Tip Tuesday: Coffee filters

Coffee Filters
• Safe stacking: Put a coffee filter between plates when storing. For nonstick pots and pans, use one to keep the surface from being scratched when you stack them.

• "Snack bowls": Use coffee filters as a disposable "snack bowl" for popcorn, chips, etc.

• Prevent spills: Wrap a filter around a taco shell to prevent spills — this is especially good for little ones.

• “Drip catcher:” Great for wrapping around frozen pops and ice creams.

• Glass cleanser: Clean windows and mirrors using a filter.

• Mini cutting board: Put down a coffee filter when chopping (not slicing) one tomato, onion, etc.

• Handi-wipes: Keep filters in your car for window cleaning, to use as napkins and for quick cleanups.

• Flower-pot liner: Put a filter in the bottom of a small pot when repotting.
