pot. There is however, a way to stop this from happening. Simply place a
wooden spoon across the top of your pot.

measure, and the oil will make it slide off so that your measuring spoon
is easy to clean.

Save time by making your citrus fruit easier to peel. Throw your fruit
in the microwave for 20 seconds and watch the peel slide right off.

cups? Fear not, you can still make your muffins. Use parchment paper
instead, for a thrifty, economical solution.

grip on it. If you need more help, use a dishtowel over the rubberband
top.

angle. Then use a knife to slice downward. The pan will collect the
kernels, ready for cooking.
