Baking:  Unless otherwise specified, always preheat the oven at least 20 minutes before baking.
Browning:  For best results in browning food in a skillet, dry food first on paper towels.
Measuring: Always measure accurately.  Level dry ingredients with top of a cup, or knife edge or spoon handle.  Measure liquids in cup so that the fluid is level with the top of the measuring line.  Measure solid shortening by packing it firmly.

Exodus 17:11,12         And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
              V.12  But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
