If your iron is dragging instead of gliding, don't toss it. Try this simple cleaning trick instead. Mix one part salt with one part white vinegar in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for about 30 seconds. Stir to dissolve the salt, dip a cotton rag in the mixture and rub the bottom of your iron vigorously. This should remove residue that is causing the dragging and give your iron a clean, almost-new shine.

Here's a new use for your garlic press: Use it to crush herbs. You can buy whole seeds like black pepper, cumin and coriander, and place them in the hopper of your garlic press. When you press, they'll crack and break into a finer consistency, perfect for whatever you're planning to cook up that night.

We've all heard that plastic six-pack rings are murder to marine wildlife, which can get caught in the rings and choke. While we know snipping the rings with scissors can prevent this tragedy, try being even more green at the grocery store: Don't buy six-packs at all. Choose soda in recyclable aluminum cans that are boxed in 12 or 24 packs, which come without plastic rings.
