Fill a pot with with water. Stir in a heaping tablespoon of salt. Place the pot on a burner over high heat. Wait for the saltwater to come to a boil. Before broccoli is frozen it is blanched (cooked in boiling water and then placed in an ice bath to stop the cooking process). Since the frozen broccoli is precooked, you only need to reheat the broccoli. Add the broccoli to the pot of boiling water. Within 2 to 4 minutes, the broccoli will become bright green and tender. At this point, turn off the burner and remove the pan from the heat. Retrieve a colander and place it over a sink. Pour the contents of the pan into the colander. Transfer the strained broccoli into a serving dish. Season the reheated broccoli to taste and serve hot. Popular seasoning options include: salt, pepper, butter, and garlic salt.

Summary: Bring a pot of saltwater to a boil. Heat the frozen broccoli in the boiling water for 2 to 4 minutes. Strain, season, and serve the broccoli.

When covering your sofa with a bed sheet, you basically have two options. First, if you have a large enough flat sheet, you can drape it over your entire sofa and tuck it in all over. You second option is to use an entire set of sheets to cover different parts of your couch. You may need to experiment with different sheet sizes to get the right fit. Choose a sheet with a color or print that the original sofa fabric does not show through. Opt for sheets made of durable fabric. For instance, though silk may look nice, it will slip around. Remove all of the cushions and lay your flat sheet over the base of the sofa. Tuck it in as best as you can. Take your fitted bed sheet and secure it over the cushions of your sofa. Use pillowcases to cover the arms of your sofa. If you are comfortable with a little hand sewing, adding a few stitches on either side of your sofa can help secure the bed sheets and keep them in place. Using a needle and thread, add a few basic stitches wherever the bed sheets end (on the arms and on the edges of cushions). If you would like to remove this bed sheet later, these stitches can easily be removed. Pick up a nice throw blanket and a few colorful throw pillows that fit with the theme of your living room. Look at thrift stores and resale stores for budget options! Add these cute items to your newly re-covered couch to complete the look.

Summary: Drape a sheet over your sofa. Add a few stitches if desired. Add throw pillows and a throw blanket for a nice touch.

Heat guns can bring out the natural oils in black plastic and restore its luster, but this is not a long-lasting solution. The plastic may eventually fade with use and, after several treatments, will no longer have enough natural oils to draw out through heating. How long this restoration method lasts depends on how often your car is exposed to direct sunlight. The more often you use you car, the quicker the restoration will fade. If you've used a heat gun in the past but the treatment no longer works, try adding olive oil to the plastic's surface to restore its shine. You can buy or rent a heat gun online or from some hardware stores. Heat guns can warp or discolor the surfaces of non-plastic items. If your object is attached to something, cover any areas you do not want to heat with a flame-resistant tarp. This method is primarily for car trims and bumpers. Do not use this method on black plastic attached to flammable materials (like some plastic toys). Using a heat gun on dirty plastic can burn in any dirt or stains. Wash the object with soap and water, cleaning away as much debris as possible, and dry it off with a towel before applying heat. Turn on the heat gun and move it in small circles around the discolored plastic. Avoid leaving the heat gun in one place for too long to keep the color treatment even and avoid burning the plastic. Test the heat gun on an inconspicuous area first to make sure you like the treated plastic's color. As you move the heat gun around the plastic, it should change to a darker, richer color. When you've covered the entire surface, turn the heat gun off and check the plastic. If you're happy with the new color, you have finished restoring the object. If your plastic still looks faded or discolored, try applying olive oil or painting the object instead.
Summary: Use a heat gun as a temporary solution. Cover nearby non-plastic objects with a tarp before using the heat gun. Clean and dry the plastic object. Hold the heat gun several inches away from the surface. Tun off the heat gun and inspect the plastic's new color.
