1) When preparing a loose mixture and the ingredients were added in reverse order, according to some Poskim that is an adequate enough Shinui and thus will not require any additional Shinuim when mixing the food. (Shulchan Aruch Siman 321:14. See also Drisha Siman 321:3 and Chazon Ish Siman 58:5)
Other Poskim, however, maintain that it will require an additional Shinui when mixing the food as well. (Terumas Hadeshen Siman 53. The Mishna Berura S"K 57 writes that it is proper to be stringent like this opinion.)
2) Mixing [a loose mixture] with the handle of a spoon or fork, or with any part of a knife, which is not the normal way to mix food, is considered an acceptable Shinui [for loose mixtures]. (See Shu"t Igros Moshe Orach Chaim Vol. 4 Siman 74; Losh:11. See also Shu"t Tzitz Eliezer Vol. 11 Siman 36 quoting the opinion of Shu"t Minchas Yechiel)

These Q&A are taken from the Q & A pages on the Halacha For Today website.
Although the answers I give to questions are taken directly from the Sifrei HaPoskim, and aren't my own, they are still for study purposes only, NOT for Psak Halacha.

Reader's Question:
What's the reason the mothers of the choson and kallah break the plate [at the T'Naim] before the chupah as opposed to the fathers?
Answer:
The minhag to break a dish at the Tena'im is brought in the Pri Megadim (Mishbetzos Zahav) Orach Chaim Siman 560:7 and Mishna Berura 569:9, as a Zecher L'Churban to show that our Simcha is not complete as long as we don't have a Bais Hamikdash.
There are various other symbolic reasons for this quoted in the Seforim.
However, none of the Poskim specifically say that it needs to be done by the mothers, and in fact there are references that point to this having been done by men in years past.
For some reason, the minhag developed into having the mothers do it.

We are taught that a korban (sacrifice) that is brought without sincere repentance does not atone.
However, this injunction does not apply to a Meal Offering, since this is unique from other sacrifices.
The Minchah (gift) of the poor, in contrast to all other offerings, atones even without teshuvah.
All the days of his life, the poor man is the epitome of one long, never ending teshuvah.
The Baal HaTanya Zatzal quoted in Sefer Torah Tavlin
