re: Kitchen / Cooking tips that you learned late or that you want to share?

Don't get distracted. A lot of messed up meals are due to distraction. The margin between perfect and overcooked can be razor thin. Using a tbsp instead of tsp in baking can be devastating. Remove distractions, and just stand there and do it right.

Can't tell you the number of times I've watched people mess up meals because they go take out the trash, put the clothes in the dryer, watch TV, check on little Timmy, etc.

I pretty much live with a towel over my left shoulder when in the kitchen and wish I had a dollar for every time I've used one over the years when cooking.
