Salt, an indispensable ingredient in our lives, goes beyond its culinary use and offers valuable assistance in various household chores. UAportal told you about two useful life hacks using salt that may pleasantly surprise you.

The knife

Over time, knives often lose their sharpness, which makes the cutting process less efficient and more troublesome. Instead of simplifying the sharpening process, try this simple method.

Simply dip the knife into a bowl of salted water. This preliminary step can make the sharpening process much easier.

Mushrooms

For beginners diving into mushroom picking, it is very important to distinguish edible varieties from toxic ones. If you sprinkle a small amount of salt on the freshly cut surface of a mushroom, the inedible one will turn yellow. Remember that all doubts about mushroom consumption should be taken seriously, and it is safer to refrain from eating any suspicious mushrooms.
