-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.

-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 are free of any trace of yolk.

-If soup is too salty, add a teaspoon each of cider vinegar and sugar, or a raw potato. Leave the potato in the soup and serve from around it.

-To render more juice from a lemon, warm it in the microwave for 30 seconds.

-While cooking fresh corn, don't salt during cooking time. It will toughen it.

-When cooking pasta to keep the water from boiling over, add a little oil.

-To remove grease from clothes: empty a can of coca-cola into a load of clothes, add detergent and run through a regular cycle. It will help loosen grease stains.
