1. After handling garlic, rub your fingers on stainless steel, like your sink, to get rid of the odor.
2. Crack eggs on a paper towel on the counter — no shells and easy cleanup!
3. Make an ideal sunny-side egg by covering your pan with a lid and letting the steam cook your egg. No flipping required.
4. Always taste your food before seasoning.
5. Hold a knife properly: pinch the blade instead of gripping the handle.
6. If your recipe calls for buttermilk, you can use regular milk with lemon juice.
7. Prepping salad before serving is a huge time saver. Layer all the ingredients in a bowl and don’t add the dressing until it’s time to serve.
8. Keep your spices away from sources of heat like the stove or lights. Herbs and spices can lose their flavor when exposed to humidity and heat.
9. Save old, stale bread to make breadcrumbs in a food processor; you can freeze them for up to 6 months.
10. To prevent tears, cut off the root of the onion before you slice.

1.  Use 2 skewers instead of 1 when grilling or roasting to prevent your food from spinning.
2. Learn and practice the rule of thumb to check the readiness of steak.
3. To prevent butter from over-browning in your pan, add a little bit of lemon juice.
4.  Embrace salt. Don’t be afraid to use salt; it pulls the flavors out of your dishes. Cook with kosher salt and season with sea salt.
5. Ignore cooking times. Check your dishes by using your own senses (smell, taste, touch) to decide when they are done.
6. (Bonus Tip) The most versatile and important tool is a sharp chef’s knife.

1. Set up your workspace by gathering clean tools, bowls and utensils. And make sure to keep a trashcan within arm’s reach.
2. To create an egg wash, whisk together a large egg with one tablespoon of water until smooth. Use as a glue to seal pastries, then brush on top for a glossy appearance.
3. Peel tomatoes with ease! Cut an X in the top, and then simmer in a pot of hot water for 15 to 30 seconds. Cool down and the skin will fall right off.
4.  Invest in a baking scale. Scales are not only an accurate way to measure your cooking ingredients, but they streamline the entire process.
5. Clean as you go.
