2. Flossing food: Nobody would ever think of this trick since floss and food don’t sound like the best combination. Unscented dental floss is basically a knife you can use to cut crumbly soft cheese, even layers in cake, etc. This is a cool trick to keep your dishes looking flawless!

3. Rolling citrus fruit: If you roll while applying a bit of pressure to your citrus fruits (lemons, limes, oranges, etc.), you will get so much more of that juicy goodness.
4. Store ice cream in a bag: No more bendy spoons! A plastic freezer bag keeps the cold air from making your ice cream rock hard. Try to push out as much air from the bag as you can before putting it in the freezer.

5. The smart way to reheat pasta: Instead of stirring your pasta several times in between the cook time in your microwave, leave a small circle empty in the middle of your plate so that the pasta will cook more evenly. This saves you time and is actually quite funny to prepare!

7. Cook fish on lemons: Because fish sticks and fish fillets fall apart so easily on a grill, this is the best way to cook them! Not only does the fish soak up the citrus flavor of the lemons, but it keeps your fish in one piece and makes clean-up really easy.
