Cooking.com Tip: Grating cheese by hand is one of those kitchen chores for which few people want to volunteer. To finely grate cheese for lasagna, pasta or any dish, use a rotary cheese grater. The rotating handle lets you quickly grate large quantities of cheese without a lot of effort on your part. Use if for grating chocolate and nuts, too.

Cooking.com Tip: Don’t make a mess of your kitchen counter when preparing fresh pasta, pizza or pastry dough. Use a wood pastry board large enough for all your baking and pastry needs. Wood helps absorb any excess moisture when kneading the dough so you add less flour. It is also the best surface for drying freshly cut pasta as the wood absorbs any moisture in the dough.
