1. To get ketchup flowing in a bottle, insert a plastic straw. When you pull out the straw, the ketchup will pour easily.
2. Thicken soups with instant potato flakes.
3. Fill ice cube trays with chicken stock or boullion. Use the frozen cubes to cool a bowl of soup that is too hot.
4. To keep marshmallows  fresh and moist, store in a freezer.
5. To revive dried out marshmallows, put them in a wire strainer and hold them over boiling water.
6. Stuff a miniature marshmallow into the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream cones from dripping.
7. Add a few grains of rice to your salt shaker to prevent salt from sticking together during periods of high humidity.
8. Pancakes will be fluffier if you replace the liquid with club soda.
9. Freeze leftover pancakes individually between sheets of wax paper. Reheat in the  toaster.
10. If you place a tray of water on the bottom oven rack when broiling, the drippings will fall in the water, making clean up easier.
