1. Keep onion and avocado in the same container – It will seem absurd and disgusting but, to prevent the avocado from becoming too ripe, it is necessary to keep it in a container with a quarter of onion. The result will be incredible, because the onion slows down the oxidation process.

2. How to open a coconut in the oven – Opening a coconut always requires some strength but, to avoid getting hurt with a knife, you can simplify this action. Just make a hole in the shell to let the water come out and then put it in the oven for 10-15 minutes. At this point, it will be very easy to divide it into two parts.
3. Add eggplants or potatoes to overly salted dishes – When you have added too much salt to a dish, you can remedy with a "do it yourself" method. Place some eggplants or potatoes on the dish for 10 minutes, so that they can absorb the excess salt.
