1) To determine whether an egg is fresh,immerse it in a pan of cool,salted water.If it sinks,it is fresh.If it float on the surface,throw it away.
2) Potatoes will take food stains off your fingers.Just slice and rub raw potato on the stains and rinse with water.
3) If you have a problem opening jars. Try using dish washing gloves.They give a non - slip grip that makes opening jars easy.
4) To get rid of the smell of eggs in the cakes, add one tablespoon honey to the cake batter while beating it.
5) To keep cauliflower white while cooking - add a little milk to the water.

KITCHEN TIPS
From Today I will give you 10 Kitchen Tips everyday that I know.I hope that could help you.
1) 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.
2) If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato.It absorbs the excess salt.
3) Always fry onions in a little oil and pinch of salt.When it turns brown then grind.
4) 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.
5) To keep lemon fresh put them in water and store in refrigerator.
6) To peel garlic ,fry on hot pan for few seconds peel will come out very easily.
7) To peel the almonds easily, keep them covered in boiling water for 5 min.
8) For soft idlies like a sponge do not stir the batter after it has got fermented.Pour the batter as it is!
9) When the noodles are boiled, drain all the hot water and add cold water.This way all the noodles will get separated!
10) Keep karela(bitter guard) in water and add pinch of salt or marinate karela(bitter guard) with salt for 1/2 hour to remove the bitterness of it.
