1) If a soup or stew is too salty, add raw potato chunks. Discard them after they have cooked -- they will have absorbed the salt.
2) Can't remember if an egg is fresh or hard-boiled? Just spin the egg. If it wobbles, it's raw. If it spins easily, it's hard boiled.
3) To avoid crying while peeling onions, peel them under cold water.
4) To perk up soggy lettuce, add lemon juice to a bowl of cold water and soak lettuce for an hour in the refrigerator.
5) When cooking carrots, peas, or corn, add a small amount of sugar to the water to keep the flavor.
6) To keep sweet corn yellow, add one teaspoon of lemon juice to the cooking water just about a minute before turning off the stove. Also, never salt the water you cook corn in. It will toughen the corn.
7) To soften rock-hard brown sugar, simply add a slice of soft bread to the package and close the bag tightly. In a few hours, the sugar will be soft again.
8) Remove fat from soups and stews by dropping ice cubes into the pot. The fat will cling to the cubes as you stir. Take out the cubes before they melt so as not to affect the taste of stew.
