How to prevent fondant icing from sticking
When rolling out fondant icing to cover a cake the best way to stop it sticking is by covering your surface with cling film and then rolling out the icing on the film. When covering the cake its easy to lift up the icing by the cling film and turn it over and then peeling it off and smoothing the icing on the cake.

Grilled cheese sandwiches
Have you got kids that won't eat the end pieces in a loaf of bread? Simply turn the crust inward, cook as usual. They'll never see the crust and you saved two slices of bread.

Opening a soda liter bottle
It is always difficult to twist a cap of soda no matter how much force you put on it. To make it easier, wrap a rubber band around the cap, to give your hands a "grip" on the cap. Twist the cap and it will pop open effortlessly.

Cost saving pack of pork chops
Buy the family size, cost saving pack of pork chops and when you get home remove the pork chops from their package and pat dry with paper towels. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and then place your pork chops on it. When they are almost froze remove from the pan and place into large zip lock bags. You will now be able to take out how ever many pork chops you want.

Cookie sheets
If you have a problem with cookie sheets, cake pans or baking pans rusting there is a simple solution. As you use them wash them well in soap and water, dry them well and return them to a oven set at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Your pans will never rust again.

Give your scones that shabby chic look
Next time you're making scones, instead of using a pastry cutter, simply roll the pastry into a fat sausage shape and slice it up to make the scones. Give your scones an egg wash and sprinkling of sugar before cooking them and they will come out looking like really old-fashioned, home made chic scones.

Keep shop bought fresh herbs longer
If you've bought fresh herbs from the shop, take them out of their plastic wrapper, wrap them up in some wetted kitchen paper towel and store them in the fridge. They'll last longer.

A rolling pin substitute
Ever in a pinch and don’t have a rolling pin? Try using an empty wine bottle instead! It works perfectly! It is an idea that came out on one of our cooks. One of my assistant’s forgot to pack a rolling pin along. While we all scrambled around to find a rolling pin, he suggested using a wine bottle and saved the day - and our pastry!

Extra power to your apple pie
If you're making an apple pie, you might be adding sultanas, but if you soak the sultanas first for 1-2 hours, they can add a great new taste to your pie. Simply soak the sultanas in orange juice - preferably overnight before you add the sultanas to your apple pie.

Do not throw away cheese rinds
If you buy the kind of cheese that has a rind, then you might find yourself throwing the rind away. Don't waste the cheese rind. That's where most of the taste is. Freeze it and use it in soups, stocks or cheese sauces.
