Cheating - I prefer to call it "tricks of the trade' or Tricks in the
Kitchen.

Ok you've goofed and made a little error - flexible cooking is the ability
to correct your mistakes before they become a big error and you have to call
for Pizza delivery.

As example:

Too much salt - they say to add a potato. (I don't think it works)

You've misjudged the amount of liquid in your pasta sauce. If you serve it
like that you'll have red water separating from the meat. What to do. -
Simple thicken the sauce with some bread crumbs.

Your potatoes are starting to sprout - poke them with a fork and cook them
on the nuker then refrigerate and you can use them for home fries.

What do you have in your bag of tricks ?
