Wine corks are most often made from cork oak bark. To produce such an item, it often takes up to 25 years. The bark of such an aged tree is removed, which can be processed only after about 10 years. But that's not all. After debarking, you have to wait another six months, because only after this time can the actual production of corks begin. They are true works of art.
However, their use in creating decorations and embellishing furniture is already well known. And did you know that a cork is also a useful item in the kitchen, especially during the Christmas season? It's about the production of a dish that almost everybody loves.
Cork for the stew. And problem solved?
Hunter's stew. Have you ever managed to burn it? Everyone who has made it at least once knows that this dish requires a lot of patience, and even so, accidents can happen in the kitchen - like burning this holiday treat.
Corks are actually the lifesaver! Yes, these seemingly insignificant objects will save your already burnt stew. All you need to do is transfer it to another container (without the burnt parts), put a wine cork in there, and bring it to a boil. Have several corks? Even better for the stew. The wood is perfect for removing the unpleasant smell of burning.
Thanks to wine corks, you can also save other, scorched dishes. This information may be particularly helpful during the upcoming Christmas holidays, as well as other family celebrations.
