Peeling a tomato
An easy way to peel a tomato (which you need to do if you're preparing a tomato pasta souce, for example) is cutting a small 'x' on top of it, and putting it in a steaming water. After a minute or two the skin around the 'x' will start peeling off. Take the tomato out, and easily remove the rest of the skin.
Is the egg boiled or raw?
Have you ever found an egg in a refrigerator and had no idea if it's already boiled or not? Well, there is an easy way to find out! Try spinning the egg around. If the spin is fast - the egg is already boiled. If the spin is slow and holds only for a couple of spins - the egg is raw.
The reason for that is that the raw egg is liquid inside, and this liquid is interfering with the spin.
