Coffee Filter Uses II

I found some more tips, tricks and hints where coffee filters would work well and/or are an ideal solution.

- Children love popsicles, but it often turns into a mess. Use a coffee filter to catch the drips by poking a hole in the center of it and place the stick through the hole. For an ice cream cone; simply put the cone in the center of the filter and hold the cone with the filter.
- Oil used for deep frying can be reused after draining it through a coffee filter.
- To keep your blueberries from going down the drain, put them in a coffee filter and then wash them.
- Shine your shoes by applying a clean coffee filter to buff them, after applying the shoe polish on your shoes.
- Coffee filters make good chip bowls.
- Cooking with herbs: wrap them in a coffee filter. Cut away the excess and tie it with a piece of cotton twine. This makes it easier to remove after cooking.
- Did you know you could bake a giant cupcake in a coffee filter?
- Keep food from splattering by covering it with a coffee filter when (re)heating it in the microwave.

I have some more tips to share. It may be a good idea to print all of these tips out when I am done and keep them handy. You never know when you might need them and while it is printing, have a cup of java.

Oh, don't forget to save the used filter!
