2. Prevent Overcooking Pasta

Add a small amount of cold water to your boiling pasta water just before draining. This will lower the temperature quickly, preventing overcooking.

3. Easy Way to Soften Butter

Grate cold butter using a cheese grater for quick softening. This method is especially useful when you need softened butter for baking.

4. Revive Stale Bread

Sprinkle a little water over stale bread, then bake it in the oven for a few minutes. The moisture will revive the bread, making it fresh and crusty again.
