10 brilliant uses for VEGETABLE OIL

life made easy - uses of vegetable oil

1 Spoon out sticky ingredients 

Baking homemade cookies can be tricky when dealing with ingredients like honey or peanut butter that stick to the spoon. The fix: Apply a small amount of vegetable oil to a paper towel and rub it on the spoon or measuring cup before adding the honey or peanut butter. The oil creates a slick surface that helps the sticky ingredient slide right off.

2 Unstick stubborn oven racks

Your oven has seen better days, so you ran the self-cleaning feature to get it sparkling before holiday prep. The problem? Now your oven racks won’t move without some serious tugging. To help them glide smoothly, remove the racks, wipe them down with a paper towel soaked in vegetable oil and replace. The slick oil will lubricate the tracks so you can pull out the racks without a hitch.

3 Painlessly take out a splinter

The simple trick to getting a splinter out without the ouch: Soak the area with the splinter in vegetable oil for approximately 5 minutes. This will help soften the skin, making it easier to extract the splinter so you don’t experience any discomfort. Ahh!
