Kitchen Hacks Part VI

Happy Sunday! Today's post is another Kitchen Hacks! I hope you find all of these tips as helpful as I am! Enjoy~

1.     Need to chop up herbs? An efficient way to do this is to either roll up the leaves into small rolls and chop thinly, or secure a rubber band around a cluster of them and then begin chopping!
2.     How to create the perfect chocolate curls: wrap the chocolate bar in plastic wrap and rub the palm of your hand on the surface of the chocolate, then unwrap and use a vegetable peeler running towards you.
3.     If you have a bowl too small for a double boiler when melting chocolate, place a heatproof colander over the pot of boiling water, and set your small bowl with chocolate in the colander. Problem solved!
4.     Making zesting citrus easier by freezing the fruit for 30 minutes and then zesting.
5.     Want to easily steam a bunch of corn on the cob? Cut up two medium onions into 1-inch slices, separate into rings, and arrange them on the bottom of a large roasting pan. Fill the pan with 1-inch water and place the shucked ears of corn on top of the onions, cover with aluminum foil, and seal tightly. Set the pan over two burners and steam over high heat for about ten minutes, or until tender.
