【傳貼】9個你不得不學的水果去皮起肉技巧

Another useful tip post forwarded by mom.

夏天到啦,各種多汁香甜的水果襲來,好吃之人自然是不應該浪費了這上天的恩賜,所以小編決定為大家整合一個切水果及去皮方法的合集,乾淨又快速,吃起來也更方便,如果各位家裡有總是以“剝皮好煩”、“果汁會弄得到處髒兮兮”等藉口不吃水果的人,那麼請務必收藏啦!


1.不用剝皮就可以吃到蜜柑





蜜柑去頭去尾(千萬不要切太過,不然會把果肉切走變得不好看,一般蜜柑的皮都不會太厚),然後在果皮上縱向切斷果皮,最後慢慢拉扯開果肉,讓它們展開即可。

4.奇異果如何去皮



step 1:奇異果切頭切尾






step 2:勺子插入奇異果,盡可能貼著果皮,然後旋轉起肉即可。雖然奇異果對半切開再用勺子挖來吃也很方便,但如果是想用來做餐點裝飾,這樣起肉再切片的效果會最美觀哦!(tips:勺子要接近奇異果的大小)

5.如何切出沒有果衣的漂亮柑橘類水果




step 1 : 水果切頭切尾(有的柑橘類水果的果皮會比較厚,所以要根據實際情況來切,標準是切到看不到果皮)






step 2 : 選一個切面朝下,豎著切掉果皮






step 3 : 根據果衣的間距來切出成瓣的果肉(這一步最好在碗上進行,切好後可以直接掉入碗內,還可以保存滴下的果汁)

Got another one from E-mail forwarding. Sometimes they are useful!

Nothing is more wasteful than food that hasn't been eaten and allowed to go bad. It's not only a waste of money but also a waste of good food that in other parts of the world would be worth more than gold. So as to not throw away good money after good food, here are some great tips to help you keep your foods fresh and tasty that much longer.

Apply a little butter to the cut side of a cheese wedge to make sure it doesn't dry out.


Store potatoes with a few apples, this will stop them from sprouting.


As for mushrooms, these you should store in a paper bag, not a plastic one, to keep it fresh.


If you keep milk in the fridge door, it will go bad sooner than if you had put it in the middle of the fridge.


Wrap lettuce in tin foil to keep it fresh and crisp for much longer.


Use, or rather, re-use bottles to close up your plastic bags.


Rinse strawberries in a mixture of 1 part vinegar and 10 parts water. Drain, rinse and put in the fridge for strawberries that will last for 2 weeks longer. Make sure you keep the mixture diluted so you don't taste the vinegar.


Store eggs on the middle shelf of the refrigerator to make them last 3to4 weeks longer than their date of expiration.

To revive old bread, rub an ice cube on it and then bake it for 12 minutes.


If you cook corn kernels in a bowl topped with a plate, it will reduce the number of unpopped kernels.


Tomatoes last longer when stored in room temperature, not in the fridge.


Cheese should be kept in the warmest part of the fridge, such as the vegetable or cheese drawer.


Keep older foods in the front of the fridge so you don't miss out on their expiration date.



Carefully wrap the crown of a batch of bananas with cling film to block the air and extend their shelf life for 3-5 days more.


If you store onions in tights, they'll last up to 8 months longer.


If your fridge smells - clean it immediately. It means that something is rotting in your fridge, and if it stays there it will quickly spread to your new food. If the smell is strong, use disinfectant.
