Use Latex Gloves for Messy Kitchen Tasks
Everyone's in a hurry when preparing meals and cleaning up, so try using medical-type latex gloves when making meatloaf, rolling balls of cookie dough, kneading dough, etc. I don't even take off my rings, and don't have to worry about my nails. The gloves are available on the shelf in one-size-fits-all in almost any pharmacy area, in big boxes of 50 and 100 gloves. They're only a few cents each, and make it so fast to clean up when mixing things by hand or handling raw meat.

If you don't have the gloves, another trick is to put your hands inside regular baggies and when finished, just throw away. Keeps your hands and rings very clean.

Great idea! You may want to get non-latex gloves if you are making food for others. A lot of people are allergic to latex.
Variations
Use Medical Exam Gloves For Messy Tasks
I keep a decorated flower pot on my kitchen counter filled with medical exam gloves. Any time I am going to do something messy with my hands (such as breading chicken, greasing a pan with shortening, tossing a salad, cleaning a pot, etc.), I put on a pair of gloves. They are a lot less cumbersome than the rubber gloves, easy to put on and take off, and readily available.
Great for saving manicures and especially great for preventing the transmission of unwanted germs. I buy mine from an on-line medical supply company.

Once you try the above variations, be sure to come back and give a "thumbs up" to the one that worked the best for you. Do you have a better variation?
