9. I have a separate box for the pantry and to use in baking.

I keep a box in the fridge and freezer too.

10. I was always afraid to put salt on meat before I cooked it.

13. I would disagree with that one

I have a book called "Kitchen Science" and that author says don't salt anything before you cook it, except maybe the water for boiling pasta (salt water has a little lowing boiling point.)
