When I wash vegetables (especially leafy spinach or swiss chard) or fruit, I fill the kitchen sink with cold water and add baking soda. I move the vegetables around in the water and then let them soak for about 3 minutes. Then rinse. This procedure has all the dirt sink to the bottom, then rinse again and all is ready to use. Fruit will look much brighter.

I used to use a pastry blender when making deviled eggs too but it wasn't smooth enough to pipe into the whites so now I use a box grater to get the yolks fine and smooth and there's no clogging when I pipe them. I also use the box grater when making egg salad, no lumps!

If your on a low carb WOE, and miss having fried chicken. After some various experiments I have found that If you get some plain pork rinds and crush them up, add in your italian herbs and spices or what-have-you, this makes an EXCELLENT subsitute for the traditional breadcrumbs and cornmeal. And many people I have told this too actually prefer it over traditional style because more often than not its crunchier.

To prevent bacon from curling up in the pan during frying, pierce raw bacon with a fork or knife down each slice before frying. You can poke several slices at a time.
