Handy Tips that are plain rubbish

Kettleson

Putting a bit of cooking oil into a pan of boiling pasta to stop it sticking, that's plain rubbish. You want to stop it sticking? Stir it a few times.

Any more?

Get a tattoo on yer neck. It'll look hard.

How can they be both handy and rubbish? Surely one negates the other?

Rub a candle along a metal drawer runner to help it run smoothly.

No, I'll stick with WD40 thanks.

A Vulcan neck pinch never knocks anyone out for me, just gets them really annoyed, especially at work meetings.

To save money, go on a week's package holiday but stay up every single night so you'll get a fortnight's holiday for the price of a week......wrecked so I was. :rolleyes:

Using WD40 to lubricate things.

WD40 is a water-displacer and not a lubricant. Its a great way to ruin locks, gum up your bike chain or make your hinges filthy.

Drinking hot whiskey in the winter heats you up.

It is, but one alcohol rumour is correct. Carbonated alcohol works 20-30% faster than noncarbonated alcohol.

Maximus Alexander

If you want it to stop sticking you save a half cup of the pasta water when you're draining your cooked pasta, add drained pasta and the half cup of pasta water back into your cooking pot and you don't get no sticking pasta bitch.

Yes please look it up. Water has the same freeing affect of wd40 saw it on a test of various products vs proper penetrant.

And its 10-15% oil thats all. Its a water displacement fluid. You spray it on displace the water away and then it evaporates leaving a tiny film of oil.

Thats why it never lasts as a oil.

No its diet drinks thats get absorbed much faster than proper sugar versions.

Putting some uncooked rice in your salt cellar prevents the salt from getting damp thus rendering the vessel useless.

I agree, friends of ours clean their kitchen counters and floors with vinegar. They say they can't understand why we buy cleaning products. It's because using vinegar to clean floors and surfaces makes their house stink so bad it made me retch!
