Great uses for Coffe Filters

COFFEE FILTERS
The key is to buy them at the dollar store. Much cheaper than paper towels. Coffee filters ..who knew! And you can buy 1,000 at the Dollar Tree.
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."
