1) When making a soup, sauce, that ends up too fatty or greasy, drop in an ice cube. The ice will attract the fat, which you can then scoop out. This works wonders.
2) When boiling eggs, add salt to the boiling water to keep the shells from cracking.
3) If your salt is becoming lumpy, put a few grains of rice in with it to absorb the excess moisture.
4) HOMEMADE SHOWER HEAD CLEANER
Use this "explosive" homemade cleanser to blast away all of your shower's hard water deposits:
a third of a cup of baking soda
a single cup of white vinegar
a single plastic bag
1 large bag twisty tie

Caution: Slowly pour vinegar into bag; there will be a "explosive" foaming action.

-----Soak the shower head in the solution for at least 2 hours or overnight.
----Wipe the shower head clean before using it.
