Smelly Cooking Hands
Simply rub your hands over a stainless steel utensil under running water. This works especially well for the odor of garlic, onions or fish.

Sour Sponge
Soak the sponge in lemon juice and rinse it out. This will remove the odor for good but keep in mind that it is important to dispose of, bleach, or run your sponge through your dishwasher regularly to keep bacteria from growing.

Soggy Lettuce
Perk up soggy lettuce by soaking in cold water with some lemon juice. To store, place in a zip lock bag with paper towel to absorb the moisture.

Budding Potatoes
To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes

Hard Boiled Eggs
To prevent eggshells from cracking, add a pinch of salt to the water before hard-boiling.
