Of course, we'd rather do the cooking for you. But if you do happen to find yourself in the kitchen, we hope these tips will help!

1. Tired of spaghetti sauce-stained plastic containers? Spray them with nonstick cooking spray first to prevent this food stain faux pas.
2. Garlic fingers be gone! Zap garlic cloves in the microwave for 15 seconds and the peels will slide right off.
3. Coat your measuring spoons with cooking spray first, to avoid ingredients sticking. (Unless you prefer to lick them clean.)
4. Raise a rubber glove if you're tired of cleaning stubborn skillets. Remove the burned on food easily by adding a drop or two of dish soap, enough water to cover the bottom of the skillet, then bring to a boil. Life just got easier.
5. Soften up hard crumbly brown sugar by placing a piece of bread in the bag.
6. Good egg or bad egg: If the egg sinks in a pan of cool, salted water, it's fresh. If it rises to the surface, get the stinker out of your kitchen!
7. The root of the onion lasts longer, so save that leftover half for another meal.
8. If washing your plastic containers still isn't getting rid of that odor, crumple a piece of newspaper inside and the smell should be gone like yesterday's news.
9. The perfectionist pancake-maker uses a meat baster every time.
10. Boil-overs are no fun. To prevent this messy mishap, just apply a thin coat of cooking oil around the top of the inside of pots.
