Oh, vinegar, is there anything you can’t do? Once upon a time, I used to have a small bottle of plain old distilled vinegar in my pantry. I’d use some on my french fries, I’d use it to pickle some vegetables, and I’d use it every now and then in a recipe. It’s a staple ingredient that you always want to have around but to be perfectly honest, I never really used it that much. But these days, I always have a gigantic Costco-size jug of the stuff in my home and I use it all the time. Why? Because I discovered that vinegar is household rockstar and can be used for so much more than culinary purposes.
