Dry the lettuce before cutting for salad

Dry the lettuce before cutting it for a salad. The sauces used for salads are usually oil based, so if the lettuce will be wet, the sauce just won't stick to it. If the lettuce will be dry, on the other hand, the sauce will be better absorbed and the salad will be much tastier.

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.
