Grill Tips: How To Make the Perfect Burger

Grilling the perfect burger isn’t rocket science, but it also requires a bit of skill in front of the grill. Burgers are not a set-it and forget-it meal, but with a little care and a few tips, you can make the tastiest burgers around this summer. Here is a bit of help.

Get the right beef: try to grab an 80/20 beef to fat meat for a juicier flavor that won’t dry out. Also try to cook the burgers with high heat to make a juiciest burger possible.

Forming the patties: don’t just make flat patties because they will fall apart. Instead grab six ounces of ground beef and roll them into balls and flatten them out a bit.

Flip once: most of us love to constantly flip our burger meats. However, that will only cause the patty to fall apart. Let the meat grill and flip only once.

How To Create the Perfect Summer Centerpiece In Your Santa Ana Apartment

Creating a upscale summer look in your apartment doesn’t have to cost an arm-and-a-leg and only takes a little elbow grease and some DIY skill. If you are looking to mix things up in your apartment for the summer, the easiest place to start is with an eye popping centerpiece which you can place on your kitchen table or side tables in the living room (if you don’t have a side table, run out and get some).

One fun trend that will be popping up this summer is an edible centerpiece. Grab a clear vase and put some distilled water inside and add a vegetable with its leafy green steams still attached. Try carrots. The visual of carrots in a glass vase will look stunning and add a great summer vibe to your table. You can also fill the vase with apples, tomatoes or anything other edible object you like.

Awesome Spring Cleaning Hacks

Spring cleaning isn’t on the top of most people’s today list, unless you absolutely love cleaning, but it’s still something that has to be done. If you are planning to spring clean over the new few weeks, here are three hacks for making thing easier:

Sponge care: if you only have one sponge and no time to get another one, disinfect it by ringing it out and putting it in the microwave on high for one minute.

 

Garbage disposal: throw lemon peels, salt and ice into the disposal. The lemon will work on the smell, while the salt and ice will get rid of the grime and gunk.

 

Wax the stove top: after you have completely cleaned your stove top, but some car wax on it. The wax will not only keep it shiny, but also make cleaning it after easier.
