when boiling potatoes, leave a wooden spoon across the top of the pot to prevent boiling over. i have no idea why but it works.
pull everything out and measure it before you start. it really takes less time and easier to clean.
wash while you wait. time to lean means you have time to clean.
put a wet towel underneath the cutting board to stop sliding.
always cook for the minimum time, check, then cook longer.
for moister brownies and cakes, add another egg.
after hard boiling eggs put them in a pan with cold water to cover and shake side to side. breaks shells for easy peeling.
