Too Much Salt – If you accidentally put too much salt in your soup, cut a single potato into several large slices. Add them to the soup, and they will soak up the extra salt. Remove before serving.

Hard Boiled Eggs - When boiling eggs, put about 1/2 teaspoon of vinegar into the water. It makes the shell pull off with ease. Also, if you like, after boiling for about five minutes, you can turn off the burner and put a lid on the pot. The eggs will keep cooking. 

Pancakes - For fun pancake shapes, use a turkey baster. Fill it with pancake batter, then spell or draw on a heated and oiled pan. Just make sure your letters are backward to start with; they look better when flipped!
