Tip #12: Use rubber bands as jar openers
Keep a couple of wide rubber bands in your kitchen drawer. Those that tie bundles of broccoli together work well. They’ll come in handy when you have a tight-lidded jar. Just wrap a band around the lid for extra grip. For particularly stubborn lids, wrap the other rubber band around the jar to get a good grip.
Tip #13: Use a microwave cover
Always use a microwave cover for your dishes. It saves clean-up time and keeps those food splatters from the “ceiling” of your microwave oven.

And when I reheat rice, I cover it with a slightly damp paper towel. That way, the rice doesn’t dry up. Learned that from my Mom!
