We're bringing you our favorite MacKID mom hacks in the kitchen! We'll show you some simple, step-by-step instructions on how to make some of the more mundane tasks moms and dads do on a daily basis in the kitchen a little simpler, quicker, easier ... and possibly a bit more fun. 

Our kitchen hacks include:

  • Cutting a mango quickly and mess free.
  • Slicing a bunch of grapes in half, all at one time -- the technique works with cherry tomatoes too!
  • Keeping apples from browning -- no chemicals and they taste like candy.
  • Removing the hull of a strawberry, for a perfectly presentable berry. 
  • Peeling and serving a clementine or mandarin orange
