Freeze Herbs in Olive Oil.
Herbs can be tricky to store as they wilt and quickly lose flavor. One hack to prevent this is to freeze them in olive oil. Simply chop up your herbs, put them in an ice cube tray, pour olive oil over the top, and freeze. When you need to use them, pop out a cube and add it to your recipe.

Use a Muffin Tin for Condiments.
Condiments can be a mess to serve at a party, but a muffin tin can make it easy. Fill each muffin cup with a different condiment, and let your guests help themselves. This is also a great way to portion control your condiments.
Use a Spoon to Peel Ginger.
Ginger is a delicious spice, but its tough skin can be difficult to remove. Instead of using a peeler, use a spoon. Hold the spoon with the concave side facing the ginger and scrape the skin away. It’s a lot easier than using a knife or peeler.
Use a Pizza Cutter to Chop Herbs.
Chopping herbs can be a tedious task, but a pizza cutter can make it a breeze. Simply roll the pizza cutter over the herbs and watch them get chopped up quickly and evenly.
Use a mason jar as a blender cup. If you don’t have a blender cup, don’t worry. You can use a mason jar instead. Attach the blender blades to the top of the jar and blend away. This is a great hack for making smoothies or other blended drinks.
