Hints and Tips for the Kitchen:

Washing Dishes:

* To quickly remove food that's stuck to enamelware or to a casserole dish, fill with boiling water and add 2 tablespoons of baking soda.

* Remember, when loading your dishwasher, be sure that the silver and the stainless steel do not touch each other, as pitting may occur.

Caring for Copper Pots:

* Try toothpaste.

* Dip lemon halves (after the juice has been extracted) in salt and rub. Rinse.

* Rub with Worcestershire sauce. Or another good substitute is ketchup. Rub and the tarnish will disappear.
