Cooking is no laughing matter! Although it serves as a wonderful means to save money and serve your family wholesome meals, it can become quite overwhelming at times. Especially if it's not your favorite pastime.

Thankfully, we have found ways to make your cooking experience just a tad bit easier. Discover these ingenious cooking hacks that will make you wonder why you were not aware of them earlier! Many of these food hacks save time and money, and sometimes they allow you to utilize a kitchen gadget in a new and fascinating manner. So, what are you waiting for? Let's get started!

1. Before preparing chicken nuggets, frozen potatoes, or any similar dishes, make sure you crinkle the foil. With this, flipping becomes a breeze, and food won't stick.

2. Want to prolong the freshness of your avocado? Simply store it in the refrigerator alongside an onion. The sulfur released by the onion initiates a chemical process that shields the avocado's enzymes from oxygen, ensuring it stays free from browning.

3. Tomato paste made easy with a clever hack! Just open both ends of the can and gently squeeze to release the contents.

4. Silicone coffee lids are a perfect fit for many tinned products

5. Prolong the shelf life of cilantro and keep it looking fresh for weeks with this nifty trick: lay a paper towel at the bottom of a container, rinse and untie the cilantro, layer another paper towel on top, and securely seal the container. It will remain fresh even after two weeks!

6. Save time and effort mincing garlic by using a meat tenderizer! Simply lay the garlic on a ziplock bag and give it four to five gentle hits, and that's it!

7. To maintain the freshness of your salad for several days, just place a paper towel beneath the lid to absorb excess moisture. The picture on the right is on day four.

8. A cheese grater can be really useful when you have to spread cold butter on cold things or in pie dough.

9. Fold the lunch meat over the tomatoes to keep them from falling out and prevent soggy sandwiches

10. No cake dome? Not a problem! Just invert a plastic container and make it your cake storage solution.

11. Use a tea infuser to add herbs to stocks, stews, and sauces. It's great for getting the most out of the broken bay leaf fragments at the bottom of the bag.

12. Reuse empty sriracha containers as twist-top cooking-oil dispensers for more control when using oil in recipes or to grease a pan.

13. Take advantage of a lemon juicer to create the ideal smashed potatoes with an added crispy edge
