Coffee filters ..who knew! And you can buy 1,000 at the

Dollar Tree for almost nothing.

COFFEE FILTERS: Not just for making coffee...

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 nickfixers."

 
I switched to a screen filter for my coffee maker, have lots of old paper filters Thanks for this smileys/smile.gif

 
I "think" I have one of these metal screen filters, if anyone wants it. I stopped using

it after reading the paper filters capture the bitter coffee oils than the metal does.

To be honest, my taste buds aren't sophisticated enough to know the difference.

If I haven't donated it already, I'll mail it off to whomever asks first.
