Dental Floss Will Serve You Better in the Kitchen Than in the Bathroom

If you keep your dental floss in your bathroom, you can only do one thing with it; floss your teeth. But if you move it to your kitchen, the possibilities are endless.

Use it For Slicing

Dental floss is great for slicing soft food or one prone to crumbling, like cheeses, cakes, and hard-boiled eggs. You’ll get perfect and even slices every time.

Use it to Unstick Cookies

Let’s say your freshly baked cookies have been stuck to the baking sheet, and you are afraid you’ll ruin them if you use too much force. In that case, simply slide dental floss on one side and slowly pull towards yourself while mimicking flossing motions. The cookie will get detached cleanly while retaining its perfect shape.

Use it to Dry Herbs

Didn’t use up all your herbs? Tie them up and hang them somewhere bright to get some dried herbs for later use.

Use it for Trussing

Need to truss your chicken or turkey? Do it with dental floss. It is hygienic and will handle the heat well.

Use it to Make Herb Bundles for Your Dishes

Want to infuse your dish with more flavor but don’t want the herbs to float freely all over it when it’s cooked? Then use dental floss to tie herbs into bundles that you’ll be able to easily recover later.
