You can prevent pasta from boiling over while cooking by rubbing a small amount of butter or shortening around the rim of the pan. It really works. No need to add oil to the water and have all that wonderful sauce run off.

What is my most used kitchen tool? My scissors. I use them for cutting anything everything -- spring onions (scallions), celery leaves and tips, parsley; chopping large lettuce into smaller pieces; cutting steak, lamb backstraps, or chicken breasts into strips for stir frys; trimming bread or cheese slices; chopping mushrooms and mint. Buy a sharp pair and keep it for food only. Cutting paper, cardboard and plastic will make your scissors blunt.

Store coffee in the freezer. It keeps the coffee fresh from the first to last cup. Put enough coffee into small snack size zip lock bags to make 8 cups, then store them in the freezer. It's a little extra work when you first do it, but saves time when you're in a hurry. When you're down to the last couple of bags you know it's time to buy more.
