Baking Sheet Under Casserole

To help keep your oven clean, when baking casseroles or pies that might spill over in the oven, place a baking sheet under them.

Timing Your Cooking - Utilise The Down Time

Some people seem to get dishes done and ready quicker than others. Most of these people simply have learned how to maximise the time available to cook. They use their cooking time wisely - You can learn to do that too.

Clean As You Go

Clean as you go in the kitchen. It will be a lot easier to see where you’re at and to find your tools and bowls if you pile them nicely in the sink or even better, in the dishwasher if you have one.

Plastic Cups for Stored Ingredients

Get plastic measuring cups that you keep in your dry ingredients containers.

Keep Your Knives Sharp

It's important to keep your knives sharp. Not only will they cut better, but a sharp knife is safer to use.

What To Do With Ripe Bananas

If you have bananas that are getting too ripe and you don't have enough or don't feel like doing muffins or bread or cream pie, peel them (), wrap them in wax paper and freeze them.

Herbs & Spices

Use herbs and spices in your dishes. They often make the difference between a bland dish and a great dish.
