Because of its role in cooking, salt, in whatever form, is totally priceless. But you'd be mistaken if you believe that's all it can be used for; here are 10 unique ways to use your salt.

1. Relieve a Bee Sting

Bee stings can be treated with salt as first aid. Simply moisten the sting spot and cover it with salt.

2. Clean Tarnished Copper

In a 16-ounce spray bottle, combine hot white vinegar and three teaspoons of salt to make a cleaning solution. Spray the solution on the copper, wait a few minutes, and then rub clean.

3. Clean Up Oven Spills

If food spills into the floor or walls of your oven, add some salt on top to prevent smoke and stench from accumulating. Allow the oven to cool before removing the spillage.

4. Clean A Broken Egg

If an egg cracks on the kitchen floor, put salt on it and leave it for about 20 minutes. You'll be able to clear up the mess quickly after.

5. Set Color

If you are concerned that a dye will run, soak the garment for an hour in 1/2 gallon of water with 1/2 cup vinegar and 1/2 cup salt. Repeat until the rinse water is completely clear.

 
6. Maintain Frost-Free Windows

To use salt to keep your windows frost-free, make a salt solution and brush it on your windows with a sponge. To use this technique on your car's windshield, place salt in a small cheesecloth bag, dampen it slightly, and rub it over the glass.

7. Clean a Glass Coffee Pot

Allow your coffee pot to soak in a mixture of 1/4 cup table salt and a dozen ice cubes before cleaning it thoroughly. Allow the mixture to sit for about 30 minutes, swishing it around. Rinse with cold water.

8. Check for Rotten Eggs

You may evaluate the freshness of your eggs with a salt solution. Simply place one egg in a cup of water with two tablespoons of salt. If the egg is rotten, it will float, but if it is fresh, it will sink.

9. Keep Potatoes and Apples from Browning

It's annoying when apples and potatoes turn brown after being chopped. However, this can be avoided by simply immersing them in a cold salt/water solution.

10. Make Your Cutting Board Clean

Long-lasting stains on your cutting board are no match for the powerful cleansing power of salt. Simply cover the board with a bleach-salt solution. Then, using a hard brush, scrape the spots and rinse with very hot water. Dry with a clean cloth, and your board will be spotless!
