Next time you are ready to grate cheese, first spray the grater with vegetable oil and the cheese will not stick to it as readily as if not sprayed. Easy clean up with a pre-treatment of oil. The same is true of measuring cups when measuring peanut butter and honey or sticky foods.

Cylinders that potato chips come in are handy for knitting projects – just wash and dry the empty can, place a skein of yarn in it, cut a hole in the plastic top and pull the end of the yarn through the hole.

You can cover the outside of the can with contact paper, if you like to make it pretty. It's especially convenient for taking your knitting with you when traveling.

Wash the tarnished items, then place on aluminum foil in the bottom of a pot (kettle). Combine 1/4 cup baking soda, 3 teaspoons salt (table salt is fine) and 1 quart of boiling water. Pour over tarnished items in the kettle and turn items if necessary to clean all surfaces. As soon as the tarnish is gone, remove and rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, clean cloth.

I found this to be the best method I have ever used. This solution removed tarnish that sliver cleaner did not remove and it was done in seconds with not mess like a tooth brush and sliver cleaner produces. I used it on silver chamber stick bases and on jewelry and they looked like new when I was done.
