Coffee Filters
Posted on | February 25, 2010 | No Comments
There aren’t too many new deals floating around right now, so when this came in my e-mail I thought I’d share it. It’s been a while since I mentioned all the great uses for coffee filters, this even reminded me of some I had forgotten. The dollar store usually carries them , I don’t remember how many come to a package but they are very inexpensive and quite versatile.
1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave.
Coffee filters make excellent covers.
2. Clean windows, mirrors, and chrome… Coffee filters are lint-free so
they’ll leave windows sparkling.
3. Protect China by separating your good dishes with 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 from leaking out of a plant pot. Line a
plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through & block 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. It soaks out all the grease.
14. Keep in the bathroom. They make great “razor nick fixers.”
15. As a sewing backing. Use a filter as an easy-to-tear
backing for embroidering or appliqueing soft fabrics.
16. Put baking soda into a coffee filter and insert into shoes or a
closet to absorb or prevent odors.
17. Use them to strain soup stock and to tie fresh herbs in to put in soups
and stews.
18. Use a coffee filter to prevent spilling when you add fluids
to your car.
19. Use them as a spoon rest while cooking and clean up small
counter spills.
20. Can use to hold dry ingredients when baking or when
cutting a piece of fruit or veggies. Saves on having extra bowls to wash.
21. Use them to wrap Christmas ornaments for storage.
22. Use them to remove fingernail polish when out of cotton balls.
23. Use them to sprout seeds. Simply dampen the coffee filter,
place seeds inside, fold it and place it into a plastic baggie until they sprout.
24. Use coffee filters as blotting paper for pressed flowers. Place the
flowers between two coffee filters and put the coffee filters in phone book..
25. Use as a disposable “snack bowl” for popcorn, chips, etc.
