| Separating Coffee Filters
|
|
An easy way to get one coffee filter out of a stack is to use a pencil eraser. Simply place the eraser firmly against the side of top filter and slide upwards. This should easily separate one coffee filter and save you a great deal of frustration!

| Transporting Large Quantities of Deviled Eggs
|
|
I recently had to prepare a food for a potluck dinner that was attended by at least 100 members of a Missouri stream team near Eminence, Missouri. That is a 6 hour trip from home. I decided to fix Deviled Eggs - 7 dozen of them!

| Use a Nut Cracker to Open 2 Liter Bottles
|
|
My sister gave me this useful tip. We sometimes have a hard time opening 2 liter bottles. To remedy that, we use a nut cracker. You know the kind that usually comes with the picks? It is just right to go around the lid of the bottle and, in a flash, the bottle is open.

| Potato Masher for Hamburgers
|
|
Almost every kitchen has one of those "old timey" potato mashers which Gramma used in the days before instant mashed or electric mixers. I still have mine and a few years ago, I broke the handle off yet another hamburger flipper.

| Freeze Foods Before Grating
|
|
I used to hate cleaning the grater when I was little. Well, before grating anything, make sure the food is hard or frozen.

| Pasta Gets Out the Last Bit of Sauce
|
|
In my house, every little bit helps. When I make spaghetti, I always put a spoonful of cooked pasta in the jar to get all the sauce. It is so much better than putting water in the jar.

Here is a quick tip. This is something my mother taught me. I always keep a sink of soapy, hot water ready whenever I am cooking. I am constantly cleaning while I am cooking.

| Cut Foods Right in the Can
|
 If you accidentally bought pineapple rings and needed chunks, you will no doubt have to cut them. Why drain them, put them on a counter cutting board or plate and create a mess?

| Use a Cookie Scoops for Meatballs
|
|
When making meatballs, it can be time consuming to roll them by hand. Instead, I use my cookie scoop. It's similar to an ice cream scoop only smaller. It makes nice even size meatballs every time and is much quicker and keeps my hands clean.

| Blow on Saran Wrap To Keep it From Sticking to Itself
|
|
I noticed yesterday that Saran Wrap or any other kind of plastic wrap does better if you blow it gently right as you are handling it. It keeps it from getting stuck together.
