STOP Doing This in Your Kitchen!
Your kitchen should be a place of efficiency and joy, but many common mistakes can make cooking harder, messier, and even unsafe. If you’re guilty of any of these habits, it’s time to stop now!
### 1. Storing Potatoes and Onions Together
Many people store potatoes and onions in the same place, but this is a big mistake! Onions release gases that make potatoes spoil faster. Keep them separate to extend their freshness.
### 2. Using a Dull Knife
A dull knife is actually more dangerous than a sharp one because it requires more force, increasing the risk of slipping and cutting yourself. Keep your knives sharp to make cooking safer and easier.
### 3. Washing Raw Chicken
You might think washing raw chicken removes bacteria, but it actually spreads germs all over your sink and countertops. Cooking it properly at high temperatures is the best way to kill bacteria.
### 4. Letting Leftovers Sit Too Long
Leaving food out for more than two hours can lead to bacterial growth, increasing the risk of food poisoning. Always store leftovers in the fridge as soon as possible.
