Stinky feet

To eliminate foot odor, in a big bowl, mix 1 package of lime-flavored gelatin with the recommended amount of hot water (not boiling). Add cold water until reaching a comfortable temperature and soak your feet until the mix starts to set. Citrus will absorb odor and leave a fresh smell on skin.

Beautiful seared meat

As protein cooks, it shrinks and changes shape, so the side that sears first will end up browning more equally. When cooking meat or fish, start with the side that will face up when plated, which will have an attractive golden exterior with nice hatch marks.

Quick fresh citrus juice

Cut citrus fruits (lemon, lime etc.) into wedges, place them in resealable plastic bags and freeze. When you need juice, just place some wedges in the microwave for about 20 seconds and squeeze as needed.
