If you're using dried chick-peas, instead of soaking them overnight in cold water, pour boiling water over them and let them stand for an hour. Obviously you still need to boil them for ages afterwards.

This has to be one of my favourite tips Forget oven gloves, they are expensive and crap. Get a pair of riggers gloves from ASDA, they are under �2 and intended for building work. At least as heat proof and you can manipulate things and get a better grip. I would not be without them. jema

My tip is to fry fish in the oven, all the smells go up the chimney

put the frying pan on the floor of the oven to get hot.....add fish...shut the door...turn over half way through....eat fish. All cooking smells go up the chimney cos you cook it in the oven and not on top, no fat splashes on the hot plate either

I love the smell of frying fish or browning other foods. If they get too bad then add half a lemon to a pan of water and boil and this will absorb the smell.

Ah, but, very small kitchen and small house = big smell, especially if I burn stuff I do keep the oven door open if I'm doing breakfasts, gets everyone out of bed
