  2. If you don’t want apples to rot after you bought them so much money when you buy the apples keep the apples separate from each other so they stay fresh for long time.
  3. If you don’t want bugs in your upma rava put it in air tight container and keep it in the fridge.
  4. If you don’t want your eyes to water when you’re cutting onions put half of the onion in water and then cut it. So your eyes don’t water.
  5. If your knife loses sharp ness add salt to half a lemon and rub it on the knife so its stays sharp
