By now we all know from Czarbecue's Mayo+Brisket thread that there is no better way to cook a brisket than to first apply a generous slather of mayonnaise.
But did you know that there are 20 other ingenious uses for this amazing substance. Here are the top 5 to whet your appetite:
1. Prevent lice.
If you catch wind that head lice is going around your child’s school, apply a little mayo to their hair and comb it through. Rinse well. It will leave an oil on the hair that lice will not want to stick to, and it can also help repel current lice.
2. Repair scratched wood.
If you have a scratch in your favorite wood table or chair, apply some mayo. Rub a generous amount in the crack and it will moisturize the wood leaving the crack less noticeable. The rich fats will also help seal and fill in the crack allowing you to stain over it.
3. Remove price tags.
Don’t you hate it when you can’t get price tags off of glassware? Use a small amount of mayo on a soft cloth and wipe over the tag. Soon it will loosen and you will be able to peel it completely off.
4. Soften your hair.
Mayo makes a fantastic and frugal hair conditioner. Apply a generous amount to the dry ends of your hair and allow it to sit for 15 minutes. Rinse well and shampoo as usual. You will notice lush and moisture rich hair in no time.
5. Lessen the pain of burns.
Many people enjoy using mayo on sunburns and minor burns. Its moisturizing properties make it perfect for soothing skin and lessening the pain and redness.
