We use a lot of vinegar in our house. We use it for canning, cooking and cleaning. We use white vinegar for cleaning and for canning. We use apple cider vinegar for canning and cooking. We use balsamic vinegar for cooking. My daughter and I like a mix of 1 tbls of balsamic vinegar 1 tbls fresh lemon juice salt and pepper and olive oil on grilled veggies like asparagus, green and red peppers, onions, and squash. How doou use vinegar? What kinds do you use? A simple cleaning solution can be made with diluted white vinegar. It is safe, and enviromentally friendly.

I do use quite a bit of vinegar for both cooking and cleaning. Have you ever made a vinegar pie?

I LOVE vinegar! I use it for hot German potato salad and to pickle foods. I also use it to make sweet and sour cabbage! I even use it to clean the windows, as it does not leave streaks and it works!

I generally only use balsamic vinegar for cooking. And I use white vinegar to clean the rabbit litterboxes when they get buildup from the rabbit urine.

We seldom use vinegar for cleaning but i remember when i was a kid, mom use do that. the most common usage of vinegar at home now is seasoning, in cooking and dips in meals like with fried fish or other meat. it is good with soy sauce and chili. thanks for reminding vinegar as a cleaning agent.

Oh I love apple cider vinegar added to honey in glass of water. It makes a good drink to combat cough. I like white vinegar to soak my yellowish white clothes for it surely will resolve the problem. I love cane vinegar for my favorite native food "paksiw na bangus". I also love to soak milfish in vinegar and garlic before frying and oh it will turn so tasty. I love to add a tablespoon of white vinegar to my bath to give me a refreshing finish. I use white vinegar to clean my sink because it is environment friendly. I love vinegar with garlic as sauce for crispy friend 'lumpia'. Well surely I like vinegar and will always like it

When the dishes or soup is thick, i will use some vinegar. Some time we use it as dipping sauce with smashed garlic in it. Actually moderate amount of vinger help keep a good appetite and digest easily. When stir fry dishest, some vineger help the vegetabele crisp if you like this kind of taste.
