Main ingredient of most Brazilians' dishes for lunch and dinner, rice has many other uses besides cooking. It helps keep your feet warm, rescues electronic gadgets, assists with cleaning work and even entertains your pet. Here are some other unusual and different ways to use rice:
1. Clean dirty vases and bottles
Vessels and bottles with unusual or ski openings are difficult to clean. But rice can make this task easier. Put two spoons of rice and pour hot water. Then shake a lot, spill and rinse. You will see how they look clean.
2. Rescue wet electronics
It is not uncommon to drop a device into the water. If this happens, you need not despair. Remove the battery and bury the appliance in a pile of rice for a while. Then put everything in place and it will work perfectly.
3. Make a pet toy
This tip is easy. Make a small cloth pouch and fill it with a combination of rice and a little bit of the plant called catnip. Animals, especially felines, have a great time!
4. Clean up coffee dirt
Coffee machines are always full of small waste, no matter how clean you are. Rice can help as it magically absorbs accumulated waste. Even many large companies use this trick!
5. Check if the oil is hot
Are you going to prepare some frying? Try using rice to find out if the oil is already at the correct temperature. Just leave a grain of rice and if it starts cooking, it is because the oil is ready to fry.
6. Keep salt separate
This is a well-known tactic and even used in restaurants. Just put a few grains of rice in the salt shaker so that the salt is always loose.
7. Leave ripe fruits quickly
Sometimes you buy a still green fruit and it takes a while for it to ripen. But if stored in a container of raw rice, this process can be accelerated. Remember to check at what point the fruit is twice a day to prevent it from becoming too ripe. And then you can usually use rice.
8. Warm up from the cold
Make a small bag of natural fabric, such as cotton or wool, fill with some rice, and sew it shut. Okay, you just made a heating pad. If you don't have the ability to sew it, you can do it even with an old sock. When ready, microwave for a few minutes and it will be hot for up to an hour.
9. Brighten the skin
The water used to cook rice can be an ally of beauty. If left over, remove it and refrigerate until cool. Then use to wash the skin by applying it with a damp cloth and rinsing normally. The results are even better if you use brown rice, which has vitamin E and will brighten the skin. Water should only be used within three days.
