Dear Hubby's Favorite Tips

As promised, all this week I will post my sweetie's favorite tips. We'll start out with his life motto: NEVER FRY BACON NAKED. Enough said.

Sort of along the same topic, we recently found a product at Garden Ridge that he is very happy with. It's a small nonstick skillet for cooking an egg or a small omelet. You put the egg in, close the top, cook on one side, then flip it over and cook it on the other side. It's only good for one egg at a time (or 2 if it's an omelet), but it cooks a good egg and really fast with hardly any mess.

I'll add a little tip to this. With nonstick cookware, never use them anywhere in the vicinity of a pet bird. The fumes can kill them. Also, never heat nonstick pans on High -- stay at a medium or lower heat, again because of the fumes. Alternative doctors will tell you not to use nonstick pans at all, but it's really hard to cook an egg on anything else.

This is a nifty little product and the cost was $9.99. We debated in the store over whether it was worth it. But after using it, we think it is. More hints from hubby tomorrow!
