COFFEE FILTERS: Not just for making coffee...

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 from leaking out of a plant pot. Line a plant pot with a coffee
filter to prevent the soil from going through the drainage
holes.

12.Prevent a Popsicle from dripping. Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee
filter.

13.Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows? Use strips of coffee
filters.

14.Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, french fries, chicken fingers,
etc on them. Soaks out all the grease.

15.Keep in the bathroom. They make great "razor nick fixers."
