TIPS:
Cream and cottage cheese being highly perishable should be put in closed plastic containers inside the refrigerator and should be placed near the ice box.

Coconut milk when kept overnight in the fridge forms a white layer on top. This layer can be used as fat instead of oil while cooking mutton or chicken.

Circular and oval dishes are best cookware for microwave, as those with corners can create pockets of microwave energy that will burn the food.

The best method to heat leftover rice is to put the leftover rice in a sieve, cover and steam it over simmering water for about 10 minutes.

Stuck with excess boiled potatoes? Store them, preferably unpeeled, in airtight containers and freeze them.

Squashed or imperfect fruit (apples, chickoos, bananas) can be crushed, with a little sugar, and frozen. They make excellent toppings for vanilla ice cream.

Sprinkle a cake with a little flour when it comes initially from the oven to help keep the icing from running off.

Sometimes some water remains in long grained rice even when placed in a colander. To hasten the process of drying up the water, place a slice of bread on the rice and cover. The bread absorbs the moisture and the rice will be nice and separated.

Skim any froth off the jam just before filling the jars. If you try to do it earlier you may skim away a lot of the jam.

Set home made ice cream in individual freezer proof glasses or small containers for easy serving when entertaining.
