Helps

- When using muffin tins, if you find you don't have enough batter to fill all the cups, pour a little water into empty ones. This will prevent the pan from scorching.

- Don't throw away stale bread; cut it up and use it for croutons or breadcrumbs.

- When baking a pie, if you find your crust is browning too fast,  wrap strips of tin foil around the edge of the pie to slow down the browning.

- When making muffins, avoid over-mixing. Use a spoon to mix the batter; never use an electric mixer.

- When making meringue, always have the egg whites at room temperature, and be sure they're free of any trace of yolk. Make sure the bowl and beaters are spotless and totally free of grease. For extra-fluffy meringues, add 1/4 tsp. vinegar to 3 egg whites.

- To remove grease from clothes, empty a can of Coca-Cola into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle.
