Tips
-
Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent
ice cream drips.
-
Use a meat baster to "squeeze" your pancake batter onto the hot
griddle-perfect shaped pancakes every time.
-
To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the
potatoes.
-
To prevent egg shells from cracking, add a pinch of salt to the water
before hard-boiling.
-
Run your hands under cold water before pressing Rice Krispies treats in
the pan-the marshmallow won't stick to your fingers.
-
To get the most juice out of fresh lemons,
bring them to room
temperature and roll them under your palm against the kitchen counter
before squeezing.
-
To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet,
simply add a drop or
two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to a
boil on stove-top-skillet will be much easier to clean now.
-
Spray your Tupperware with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in
tomato-based sauces-no more stains.
-
When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan,
use a bit of the
dry cake mix instead-no white mess on the outside of the cake.
-
If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still cooking,
drop in a
peeled potato-it absorbs the excess salt for an instant "fix me up".
-
Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator-it will
keep for weeks.
-
Brush beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a
beautiful, glossy finish.
Place a slice of apple in hardened brown sugar to soften it back up.
-
When boiling corn on the cob,
add a pinch of sugar to help bring out the
corns natural sweetness.
-
To determine whether an egg is fresh,
immerse it in a pan of cool,
salted water. If it sinks, it is fresh-if it rises to the surface, throw
it away.

Cure for headaches:
Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your
forehead. The throbbing will go.

Try using latex dishwashing gloves.
They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.

try applying soap on the area for

Ants, ants, ants everywhere ...
Well, they are said to never cross a

wherever ants tend to march-see for yourself.

Use air-freshener to clean mirrors:
It does a good job and better still,
leave a lovely smell to the shine.
-
When you get a splinter,
reach for the scotch tape before resorting to
tweezers or a needle. Simply put the scotch tape over the splinter, then
pull
it off. Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly and easily.
-
NOW Look what you can do with Alka Seltzer:
Clean a toilet. Drop in two
Alka-Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes, brush, and flush. The citric
acid and effervescent action clean vitreous china.
-
Clean a vase.
To remove a stain from the bottom of a glass vase or
cruet, fill with water and drop in two Alka-Seltzer tablets.
-
Polish jewelry.
Drop two Alka-Seltzer tablets into a glass of water and
immerse the jewelry for two minutes.
-
Clean a thermos bottle.
Fill the bottle with water, drop in four
Alka-Seltzer tablets, and let soak for an hour (or longer, if
necessary).
-
Unclog a drain.
Clear the sink drain by dropping three Alka-Seltzer
tablets down the drain followed by a cup of Heinz White Vinegar. Wait a
few minutes, then run the hot water.
-
If your VCR has a year setting on it, which most do, you will not be
able to use the programmed recording feature after 12/31/99. Don't throw
it away. Instead set it for the year 1972 as the days are the same as
the year 2000. The manufacturers won't tell you. They want you to buy a
new Y2K VCR
