Sand Storage, the Best Storage

The best way you store ginger is to leave it in sand. I know it sounds weird, but ginger does best in a dry environment. And what's a dryer environment than sand? It can last indefinitely stored in sand.

Peeling a Ginger

I was shocked to hear and see a spoon being used to peel the skin of ginger. The first time I tried it, it was a miserable failure. But the second time, I was able to use it with ease. Try it. If it works well for you, your knives won't dull. And if you're lazy like me, you won't waste as much ginger by cutting chunks off along with the skin. Use it as though you're scooping the ginger out and bring the spoon towards you. It's surprisingly effortless. Plus, it's a great and safe way to involve children in the kitchen without any risks.
