Why You Should Always Keep a Spoon in the Freezer: It’s Not What You Think

3. Cool hot drinks without diluting them

We’ve all been there: the tea is too hot, the coffee burns, and there’s no time to wait.

The solution:
Dip a frozen teaspoon into the cup and stir. It chills the drink faster than you think, without diluting it like ice would.

 Also great with soup.

4. Remove chewing gum stuck to fabric – Quick

If you’ve ever found crushed chewing gum on your car seat, jeans, or carpet, you know the horror. No need to panic, and no need to use harsh chemicals.

Here’s the trick:
Place a frozen spoon on the gum. After a few minutes, it hardens. Use the edge of the spoon to gently scrape the gum without damaging the fabric.

   Tip:   This method also works on candle wax stains!
