Five uses for vinegar you didn’t know
For years now it has been a prisoner of the kitchen cabinet. It may be used once or twice a month in most homes, and even then only sparingly.It is vinegar and I want you to know why you need to dust off that bottle and start pouring! Here are five uses for vinegar that you have probably never heard of before:
1. Cold vinegar takes the sting out of sunburn and can also be used to prevent other burns from blistering.
2. Marinating tough cuts of mean in vinegar will make them more tender. Marinating fish in vinegar will sweeten the flavor and take away the ‘fishy’ taste.
3. A strong vinegar solution wiped on your walls will prevent and eliminate mildew and dust buildup.
4. Vinegar and water mixed in a spray bottle is the best window and glass cleaner you will ever use. Use newspaper instead of paper towels for a streak-free shine.
5. 1 cup cottage cheese, 1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vinegar. Blend together for homemade sour cream.
