Some days, you can’t help but be mad. Maybe you’ve just had a bad time at work or you’re going through a breakup, but in any case, rage is never good to keep inside. Instead of doing something you might regret, take out all your aggressive energy in the kitchen. Not only will you feel better, you will have used your energy for something productive.

Kneading Dough

Kneading dough requires a lot of strength, and can often take a while. While you’re not feeling 100%, put your energy into kneading a loaf of bread, or making a flatbread recipe.

Crushing Garlic

There are many ways to peel garlic, but the most effective and useful in the context of being mad is by crushing it. You can either use the bare palm of your hand and hit the flat side of a knife against the glove.

Softening Butter

If you’re looking to make something that calls for softened butter, like cookies or cakes, but you don’t have the time to let it come to room temperature, this is the perfect solution for you. Instead of getting even more made, simply take a rolling pin the smack the stick of butter until it’s soft.
