Ingredients
  • Safe stacking: Put a coffee filter between plates when storing or packing for a move.
  • 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.
  • ·

Great ideas Tippy - thanks so much! :)
Edit - I wonder if filters would work on these new fangled computer screens-you know the ones that go all crazy when you touch the screen? I can't seem to find those "micro-cloths" they used to suggest worked best for the screens. What do you think?
