Creating Coffee a cup above the rest

When preparing your coffee process, if you put a dash of salt into the fresh grounds, your fresh brewed coffee will be less bitter...or you may use a fresh egg shell...you will get the same effect.

Getting Off a Tight Ring!!

To get a tight ring off your finger, all you have to do is spray a little Windex on your finger and wiggle the ring. It will come off very easily. Then you can clean your ring with the spray and an old toothbrush.

Cleaning Countertop Grill & Griddle

Place a moist SCOTT Towel between the plates of your countertop grill while it is still hot, but unplugged. After eating, when it has cooled, just wipe the grill clean. Do the same with the griddle. Place moist towels on the warm surface. It makes for easy clean-up after eating.

Organizing Your Spices

I have a lazy susan in the corner cupboard of my kitchen. I put my spices alphabetically around the bottom shelf. I spin the shelf and find the spice I need easily. It saves lots of time searching for the right one!

Can't Find an Elastic Band?

I buy bigger bags of frozen veggies because they're more economical. When opening one of these bags, cut a strip at the end of the bag (width-wise) almost all the way to the end. Take out the veggies you need and then twirl the bag shut and use the "self-made tie" to close it. It works great!

Needle and Thread

If you know someone with eye or finger problems, thread a bunch of needles with different colored thread. That way they can fix little things without having to wait for someone to do it for them.
