Cleaning Pots and Pans
Do you have pans and pots with stubborn burnt on food?
Sprinkle baking soda and add a little water. Let sit for about 1/2 hour. Now, wash with dishwashing liquid. Makes it much easier to clean!

Cleaning Copper Bottom Cookware
Do you use RevereWare Cookware? Or cookware with copper bottoms? I do, and try this easy copper cleaner solution! Rub the copper with Worcestershire Sauce, let set for a minute and rinse off! You can also try rubbing with catsup, but I like the sauce method better

Getting Rid of Kitchen Odors
1. Fill a jar with a couple of vanilla beans. Keep the lid off. The vanilla odor will permeate the air!
2. Can't get rid of a lingering smell in the kitchen? Try baking some orange peels in the oven at 350 degrees. Bake for about 15 minutes.
3. Have a musty, smelly lunch box? Even after washing? Try putting a piece of white bread that has been soaked in white vinegar in the lunch box and close it up. Leave it closed overnight.
4 . Do your plastic containers have food odors?

More methods for you to try to remove the odors
1. You can try freezing the empty containers.
2. You can set the containers in the sun for several hours or you can put a piece of lemon in the container and put the top on. This method might take a few days. Have a drain in your sink that is clogged? Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda over the drain, and then pour a cup of vinegar over it. Let set for a minute till it foams, then run your hot water or pour boiling water down the drain! You may need to repeat the process. Works in most simple clogs.
