13. Unscrew a broken light bulb with a potato

Extracting a broken light bulb base presents safety hazards, but a potato makes the process secure and simple. First, switch off the electrical power and wear protective gloves. Slice a potato in half, dry the cut surface thoroughly, and press it firmly against the broken bulb base. Rotate counterclockwise steadily, and the potato will grip the metal securely, enabling you to remove it safely while avoiding cuts from sharp glass fragments.
