To prevent egg shells from cracking, add a pinch of salt to the water before hard-boiling.
Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
Place a slice of apple in hardened brown sugar to soften it.
To determine whether an egg is fresh, immerse it in a pan of cool, salted water. If it sinks, it is fresh, but if it rises to the surface, throw it away.
