Two others that weren't mentioned here

These might be in the full list, but I'd like to add:

If you are cooking collard greens, first chop them up and soak them in a water, vinegar, and salt bath. I use a 1:1 ratio for the water and vinegar, and put a lot of salt in. This pulls some of the bitterness out of the leaves before cooking.

Similarly, you can use the same recipe (but more diluted... say 1:4 vinegar:water?) to soak spinach leaves in before cooking. If you don't buy bagged spinach (I don't) this lossens up and helps removes dirt and sand, better than simply washing in normal water.
