To get rid of the seafood smell in the microwave, heat a soaped towel

If you’ve just used the microwave to heat a form of seafood, from fish to octopus, it’s inevitably going to smell. That smell can permeate through the whole room and is painfully obvious for a while. To get rid of this smell, get a dish towel with some soap on it, heat the rag for a few minutes, leave it in the microwave for about 30 mins and then wipe down the walls of the microwave afterward. The smell should be completely gone.

When measuring out sticky ingredients, coat the cup in cooking oil

Some recipes call for the use of certain sticky ingredients, and when measured, refuse to come fully out of the cup you used. This can be especially annoying when trying not to mix ingredients or trying to clean the cup. The solution to this is to coat the interior of the cup in cooking oil. This will ensure any sticky ingredient will come right out afterward.
