Things You'll Need:
- Coffee filters
- Time
-
Step 1
Use them as a lid to cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave.
-
Step 2
Use filters to clean windows and mirrors, they are lint-free and leave windows sparkling clean.
-
Step 3
Place several filters between china dishes to store them.
-
Step 4
Filters work well as a strainer or sieve. Use them to strain wine if the cork breaks or to strain used cooking oil.
-
Step 5
Protect pots and pans. Place several coffee filters between pans to protect them from scratching and moisture. This works very well with cast iron pans.
-
Step 6
Fold a filter and use it to apply shoe polish. They are lint free, and disposable.
-
Step 7
Wrap them around a sandwich for neater eating. They can soak up drippings from a messy sandwich.
-
Step 8
Line the bottom of a planter to hold back the soil from falling through the drain hole.
-
Step 9
Keep ice cream on a stick from dripping. Cut a small hole in the center of the filter, and then put the ice cream stick through the hole.
-
Step 10
Place several filters under fried foods, bacon, chicken, fries and more.
