For more volume in egg whites, let stand in room temperature before beating. Use a glass or metal bowl (not plastic) with a tapered bottom and wide top. (Egg whites expand six times when beaten, so make sure bowl is large enough). C Liska, Ohio

Place 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries in a small saucepan, mix together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1/3 cup water and pour over berries. Cook over medium heat until thick and clear.

Ground meat Tip

When mixing ground meat with other ingredients put the meat and ingredients in a plastic bag and zip it shut. Then, knead the mixture in the bag. This way, you don’t have to wash a bowl or hands afterwards. You can also freeze whatever you don’t use right in the bag. H O’Key, Connecticut

Bake Potato Tip

For quick baked potatoes, first cook 3 minutes in the microwave, then 20 minutes at 375 in a conventional oven to crisp the skin. (Remember to pierce the skins before microwaving!) B. Maschke, Minnesota
