I just saw that on the 4th of July when Discovery Home had a "License to Grill" marathon. I have learned so much from Rob Rainford - he is a great griller!

I keep a chopstick in my sugar and flour bins - very handy for leveling off the measuring cup.

This is a great thread!

A paper plate makes a great funnel for many dry ingredients! Just bend at one end to fit the hole..and it's large at the other for pouring!

Can't twist open a jar cover made of tin? Tie a rubber band twice around the rim of the cover and try again. Or, place one rubber glove between the cover and your hand then twist open.

This is a tip for eating shrimp: Ever have trouble getting all the tail meat off a cooked shrimp served with tail shell on? Use spoon's edge to pin down the tail at the point where the meat inside connects to the tail. Then fork the exposed meat down (half-inch away from the tail shell) and pull meat away.

That is a very good idea!!

I started buying my son all white socks.. that way when one got lost
I could just match it's partner with another poor sad partnerless sock.

I used to do this, but it ends up ripping a hole where the pin goes through eventually.
