Uses of White Vinegar for Cooking and Food Preparation
Make the Most of Condiments
When you get down to the end of the jar of mayonnaise, mustard, catsup, or salad dressing clinging to the jar, add a few drops of white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or wine vinegar and shake. The remaining condiments are slightly diluted and able to be poured out.
Make a Fruit and Vegetable Wash
Mix up a vinegar solution to use for washing fresh fruits and vegetables.
The vinegar dissolves wax that may be coating the surface and removes pesticide residues. Rinse the vegetables and fruits thoroughly with warm water.
Keep Your Cheese Fresh Longer
Soak a clean cloth in vinegar and use it to wrap your cheese. The vinegar-soaked cloth keeps the cheese from drying out and prevents mold from growing on the surface. Once wrapped, place the cheese in an airtight container and refrigerate..
