Measuring Shortening Without the Mess |
|
|
When I was a little girl, I invented a little "short-cut" in cleaning up after myself when I was done baking.
As we all know, cleaning measuring cups with leftover shortening on them can be quite a pain, so I would use plastic wrap, cover the entire length of the cup, its depth, and width, and pack the required amount of shortening, making sure to fill any bubbles or holes. When I was done with the measuring cup full of shortening, I would simply throw the plastic wrap away. This tip is valuable in saving a lot of cleanup time. I hope you try it and see how easy it is!

Never thought of that. I do something similar in greasing pans for cakes. Use either wrap or a baggie with hand in bag or surrounded with wrap, grap grease and spread it in pan. When finished throw away or let sit in can for next time.

An easy way to measure shortening is by adding to a measuring cup an amount of water minus the amount of shortening needed. For a 1/2 cup of shortening add 1/2 cup of water to a a 1 cup measuring cup before adding the shortening. Add shortening until the water level reaches one cup and there you have 1/2 cup of shortening. Easy to clean.
