Never place candle sticks in the sink and pour boiling water on them (in order to remove candle wax)
You will end up with a *badly* clogged sink.

When doing laundry any cash found in pockets is to be seen as a tip and to be kept.
Not your mistake. Their mistake Smile

Not every cleaning product is an all purpose product that's suitable for all materials. Read that label and save yourself troubles.

Always check what's in the covered 9x13 before heating it up.

((I cooked an amazing crembo cake (brownie cake with whipped cream) when trying to heat up a kugel. Disaster.))

Turn on the correct burner on the stove when trying to cook something. Such a difference!

If you need to leave the kitchen, turn the fire DOWN (or off) before you go so you don’t end up with an exploding pot of could-have-been-edible food.

When straining pasta put the strainer in the sink. Unless you want to multitask and wash the counters and floors as well…

Speaking of strainers - make sure yours is properly balanced if you don’t want to land up with your freshly cooked pasta all over the sink

I don't think this applies to chassidish people. Not that hard to do chassidish haircut. I've cut my husband's hair many times. He sometimes cuts it himself by the mirror.

Yes press start. Can’t say it enough times. My last pregnancy I was so nauseous and just wanted to get on with the task that I put the chicken into the oven but never turned it on. Only noticed later when I was wondering why it doesn’t smell…
