Why you should grate your butter

<p>Making your own food can take quite a bit of time, so a time-saving trick is always welcome.</p> <p>Dealing with cold, hard butter out of the refrigerator can be a hassle – it is not easily spreadable, and often needs to be brought to room temperature for most recipes. You can’t exactly leave it out for too long, either – food authorities such as the <a href="http://foodsafety.asn.au/butter/">Food Safety Information Council</a> generally recommend storing butter in the fridge to prevent it from becoming rancid.</p> <p>Luckily, there’s a trick to make your butter soft in little to no time. And it only requires a grater.</p> <p>Meghan Moravcik Walbert from <a href="https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2019/03/grate-your-butter-to-soften-it-quickly/"><em>Lifehacker</em></a> said grating your butter is an easy way to transform it from brick-hard to soft, fluffy and ready for use.</p> <p>Once grated, the softened butter can be spread over toast, mixed up with dry ingredients in baking or utilised in any way your recipe requires.</p> <p>“I peel the wrapper back as I work to keep my hands clean,” wrote Walbert. “It takes less than 30 seconds to grate around 100g.”</p> <p>Don’t have a grater? You can try other tricks to soften butter, such as cutting them up into small chunks or setting it over a warm water bath.</p> <p>Would you try this trick? Let us know in the comments.</p> <p><em>Image: Getty</em></p>

"Grateful" Goldie Hawn reveals why she cries three times a day

<p>Goldie Hawn is struggling to come to terms with the current state of the world. The 74-year-old actress appeared on<span> </span><em>Good Morning Britain<span> </span></em>on Thursday where she spoke about how she’s handing the coronavirus pandemic.</p> <p>"The reality is that the people that really I'm worried and concerned about are the people that are actually incarcerated, or they feel that they are in their apartments," the mother of two said. "It's not a house. It doesn't have a garden they can go out into. So we're very, very lucky and I'm incredibly grateful." </p> <p>While she feels fortunate, Hawn understands the plight others are going through during these tough times.</p> <p>"What I do feel is a tremendous angst, a tremendous sadness," she said through tears. "I find that every day honestly I cry probably three times a day because it hurts me to think that there's abuse going on. There's anger going on. And it all has to do with confinement, fear, uncertainty, what's going to happen." </p> <p>But Hawn shared some advice with those watching at home, urging them to live in the moment and appreciate their current lives as best as they can.</p> <p>"If you live right now, you could enjoy these moments, they're in you," she said. </p>

This is the best way to clean your stove grates

<p>If you’ve ever spent an hour scrubbing away with abandon, trying to remove the cooked on grease and grime from your stove burners then you’ll know it’s a thankless task. Weeks/months/years of continued use means that our stove burners cop a bit of a beating and removing the build-up isn’t easy. Fortunately, there is a way to remove grease, oil and burnt on food easily and without any scrubbing required!</p> <p>The secret is all down to ammonia, the chemical compound that can be used to clean pretty much anything your home has to throw at it. The reason ammonia has the capabilities to clean as well as it does is due to its chemistry. It reacts with oils and fats, binding to them to form a soapy compound. The water contained in the ammonia then dissolves the soap so that the whole thing can be wiped away cleanly. Pretty nifty stuff.</p> <p>When it comes to cleaning your stove grates, it’s the gas that ammonia gives off that it useful. Trapping that gas with your dirty grate means that it dissolves the oil and grease.</p> <p><strong>Here’s how to do it.</strong></p> <ol> <li>Grab a ziplock bag.</li> <li>Pop your dirty stove grate inside the bag along with about ¼ cup of liquid ammonia.</li> <li>Seal the bag and leave to sit for at least 8 hours or overnight.</li> <li>Unseal the bag and wipe your grate clean. Look on in amazement as all the previous mess is. removed without the need for any scrubbing.</li> </ol> <p>Have you tried the ammonia trick?
