• 2. Nutrition labels' ingredient lists are in order. 2. Nutrition labels' ingredient lists are in order. Wait, what? When you grab that box off the shelf, check out the ingredients list. Whatever is listed first means that ingredient is used the most. If your granola bar has sugar listed before granola, put it back on the shelf. That bag of microwave popcorn with salt listed first? Pass.
• 3. Doughnut holes are actually just cut-out centers of doughnuts. 3. Doughnut holes are actually just cut-out centers of doughnuts. Some of us just figured this out, okay?! We know they're literally called doughnut holes, but it's not common sense! Hand-made doughnuts are just big balls of dough until the middles are cut out. The doughnut becomes a ring and the middle part becomes... doughnut holes. Doughnuts at large chains like Dunkin' Donuts and Krispy Kreme use machinery that makes the doughnut and doughnut holes separately.
• 4. Butter is not a carb. 4. Butter is not a carb. Mean Girls brought this up years ago, but it's still a question on people's minds. The answer was and always will be: NO. It's a fat.
• 5. The difference between extra virgin olive oil and olive oil is important. 5. The difference between extra virgin olive oil and olive oil is important. Extra virgin olive oil is made from pure olives that have been ground into a paste and then squeezed to get the oil out of them. The reject oil, that isn't as fine or pure as it should be, is re-purposed as just olive oil. Regular OO will do just fine in all your cooking needs. Save EVOO for salads, marinades and other uncooked things.
• 6. When cooking on a stove, open the lid away from your face. 6. When cooking on a stove, open the lid away from your face. When you're boiling pasta water or steaming vegetables, save yourself from the heatwave of steam and open the lid away from your face.

You panic and think "water puts out fire" and throw some on it. To your surprise, the fire gets bigger. That's because the water and the grease (remember, oil floats on water!) and it goes POOF. Instead, contain the fire by cutting off the oxygen. Cover it! Also, if the cheese that dripped off your pizza and has been sitting on the bottom of your oven for weeks finally caught on fire... close the oven! The fire should go out on its own if cut off from oxygen.
• 9. Don't put metal in the microwave. 9. Don't put metal in the microwave. This one is kind of "duh," but just to be clear... please don't put aluminum foil, metal cups or bowls in the microwave. Trust us on this one.

• 11. Don’t cut meat on a wooden cutting board. 11. Don’t cut meat on a wooden cutting board. Please no. Wooden cutting boards have a million nooks and crannies that bacteria from raw meat can get trapped in. Nobody wants bacteria growing in their cutting board.

• 17. There are different kinds of salt. 17. There are different kinds of salt. Yes. There are tons of different salts, but the main ones you should know are table salt (or NaCl for all you science geeks), kosher salt, sea salt and Himalayan pink salt.   - Most table salt is labelled "iodized" which just means the salt has been mixed with a tiny amount of the mineral iodine to help prevent iodine - deficiency.

• 21. Water won’t help if your mouth is spicy. 21. Water won’t help if your mouth is spicy. Don't grab the water when you've had a bite of something a bit too spicy. The water will just swish the spice around your mouth. Stick to dairy and, if you're of age, hard liquor (not beer).
