Life hacks have become an obsession – we love discovering new tricks and sharing them.

Kitchen hacks, in particular, are among the best. Saving time in the kitchen means more time for the things you enjoy. According to a 2022 CBS News, Americans spend just over an hour a day in the kitchen. 

We've found three clever kitchen hacks to help keep your bread fresh, stop your cutting board from sliding, and tackle stubborn oily lunchboxes or containers.

1. Cleaning an oily lunchbox

Struggling with greasy containers? Try this easy hack. Place a tissue or paper towel at the bottom, add some dishwashing liquid, close the lid, and shake it up! 

The towel absorbs the oil while the soap breaks it down, leaving your container clean and ready for the next meal.

2. Slippery cutting board

Dampening a roller towel and laying it under your cutting board helps stop the board from slipping and sliding on the counter. 

After all, you need something safe and sturdy when you're using a knife.

3. Lost your bread clip? 

Here’s a clever way to keep your bread fresh without needing a clip. This one needs a visual representation, – check out the video below from TikTok that shows you how to do this and the other kitchen hacks.
