Butter, the golden queen of baking has always been a staple for those of us who enjoy cakes, ice cream and chocolates. What most of us were unaware of is its ability to be more than just that vital ingredient in our baking expeditions. Not only does butter help onions last longer, they also remove the ghastly smell left on your hands as you work with raw fish. Read on to find out more.
Eliminate ink stains
Ditch the idea of toothbrushes and bleaching products and use butter to remove ink stains instead. Whether it’s a stain left on your table top or ink stains left on your child’s pencil box, rub a little butter on it and wait for two minutes. Rinse with soap and water to reveal a clean surface.
Remove the smell of raw fish
When preparing raw fish for cooking, it often leaves quite an unpleasant smell on your hands. Rub your hands with butter and then rinse with hand wash to completely remove the stench.
Untangle jewellery
If you’re fed up of patiently working through a mesh of entwined jewellery, use a teaspoon of butter on the tangled area and then use a sharp pencil to run through it.
Preserve onions
If you’ve cut and used just half an onion, do not worry about the rest of it getting spoilt. Rub butter around the unused section, wrap it in aluminum foil and store it until its next use.
