If you stick chopsticks in ‘here’ and use them, the nuisance will easily disappear!

4 Useful Ways to Use Chopsticks

Are you just using chopsticks for meals? Today, I will share four surprisingly useful ways to utilize chopsticks in the kitchen. These are ways to use chopsticks effectively for purposes other than eating.

Separating the lid

 

There are times when you need to separate and recycle the lids of items like vinegar, cooking oil, and corn syrup. Typically, these types of lids are designed not to detach easily. Therefore, no matter how hard you try to remove them by hand, they won't come off easily.

 

Now, try inserting chopsticks into the opening and using the lever principle to remove the lid. You will see the lid come off easily. If the opening is large, it is convenient to remove it using the back of a spoon in the same way.

Put into the funnel

Do you use a funnel to transfer rice or beans into a bottle for storage? If the funnel hole is large, the contents pass through easily, but if it is narrow, the hole gets clogged and the contents do not flow down easily.

 

In this case, try inserting chopsticks into a funnel and pouring the contents in. The liquid will flow down the chopsticks, allowing you to easily transfer it without it getting clogged.

Making a simple stand

These days, people tend to look at their smartphones a lot while cooking or working in the kitchen. The problem is that there isn't a suitable place to rest it, so it isn't easy to look at.

 

In this case, first prepare a roll of toilet paper. Insert a chopstick into the core of the toilet paper roll.

Place your smartphone on the chopstick part. This creates an easily portable smartphone stand. It is also small, making it very convenient to move around.

 

When organizing chopsticks

Do you match the chopsticks one by one by hand when you finish washing the dishes and organize them? It is fine when there are only a few chopsticks, but if there are many, it takes quite a bit of time.

Now, place the chopsticks on the cutting board as shown in the picture. Then, push them outwards. The relatively heavier top part of the chopsticks will fall to the floor first. Try arranging the remaining part with your hand.

 

If you organize them this way, you can easily and quickly organize even a large quantity of chopsticks.
