Favorite life hack

Mine is a quick easy way to clean a microwave. I put a coffee cup half full of water in there for four minutes. Let it sit for one minute after the bell, and the steaming water loosens everything. You can just wipe out with a sponge. If it smells from someone cooking an onion or the like in there, put some white vinegar in the water.

Right now my fave life hack is roasting chicken on a bundt pan. It gets perfectly crisp and juicy, and it's easy to clean up (my roasting pan is too big). 

Oh, and I fold the sheets and put them in the matching pillowcase, so everything is folded and ready to go and easy to grab.

You mean you stand the chicken up by putting the center of the bundt pan inside the bum cavity?

That's freaking brilliant. I'm going to start doing that!

Yes, you just put the center of the bundt pan in the cavity. Then put your veg in the pan, so that will roast in the juices.

Do you have to put anything under the Bundt to catch any wayward drips?  I'm going to start doing this!  at the rotisserie chickens you get at the markets are nice but they taste kind of briney.

1. Baby wipes can get chocolate out of clothes.

2. Dish detergent can get out grease stains in clothes. Put some dish soap on the spot, let it sit at least overnight, and then wash it as normal. (This hack saved most of my clothes at one time or another when I was in art school, as dish soap was one of the few things that got oil paint out.)

I put a baking sheet lined with foil under it, just in case.
