

9. Fritters with less fat

One of the main functions of this utensil is to absorb. When it comes to fat or oils, it is the best to eliminate excesses.

If you want your fries to be crispy and slightly oily, spread several sheets of absorbent paper on a plate or drainer, and let them rest there for a few minutes to release those traces of fat.

10. Fresh vegetables for longer

Are your veggies breaking down too fast? So that this does not happen again, next time wrap them in sheets of kitchen paper before putting them in the fridge.
