Brilio.net - Turmeric is a kitchen spice that not only functions as a flavoring, but also provides a natural yellow color to food. The use of turmeric can increase the visual appeal of dishes through the yellow pigment it produces. However, this spice also has quite troublesome properties.
When peeling or slicing turmeric using a knife , it often leaves yellow stains that are difficult to remove on kitchen utensils. This is caused by the curcumin content in turmeric which can dissolve in water, so cleaning in the usual way is not effective in removing these stains.
Luckily, a social media user named Widi Raharja has shared a practical solution to overcome the problem of turmeric stains on knives.
In one of his YouTube videos, he shared a tutorial on how to clean a knife that is full of turmeric stains. To practice this method, you only need to prepare one cooking spice, namely Javanese sugar.
"Well, this will be difficult to clean if you only use regular dishwashing soap. It can even stick to the sponge used. Use this one ingredient, namely Javanese sugar or palm sugar ," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Widi Raharja on Thursday (12/12).

No need to wet it first, rub the turmeric stains on the surface of the knife using Javanese sugar. Do it slowly so that the Javanese sugar does not break.
"It appears that the turmeric stain has faded, which was previously sticky," he said further.

Rub the Javanese sugar until the entire surface of the knife is clean again. Once you feel it is enough, immediately rinse the knife under running water.
"Rinse the knife while scrubbing it with a sponge until it is completely clean," he said.
