Coffee Filters--who knew?
Jamie
1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters
make excellent covers.
2. Clean windows and mirrors. Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll
leave windows sparkling.
3. Protect China. Separate your good dishes by putting a coffee filter
between each dish.
4. Filter broken cork from wine. If you break the cork when opening a
wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.
5. Protect a cast-iron skillet. Place a coffee filter in the skillet
to absorb moisture and prevent rust.
6. Apply shoe polish. Ball up a lint-free coffee filter.
7. Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined
with a coffee filter.
8. Weigh chopped foods. Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter
on a kitchen scale.
9. Hold tacos. Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy
foods.
10. Stop the soil=2 0from leaking out of a plant pot. Line a plant
pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through the
drainage holes.
11. Prevent a Popsicle from dripping. Poke one or two holes as needed
in a coffee filter.
12. Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows? Use strips
of coffee filters.
13. Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, French fries,
chicken fingers, etc on them. Soaks out all the grease.

I don't drink coffee either, I should add.

In a pinch, I guess. Tried this very thing a little while back and
the sediment clogged the filter almost immediately.
