In the event that you need to chill a small area/room and air conditioning, it is possible to rig a system using plastic tubing, a small fan, and some styrofoam blocks to pump cool air anywhere you like. I've done this with dry ice in a cooler, but a freezer should work fine.
Take objects that need to be hidden, mix them into a casserole and freeze it. If anyone's going to the trouble to dethaw your casseroles to search for it, you are involved in something really insane.
Chill some small hard object and shatter it with a hammer for entertainment value.

That last one seems to be a standard use to me. Is that just me?
Today I learned that you can toast marshmallows in the oven.
By "learned", I mean "I read a recipe which included as a step toasting marshmallows in the oven". I didn't have to try it out to realize that this would obviously work. It was plain as soon as I heard the idea. And it shouldn't have needed pointing out. I know how ovens work. I am familiar with the marshmallow species of food. I love roasted marshmallows while hating them in most other forms and often occurrently lament the difficulty of arranging open flames over which one may safely toast them. I routinely try new things in the kitchen to get results I want.
And yet I read it, and was surprised. And so were the people I reported this finding to. It needed pointing out.
What other facts need pointing out, although they are plain on inspection? What is the pattern behind these facts and a good way to find more?
