Use a meat baster to "squeeze" your pancake batter onto the hot griddle - perfect shaped pancakes every time!
Always spray your grill with non-stick cooking spray before grilling to avoid sticking.
To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes!
To prevent egg shells from cracking, add a pinch of salt to the water before hard-boiling!
Sweeten whipped cream with confectioners' sugar instead of granulated sugar - it will stay fluffy and hold it's shape better.

Mash and freeze ripe bananas, in one-cup portions, for use in later baking - no wasted bananas (or you can freeze them whole, peeled, in plastic baggies)
To quickly use that frozen juice concentrate, simply mash it with a potato masher - no need to wait for it to thaw!
To get the most juice out of fresh lemons, bring them to room temperature and roll them under your palm against the kitchen counter before squeezing.
To aid in washing dishes, add a tablespoon of baking soda to your soapy water - it softens hands while cutting through grease.
