I used to think that spoons were only for eating or, at worst, for tapping on a plate to get someone’s attention at dinner.
I completely changed my mind when my neighbor opened her freezer and pulled out a solid frozen spoon.
Of course, I asked her what it was for. She smiled and said, “This little trick may sound strange, but believe me, it will change the game.” “Thanks later.”
But she was right. I always keep a spoon in the freezer now that I’ve tried it myself. Why? This simple gadget has a number of surprisingly beneficial purposes, like treating health problems and coming up with smart methods to fix things around the house.
Why do you need to freeze a spoon?
This household trick has a lot of unexpected benefits. Here are some clever ways to use a frozen spoon every day:
1.Get rid of headaches and migraines straight away.
A chilly spoon might assist with migraines and tension headaches.
What to do:
Place the ice spoon on your temples or the back of your neck.
Take it out after 5 to 10 minutes.
The cold helps with swelling and takes away pressure. To obtain a longer effect, swap between two frozen spoons.
2.Get rid of puffy eyes and dark circles.
It’s late at night? Are you not getting enough sleep? Don’t spend a lot of money on treatments if your eyes look tired. Try this easy repair instead.
How to use it:
Gently place a cold spoon on your closed eyes or under your eyes.
Put some pressure on it and hold it for a few minutes.
The cold makes your eyes look fresh by increasing blood flow and reducing swelling.
If you want to relax even more, freeze the spoon after soaking it in chamomile tea.
3.Quickly cool down heated liquids.
Do you want your coffee or tea to cool down quickly? A frozen spoon works like magic and won’t make your drink watery.
This is how it goes:
Just put the frozen spoon in your hot drink.
Stir for a few seconds, and the drink will be warm enough to consume right away.
This method also works for hot soup, which is a plus.
4.How Estimate Stuck Chewing Gum on Fabric
Do you have gum on your clothes or in your car? Don’t panic or use harsh cleaners.
Instead:
Put a frozen spoon directly on the gum.
Give the gum a few minutes to harden.
Be careful when you take it off; it won’t hurt the fabric.
If it won’t come off, carefully scrape it off using the rounded edge of the spoon.
5.Check to see if your freezer is broken while you’re away.
This might be the best way to use it. Your food could go bad if the power goes off while you’re not home.
To keep your food safe:
Fill a cup with water and freeze it all the way through.
Put a spoon on top of the ice.
If the power goes off and the ice melts, the spoon will sink. The spoon won’t be on top anymore when the freezer comes back on and everything freezes again. If you came back and discovered the spoon inside or at the bottom, you would know that someone had messed with the contents.
Tip: Do this before you go on vacation or during hurricane season.
Final Thoughts
A frozen spoon can help with a lot of things, such headaches, sleepy eyes, making drinks taste better faster, and even letting you know when your freezer is about to break.
I usually keep at least one spoon in the freezer now that I know this. You might be surprised at how often it helps if you try it yourself. Just like I did, you’ll wonder how you ever got by without it.
