Vinegar in the kitchen.

Vinegar is a great multipurpose item to have in your home. I used to think it was only for making Easter eggs! But not only is it great for cleaning, it can do wonders in your kitchen too!

Here are a few ideas:

For wilting vegetables - Soak them in cold water and a little vinegar and they'll freshen right up.

Cooking vegetables - Add a little vinegar to help them retain their color.

Rice - Add a teaspoon and your rice will be fluffier.

Merange - Add 1/4 teaspoon to your egg whites and the merange will be really fluffy.

Potatoes - Cover peeled potatoes with water and two teaspoons of vinegar to keep them from turning dark.

Too much salt? - If you've oversalted a dish, add a teaspoon of vinegar and a teaspoon of sugar and reheat , it'll taste much better.

Know of any other good uses for vinegar? Please leave me a comment.

Vinegar is a wonderful cleaner! I use it in the kitchen & bathroom. It is also great for removing odors from fabric.
