There is more than one way to skin a cat—and to open a can. Obviously, using a can opener is first choice. But if you find yourself without one, there is still a way to crack the case.

A Spoon

Chances are you will need a spoon to eat whatever is in the tin, so you may as well use it to get the thing open. Holding the can firmly on a stable surface, place the edge of a spoon against the rim of the can’s lid. Apply pressure while moving the spoon around the edge until it weakens. 

A Stone

Tap into your inner caveman (or woman) by using a flat stone to pry open the can. Create friction by running the stone along the edge of the lid in an attempt to make a hole. This method also works with an abrasive surface like rough concrete, but it does require a fair amount of patience. 

Heat

You know that sensation of anger bubbling in your body and feeling like you might burst? This method uses the same principle. Place the can in the flames of a fire or in a pot of boiling water. The heat will cause the liquid inside to expand and create pressure, eventually forcing the lid to pop open.

There are so many different hacks and advice people give to become a better cook, but normally it stays within the realm of kitchen tools or techniques. But, there are some wackier things out there that are also super useful, so check them out and try them for yourself!

Hairdryer

Go into your bathroom, get out your hairdryer, and plug it into your kitchen. Why? So you can get the crispiest chicken skin of your life.

Flabby chicken skin is such a sad sight, and even if you blot it for days with a paper towel, it still can come out not so crispy. Instead, whip out your hairdryer to dry it out and you’ll see how crispy that skin will become.

Rubber Gloves

Besides keeping your hands dry when you wash dishes, rubber gloves are perfect for shucking corn and getting off all the silk! Instead of spending forever trying to get it out of your teeth, just throw on some rubber gloves and they’ll be none left.

Washing Machine

While this next one isn’t directly related to cooking, it’s in reference to hosting parties. Instead of cramming your fridge with drinks and sodas for guests, put ice into your washing machine and store your drinks in there! When the party is done, just run the machine and it’ll all drain out.

Sometimes you can feel defeated if you don’t have the kitchen tool you need to make a certain recipe. But, luckily there are substitutions, which you probably already own, to carry you through!

Rolling Pin

Unless you’re someone who bakes a lot, you probably don’t have a rolling pin on hand! But, if you’re in the mood for some biscuits or pie dough, don’t fret, you can always use a wine bottle! Whether it’s full or empty, the round shape will get the job done in no time.

Whisk

A whisk is essential for things like pancake batter, making fluffy eggs, but not everyone owns one. The best way to get by without a whisk is to take two forks and tie them together with a rubber band! You can also attach a protein bottle mixer to a fork and use that as a whisk as well.

Citrus Reamer

Whenever you’re using citrus in large quantities like for pies, salad dressings, or marinades, you don’t want to do it by hand. If you don’t have a citrus reamer handy, all you need are some tongs! Just cut the citrus you’re using in half and use the tongs to squeeze out all the juice in a snap.

There are so many types of blenders out there, and if you are worried about which one fits you best, this is the guide for you!

Stick Blender

Also known as a hand blender or an immersion blender, a stick blender is a very specific kind of blender for some people’s lifestyles. Stick blenders are perfect if you are someone who loves to make soups, sauces, or anything that needs to come out really smooth. Stick blenders are really useful because you can blend everything in the vessel it’s cooked in.

Standard Blender

If you love to start your day with smoothies, protein shakes, or you just occasionally love a milkshake, a standard blender is just right for you. The standard blender can really do a lot for you without having to spend a lot of money on another appliance.

Food Processor

A food processor is perfect if you love to cook a lot. With a food processor, you can make different nut butters, dips, no-meat nuggets, pie dough; the list really goes on and on. If you are someone who adores throwing things into one machine and letting it rip, food processors are perfect for you.

An electric hand mixer is a tool that every cook should have around; whether you need to whip up some frosting for cupcakes or the cupcake batter itself, an electric hand mixer is the easiest way to do it all. But, there are some ways to use the mixer and the beaters by themselves that you would have never thought of. Here are three things you never thought you could make with your electric hand mixer.

Kiwi Slices

The best and worst part of a fruit salad is the peeling the kiwi and chopping up the meat. Now, you don’t have to! Just cut the kiwi in half, use one of the beaters from the mixer to cut it into sections, and twist until they become loose. Dump into a bowl with other fruit and the party is on!

Shredded Chicken

No need to use two forks to shred your chicken for taco night, just go in with your electric hand mixer and it does all the heavy lifting for you.

Veggie Dip

Trying to mix cream cheese by hand is difficult and tedious. Instead, when you make your veggie dips, use your electric hand mixer and you’ll be done in no time.
