Perfectly Hard-Boiled Eggs
Itâs not uncommon for eggs to crack when theyâre put into a pot of boiling water but you can easily prevent this by adding 2 tablespoons of vinegar per quart of water before it boils. Additionally, the vinegar will help make it easier to peel the eggs later. However, some have suggested that doing so may alter the flavor so be sure not to use too much vinegar.

Lastly, treating bug bites
Purportedly, vinegar works well to minimize itching and irritation from a bug bite. Just dab the bite. However, you shouldnât do so if thereâs an open wound as that can cause burning and further irritation. Meanwhile, you can cover yourself in apple cider vinegar, or keep some nearby, while hiking, camping, or partaking in any other outdoor activities. This helps repel bugs and insects.
Salt and vinegar are a popular flavor combination for snacks like chips and pistachios. However, the combination is surprisingly versatile and there are far more uses for the dynamic duo.
