Martha's Way Isn't My Way

Martha's way #1:
Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.
My way:
Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone.

Martha's way #2:
Use a meat baster to "squeeze" your pancake batter onto the hot griddle and you`ll get perfectly shaped pancakes every time.
My way:
Buy the precooked kind you nuke in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Martha's way #3:
To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
My way:
Buy a mashed potato mix and keep it in the pantry for up to a year.

Martha's way #4:
To prevent eggshells from cracking, add a pinch of salt to the water before hard-boiling.
My way:
Who cares if they crack, aren't you going to take the shells off anyway?

 Martha's way #5:
To easily remove burnt-on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to a boil on stovetop.
My way:
Eat out every night and avoid cooking.

Martha's way #6:
Spray your Tupperware with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in tomato based sauces and there won't be any stains.
My way:
Feed your garbage disposal and there won't be any leftovers.

Martha's way #7:
When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.
My way:
Go to the bakery. They`ll even decorate it for you.

Martha's way #8:
Place a slice of apple in hardened brown sugar to soften it.
My Way:
Brown sugar is supposed to be "soft"?

Martha's way #9:
When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help bring out the corn's natural sweetness.
My Way:
The only kind of corn I buy comes in a can.

Martha's way #10:
Potatoes will take food stains off your fingers. Just slice and rub raw potato on the stains and rinse with water.
My way:
Instant mashed potatoes will now be next to the anti-bacterial soap in a handy dispenser next to my sink.
