When spooning thick products such as tomato paste or pumpkin puree out of a can, its impossible to get it all, unless you use your can opener on both sides of the can and then press on one end to slide the entire can out.

Faster Cooking Crockpot Dish
To help crockpot dishes along, heat all cooking liquids in the microwave or on the stove before adding them to the dish. This avoids all of the time it takes for the SLOW cooker to slowly heat the liquid, giving the dish a head start.

Watery Iced Coffee? No Need!
The only new years resolution I have held onto has been giving up coffee. In three months and twenty one days, I have had only one cup, and it was decaf. However, right before I quit I found out the coolest trick to make not watery iced coffee. If you make coffee a head of time and pour it into ice cube trays, then use them in your coffee, when the "ice" melts, its just more coffee. This also got me thinking, maybe lemon juice for lemon water in the summer? How about milk cubes if you drink coffee with milk or cream? Just an idea

Stuck Fried Eggs? No More!
Fried eggs, over easy or not, tend to stick to the pan. There is one simple trick I found to help prevent that, butter! Yes, butter instead of olive oil or nonstick spray. It may sound like a lot more calories, but when you're only using a tablespoon, it really isn't. Plus it makes up for the calories when your egg comes away clean and leaving no mark in the pan.

Wasting Dairy in Your Measuring Cup?
While measuring out oil and, say, buttermilk using the same measuring cup, first measure and pour in the oil followed by the dairy. It will now slide right out, not leaving any pesky dairy to be wasted and washed down the drain. Not to mention that there is no rush to wash the measuring cup because the dairy isn't sticking and making it impossible to wash later.
