Without a helper, it's impossible to hold a big bowl still while you're whisking egg whites with one hand and adding sugar with the other. When two hands aren't enough, ingenuity has to kick in. Use this handy trick the next time you're blending ingredients.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Kitchen Towel

Step 1

Wet a kitchen towel until it's evenly damp.
Step 2

Twist it diagonally, rolling it tightly across two opposite corners.
Step 3

Form a circle with the towel at the center of your work surface and overlap the ends in a loose knot.

Place the ring on your work surface and rest the bowl's base on the ring, pressing it firmly into the towel base. The bowl will stay steady as you continue mixing or blending.
