Salt tip that really works

[WorldWildWifeFund]

Sprinkle salt over food that is frying or grilling - stops spatter. Just tried it on sausages grilling in my halogen oven. This usually makes a mess of spatter in the oven - not with the salt, and the sausages browned more evenly too. I wonder why these really useful bits of knowledge get lost?

I'm always amazed at these old tips. I used cold water, salt, fairy liquid and a cold wash to get blood out of a white pillow. It came out spotless. I'm currently trying to fluff up towels with a vinegar / bicarb method... Will keep your splatter tip in mind :)
