When replacing countertops, get the ones that have the drip free edge. They are wonderful in the case that you spill a large amount of liquid.

Honey, syrup,liquier bottles and other sticky substances can get sticky on the lips of the bottles and if not used frequently, the caps can stick and become very hard to open. I have discovered that if you clean the lip and cap of the bottle and then spray the lip with nonstick kitchen spray, the bottle will open easily next time you want to use it.

Crumble uncooked ramen noodles to top a salad. Also put all salad ingredients into zip lock bag, add a small amount of salad dressing & shake inside the bag before dividing into individual bowls. This cuts calories from fatty dressing.

Instead of buying precooked bacon, buy 2 or 3 pounds of thick bacon and cook on a cookie sheet in the oven for 15 minutes and freeze it. It microwaves well and can be taken on camping trips for easy reheating and not all the bacon grease.

To remove the odor after cutting an onion, rub your hands over a stainless steel spoon or a stainless steel kitchen faucet.

Many people object to chopping onions because it takes time and makes you cry and this is a shame as loads of dishes require chopped onion as a basis. So to avoid this task every time you cook, take 20 onions or so, chop them all and freeze them in a plastic bag. Any time a recipe requires onion, just take a handful out of the freezer.

Its very useful to have frozen sauce 'bases' as a means by which to construct certain dishes in minimal time. In your freezer its good to have unseasoned flavourless white sauce (in small portion sizes) that you can defrost and add cocoa for chocolate sauce, cheese for a cheese sauce for lasagne, macaroni etc. Also have tomato sauce base (passata, tomato puree, olive oil, chopped peppers, onion, basil etc) this can too be defrosted in microwave and used to create a soup, coq au vin, bolognese pasta sauce or whatever.

Brown a batch of ground meat and put in quart size freezer bags and freeze. They help keep your other food cold and then add spagetti sauce one day, chili, tacos, sloppy joes, or hot dog sauce. It saves you the messy step of browning your meat.

To clean a tea cup that is stained, simply wet the cup, sprinkle in about 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and rub gently with a paper towel. I've cleaned cups at work like this and people can't believe it!
