CANDLE TIPS

• While lighting candle keep the candle in a clay pot lamp to collect spilled wax. Keep a wick in the pot. While the candle melts completely we can use the wax collected as lamp.
• If candle spilled on the floor or any other surface, freeze the wax with ice cubes. Now it'll be easier to remove.
• Keep lighted candle away from air to avoid it from melting soon. It lasts long than in air.
• Trim the extra long wick while burning to avoid smoke.
• Always use candles with candle holder to avoid it from spilling on our hands or other surfaces.
• We can make easy candle holders from any waste metal container stick onto a plastic plate or waste CD. Plastic plate or CD is used for easy handling.
• The wax collected can be melted, mixed with wax colors and poured in moulds to make different shapes. These can be used to decorate our home.

EGG TIPS

• When we crack egg and pour in a vessel for omelette, a piece of egg shell may also fall. Use the bigger egg shell as spoon to remove the piece.
• While boiling egg add a pinch of salt to avoid crack.
• To avoid the black color on the yolks, dont overcook the egg. Also remove from boiling water immediately and put in cold water.
• If we have less amount of egg and we need more omelette, dont worry. Add some gram flour and water to the egg to make 3 omelettes out of 2 eggs.
• While beating egg for omelette use salt diluted water instead of salt powder to avoid salt from not dissolving.
• Another way to avoid this is, first mix salt with onion and green chilly. When salt dissolves well add egg, beat well and prepare omelette.
• To make scrambled egg tastier stir briskly while frying.
• Boiled egg can be cut with thread to avoid jagged edges. Wet knife can also be used.
