Grate garlic instead of chopping. You are just left with the skin.
Use scissors for cutting:
-bacon
-herbs
-ham
-spring onions
-bread into cubes for croutons
-pizza
I always use cling film for pastry, too. It's great when lining a pie dish, as you can put the pastry into place first, pushing it into the corners, then "peel" off the cling film. The pastry doesn't tear and your fingers are clean and not floury.
Use a piping bag for:
-Dosing cup cake mixture into cases.
-making biscuits
-preparing quick canapés. Fill bag with liver sausage (beaten with a little butter and herbs) or a flavoured cream cheese and pipe onto a plateful of Ritz crackers.
Disposable piping bags are easiest to deal with.
When preparing a large number of, say, carrots, peel them all, then top and tail all so you don't have to keep changing tools or shifting position.
