Today I would like to tell you a few things that I do that help make things a little easier when I am working in my kitchen.
Onions
I no longer have tears in my eyes when cutting up the onions, as I top and tail and take the shell off and put them in a small plastic bag in the freezer for 15 to 20 mins prior to cutting. When you decide what you are cooking, prepare the onions for the freezer while you get your other ingredients ready. It is much more enjoyable to cook without the tears.

Ingredients
I find that I can become distracted and forget to put an ingredient in so i get everything out of the fridge or cupboard, and measure or weigh them and put the remaining stuff away. I then have less chance of, forgetting to put something in or putting it in twice.(yes you may have a few more things to wash up but it is better than waiting for 5 hours for a loaf of bread only to find you forgot the yeast.

Sticky Stuff
When a recipe requires honey or golden syrup I spray the spoon or cup i am measuring into with cooking spray and the honey or golden syrupslide off instead of using a scraper and me and everything else ending up sticky.
