1. When chopsticks
Chopsticks are an indispensable tool in our daily meals, if you have an old thermos cup, you can use it as a chopstick holder, and put the chopsticks that are not used or often used into the thermos cup.
This keeps the chopsticks neat and clean, and easy to reach. The shape and size of the thermos cup are very suitable for the chopstick holder, it presents a cylindrical body, and has a certain sealing, which can prevent the chopsticks from getting wet.
You can keep the thermos mug on the dining table or on the cutlery rack for you to use at any time. If it is chopsticks that are not commonly used, and the length of the thermos cup is long and the chopsticks are short, you can directly close the lid.
2. Store for seasoning
Usually when we cook, we must have all kinds of dry food seasoning, right? For example, some bags of peppercorns, star anise, etc., are good assistants when cooking.
However, if these seasonings are not stored properly, they can easily get damp, change the flavor, lose their aroma, and affect the taste of the dish.
They need to be stored in a dry, cool place, and a thermos mug is a good storage space. You can wash and dry the thermos cup and put some small packets of seasoning directly into it.
The tightness of the thermos cup can prevent the seasoning from getting wet, and the constant temperature of the thermos cup can maintain the aroma of the seasoning.
The capacity of the thermos cup can also meet your needs, of course, you have to pay attention to some things, such as being sure to wait until the internal environment of the thermos cup is completely dry before putting the condiments in.
Secondly, pay attention to check the seasoning situation at all times, check the shelf life of the seasoning, and replace the expired seasoning in time.
3. As an ornament
Some friends who particularly like the sense of ceremony, in order to show the interest of life, will put some dried flowers or flowers at home to decorate the home environment.
If there are unwanted dried flowers at home, then you can use them to put them in a thermos cup, and then put them in the kitchen, and the kitchen will be upgraded to a higher level in an instant.
Dried flowers can add some color and atmosphere to the kitchen and can also make your mood more pleasant.
You can also change different dried flowers according to the seasons and festivals, so that your kitchen changes over time.
I am also a person who likes to decorate every part of my home in a warm and beautiful way, such as occasionally buying some flowers and pasting some wallpaper to decorate the environment of my home.
Put the dried flowers directly in the thermos cup, and even put stickers on the outside of the thermos cup to make the thermos cup look better.
4. Store sugar
White sugar is an essential ingredient in our daily life, it can make our drinks and desserts more delicious, and it can also give us energy.
However, the storage of white sugar is also a headache, if it is not stored properly, it will easily melt water and deteriorate, and some will even attract some sweet cockroaches and ants.
Therefore, the storage environment of white sugar is very critical, it needs to be stored in a dry, cool and sealed place, so the thermos cup can act as a "heavy duty" for storing white sugar.
You only need to wash and dry the thermos cup, and then put the sugar in it, and you must cover the cup at this time, otherwise if you accidentally touch it, the sugar will be spilled out.
