[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To separate eggs, use the empty soda bottle method.  Google it.  So worth it.

[b]To clean your microwave with dried on food bits, put a cup of water in and microwave for 2-3 minutes (depending on how strong your microwave is), the steam will soften the food which will clean right off.[/b]

Getting a good dice/mince of onions, peel, cut in half.  Then slice thin cuts like a comb through all but the last 1/2 inch on the root end.  Make one or two cuts parallel to the cutting board/surface.  Then Cut across the comb teeth.  Easiest way to get a quick dince/mince of an onion.

Fastest way to peel minced garlic.  Take the clove, paper and all, smash it with the side of a chef's knife,  The paper will crack and peel right off.  The smashed clove will actually be easier to mince then cutting slices off the whole clove to mince.

Fastest way to peel potatoes, boil the potato for about 2-3 minutes, dunk in cold water just enough to make the potato easy to handle, and the whole skin will slide off in your hand as you rub the potato.
