Tame a wild BBQ
Toss in some salt on the flames caused by fat dripping from the grill. It will reduce the fire and calm the smoke without cooling the coals as water would. Salt is a suitable means to suppress flames and flare-ups without cooling the coals. It’s something that could be used to calm the fire down without adding steam like water can, and is a safe, known compound so you wouldn’t be risking getting something harmful on the meat. Another bit of info we found out is that when cooking with Japanese Binchotan charcoal, chefs will throw rock salt at the coals to knock off the white ash around them, exposing more of the red hot surface.
Drip-proof candles
Candles are a simple way to add a decorative touch to a room’s look. They’re great to have around for cold nights, and they can help keep any place smelling great. Plus, they can be unique gifts! But while candles look lovely in your home, they also come with their own set of problems. Don’t want hot and messy wax dripping on your furniture? We have a saltwater way out! You can make your candle “dripless” by soaking it in a simple solution of water and salt. Dissolve salt into water until it doesn’t dissolve anymore. Immerse your candles into this mix, and let them soak for a few hours. Take them out and dry them off entirely before you use them!
