Cooking Hints & Tips

Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.
Use a meat baster to "squeeze" your pancake batter onto the hot griddle and you'll get perfectly shaped pancakes everytime.
Run your hands under cold water before pressing Rice Krispies treats in the pan and the marshmallow won't stick to your fingers.
If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant "fix me up."
Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.
When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help bring out the corn's natural sweetness.
Don't throw out all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.
Potatoes will take food stains off your fingers. Just slice and rub raw potato on the stains and rinse with water.
