 * ಹಲಸಿನಕಾಯಿ ಸೊಳೆ ಬೆಂದ ಕೂಡಲೇ ಬಿಸಿ ಬಿಸಿ ಇರುವಾಗಲೇ ಅರೆಯಿರಿ. ತಣ್ಣಗಾದ ಮೇಲೆ ಗಟ್ಟಿಯಾಗುವುದರಿಂದ ಅರೆಯಲು ಕಷ್ಟವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ 

 * ಹಲಸಿನಕಾಯಿ ಸೊಳೆ ಬೇಯುವಾಗ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ತೊಳೆಸುವುದರಿಂದ ಅರೆಯಲು ಸುಲಭವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ

 * ಬೇಯುವಾಗ ಹಾಕುವ ನೀರಿನ ಪ್ರಮಾಣವನ್ನು ಹಲಸಿನಕಾಯಿಯನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿಕೊಂಡು ವ್ಯತ್ಯಾಸ ಮಾಡಿ

 * ಹೆಚ್ಚುವ ಮೊದಲು ಕೈಗೆ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಎಣ್ಣೆ ಹಚ್ಚುವುದರಿಂದ ಮೇಣ ಕೈಗೆ ಅಷ್ಟು ಅಂಟಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದಿಲ್ಲ
