Here's some tips for using coffee filters:

 1. Cover  bowls or dishes when cooking in the  microwave.   Coffee filters make excellent  covers. 

2.  Clean windows and  mirrors.  Coffee filters are lint-free so 
they'll leave windows  sparkling. 
3.   Protect China.  Separate your good dishes by putting a coffee  filter between each dish.

4.   Filter broken cork from wine.  If you break the cork when opening a wine  bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.

5.   Protect a cast-iron skillet.  Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust.

6.   Apply shoe polish.  Ball up a lint-free coffee filter. 

7.   Recycle frying oil.  After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter.

8.   Weigh chopped foods.  Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a  kitchen scale. 

9.   Hold tacos.  Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy  foods. 

10. Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot.  Line a plant 
pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going 
through  the drainage holes.

11.   Prevent a Popsicle from dripping.  Poke one or two holes as 
needed in a coffee filter.

12.   Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows?  Use strips of coffee filters.

13.   Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, French fries, 
 chicken  fingers, etc on them.  Soaks out all the grease. 

14.   Keep in the bathroom.  They make great "razor nick fixers."
15.  Use them for your snacks while sitting around the campfire.   
OH YEAH THEY ARE GREAT TO USE IN YOUR 
COFFEE MAKERS
