9 Surprisingly Good Uses For Salt

Clean Up Oven Spills Fast

Maybe you were distracted, maybe you didn’t know the recipe, or perhaps you should just stick to your day job. Whatever the reason, instead of cursing in the oven’s general direction, use this quick and easy tip to catch any spills that happen when cooking. If a dish bubbles over in the oven, pour a handful of salt on top of the mess. It won’t smell, and most importantly, will bake itself into a crust that makes the mayhem easier to clean once it’s cooled.

1. Take a fistful of table salt and throw it over the hot bubbly mess. This works for any type of oven.
   It would be smart to do this when the spill is new. Just be careful not to burn your arm.
2. Let your food continue to cook and take it out when finished.
3. Once the oven cools, you can easily wipe the oven’s floor. The salt prevents it from sticking!
   Such an easy answer for a potentially messy mistake.
