Cool Uses for Coffee Filters
Unusual uses for coffee filters. Buy the cheap bulk ones for these tips.
Safe stacking: Put a coffee filter between plates when storing or packing for a move.
For nonstick pots and pans use one to keep the surface from being scratched when you stack them. ·
“Snack bowls”: Use coffee filters as a disposable “snack bowl” for popcorn, chips, etc. ·
Prevent spills: Wrap a filter around a taco shell to prevent spills — this is especially good for little ones. ·
“Drip catcher:” Great for wrapping around frozen pops and ice creams. ·
Glass cleanser: Clean windows and mirrors using a filter. ·
Mini cutting board: Put down a coffee filter when chopping (not slicing) one tomato, onion, etc. ·
Handi-wipes: Keep filters in your car for window cleaning, to use as napkins and for quick cleanups. ·
Flower-pot liner: Put a filter in the bottom of a small pot when repotting.
Use as a spoon plate when mixing hot stuff next to microwave,saves clean up.

When cooled: Put the grated coconut into a small bowl and set it next to the plate of the mixture.
