Using Masking Tape in the Kitchen

By Julea (Guest Post)

We use Masking tape to initial things in the refrigerator that we want to save,i.e. the last piece of pie or take-out food we want for lunch tomorrow, etc. Anything without someone's mark is fair game for any of the frige raiders in the house!

I also use masking tape to label food containers with contents and dates when I do bulk cooking. I put the extra batches into the freezer when they've cooled.

Works great to label containers with leftovers with the date.

About 25 years ago when we first moved to Houston the humidity completely caught me off guard. Many things which i stuck on the shelf in the original containers had to be sealed up. I took a Smuckers jelly jar with the purple and white gingham checks on the lid and put a box of salt in it. I cut off the label reading Iodized Salt and taped it with clear tape to the side of the jar. I still have it. I now use masking tape on my Folger's coffee containers to indicate what is inside. We buy a lot of things in bulk and canisters for all that stuff would be a formidable expense.
