Cook the Book: Can't Find a Lid for That Pot?
Apart from giving sound how-to advice on cooking particular food items, James Peterson's What's a Cook to Do?
One of my favorite tips, though, is the one that follows, as I always seem to misplace the pot lid for whatever pot I'm cooking with at that particular moment.
Can't Find the Pot Lid?
Unless you're very well organized, you many find yourself spending time looking for the lid that fits a particular pot or saucepan. Don't worry about it: As long as the lid is larger than the pot, without being enormous, it will work. Turn the lid upside down so liquid that condenses on the lid will fall off the convex lid instead of running down the sides of the pot.

i like this book in theory, but in practice, when i'm holding pasta that's about to go from al dente to all soggy, i don't have time to figure out where i put the stupid book, flip to the index, figure out if the tip i'm looking for is under colander, strainer, sieve, how to, etc. etc. but i'm sure i'd retain at least one hint.
