This decluttering technique is pretty easy to adopt since it simply suggests you should get rid of an item every time you buy a new one. You can apply it to any room, but it really comes in handy with the kitchen. Space in this room is extremely limited no matter how big your kitchen is, and we’ve all found ourselves running out of it.

In addition to helping you get rid of the clutter, “one in, one out” rule will encourage you to become more financially reasonable. If buying something new means getting rid of something old, you’ll stop buying things you don’t actually need and save a lot of money in the process.

Keep It Bright

One of the biggest things you see in farmhouse kitchens is how light and bright they are. Even if you do not have a window in your kitchen, the best way to achieve that is to paint your walls and even your cabinets white! This will make it seem bigger and brighter.

Wood

Wood can give your kitchen that amazing rustic feeling everyone is after. You can do that in so many ways and you can really just keep it simple and just go for gorgeous wooden cutting boards. But, if you want to go the extra mile, order some wood contact paper and put it onto your countertops for a DIY butcher block look without having to shell out hundreds or even thousands of dollars!

Materials

You always want to mix and match your materials in the kitchen to give it that farmhouse feel. Have a combination of wicker baskets, glass jars, and pretty vintage dishes or glasses to really make it feel like the country.

Baking

When it comes to baking, it’s especially important that you have an accurate reading of your oven’s temperature. If you have your oven on too high or too low without knowing it, your bakes can come out drastically different, even if you follow a recipe to the tee.

Consistency

Even if you set your oven to a certain temperature, there’s no telling whether it will stay there or not. Most ovens fluctuate in temperature throughout the cooking process without you even knowing, sometimes plus or minus 20 degrees! But by having an oven thermometer and checking it frequently, you’ll be good to go.

Zones

There are multiple zones within an oven that all hold different temperatures, so there’s no way to tell what your oven’s temperature actually is on the whole. So by placing your oven thermometer where you rack and the dish is, you’ll be able to get an accurate reading.

Avoid the Dishwasher

You definitely don’t want to put it in the dishwasher. Always wash it on hand. The main reason is the temperature changes in the washer, combined with the harsh chemical detergents.

Clean it Right Away

Don’t wait after you’ve finished cooking the meal. Start cleaning the iron pot right away. Feel free to do it while it’s still hot. If it’s too hot, use kitchen gloves.

Don’t Soak it In Water

If you soak the skillet you risk the chance of noticing rust. That is why you should focus on cleaning it immediately, while it’s still hot.

Dry it Completely

Once you’re done, you should make sure that the cast iron skillet is completely dry. Use a soft napkin to avoid doing any damage.

Coat it With Oil

Get a few drops of vegetable oil, and with a paper spread it all over the inside of the skillet.

Sophisticated Black

Black doesn’t have to be boring! You can add that modern touch by including statement lights, other materials such as dark brown wood, an exposed brick wall, and fun chairs. These datails will really change the game.

Basic Black

The great thing about black is that you don’t have to go over the top. Instead, keep it very simple and you’ll have a win.

A Mix Of Glossy and Matte

A very interesting idea is to mix matte and glossy elements in the kitchen. If you are not fully convinced that you want a matte black kitchen you can always add those glossy or even light wood items that will really upgrade the appearance.

Everything Matte Black

Getting everything in matte black in a single room sure does sound daring, but it can be pulled off. This means that your kitchen should definitely have to have a lot of natural light coming in from the windows. Another smart idea is to leave the floor light and simple, to tone down the dark esthetic.

Balloon Whisk

This is probaly the whisk you grew up with. It’s pretty large so it’s good for making big ticket items like eggs or merringue, but not as useful for getting lumps out of sauces.

Flat Whisk

A flat whisk is named such because of its shape and is best used for making gravy, roux, or any type of sauce with a similar base, because it’s able to incorpearte all the flavors well, along with scraping the bottom of pans to get every bit of flavor.

Rubber Whisk

This type of whisk might not seem necessary, but if you’re ever making something in a non-stick pan, it’s absoutely essential. This is because metal will scrape the bottom of non-stick, specifically Teflon pans, releasing the chemicals and making them unusuable. That’s why using a plastic or rubber whisk in these situations is so important.

Not Using Fresh Coffee

The best coffee comes from freshly ground beans. If you are brewing your own coffee, you have to know that one of the most important steps is to have it ground recently. The taste will be superb.

Using Water That’s Not Hot Enough

Some people use water that’s not hot enough, while others use it way too hot. This is a crucial mistake to avoid when brewing coffee. The ideal temperature is 200 F degrees, a moment right before the water starts to boil.

You Buy Cheap Coffee

Don’t ever save money when it comes to buying coffee. Make sure that you find a quality brand that specializes in coffee. Buying a cheaper one that is only dollars less won’t make you a fortune.

Not Storing It Properly

Coffee should be placed in an air-tight container and away from humid spots. The freezer is the place you should avoid.

Acid Fixes Salty

When we mention acid we think of vinegar or lemon juice. A few drops will definitely make a difference.

Cream Saves the Day

All creamy ingredients that you add will definitely absorb the extra salt and be of huge help in the kitchen. It’s obvious that you can’t add cream to every single dish, but you can use this trick in numerous recipes. This applies to most sauces.

Add Water

The simplest trick to fix salty food is water. Feel free to add it to liquids such as soups, broths and more. You’ll be diluting the salt in more water, so that will change the taste.

Potatos

Adding unsalted potatoes to the already prepared dish can definitely help. Although most people are under the impression that potatoes are the only vegetable that can do this, there are several other options. Rice for an example is a great addition as well. They do not absorb the salt, but help to achieve a more even distribution.

Light it Up

Lights will bring a whole new dimension to the way your kitchen looks. Start with a very modern, but simple design and add some lights in the bottom. These kitchen islands are trending right now, so you’ll be among the first ones to have it.

Color it

Vintage and rustic are two of the most popular interior design styles for 2019. So if you’ve been looking for ideas to upgrade your kitchen you can easily copy this one. It’s very minimalist and pretty with a pop of color on the island.

Not Your Usual Kitchen Island

Kitchen islands don’t always have to be done in the classic way. If you want to be different you can easily opt for a fun table in the middle. This will save you space, but you can still store plenty of things under it.

Add Geometry

Geometry is always fun in architecture. There are so many cool ways to decorate your kitchen and get creative with the centerpiece. If you have enough space feel free to recreate this design.

Freeze it

Freezing the onions can really take away that harsh smell that makes your eyes watery. The only negative side of this method is that the onion will be a bit harder to cut because it will be frozen, but it’s not a big thing to worry about. Place it in the freezer for 15 to 30 minutes and that should do the trick.

Cut it Underwater

This one definitely sounds weird, but it’s such an efficient tip. Place the onion in a bowl filled with water and start cutting. The irritation will be gone right away. You will still need to drain it from the water at the end.

Use the Microwave

Place the whole onion in the microwave for half a minute, then take it out. It won’t completely take away the tears, but they will be reduced to minimum. It is one of the easiest tricks to cut onions.
