Quickly ripen fruit

If you have fruit that still hasn't quite ripened, throw it into a brown paper bag along with a banana and set it in a dark place.

Peel & cut a mango

Slice into a mango and cut it up into squares along the skin. Then, bend the mango and cut out the even squares.

Cooking potatoes

Start off your potatoes in cold water, not hot. When they cook, the outer skin won't fall apart.

Peeling a kiwi

Cut the kiwi in half and scoop it out with a teaspoon.

Cutting a bell pepper

Cut off the stalk and flip it over. Start from the top (formerly the bottom) and start slicing around the seeds. It makes the remaining pieces much easier to cut up.

Finding a ripe pineapple

Peel a leaf from the top of your questionable pineapple. If it comes off easily, it's ripe.

Cooking meat faster

If you score meat, cutting multiple inch-deep gashes into the flesh, you'll allow it to cook faster. It'll also let the marinade sink deeper.

Keeping food from going brown

Cover your potatoes, avocados and apples in water and add some lemon. It'll stop the oxidation process that causes them to turn brown.
