Notes
- No Slip Mixing: If you like to keep one hand free for adding ingredients to your bowl when using a whisk or mixer, you can keep your bowl from sliding around by placing it on a rubber shelf liner or silicone baking sheet liner. The mixing bowl sticks to the liner and stays stable.
- Stable Scooping - Angling a mixing bowl can make it much easier to dig in while scooping out cookie dough. To stabilize your bowl at the perfect angle while keeping your hands free for scooping, place the mixing bowl in a pot lined with a dish towel. The now-secure bowl can be tilted in any direction.
- Mess-Free Pan Spray - If you have ever encountered that oily film on your countertop that resulted from using an aerosol oil spray then you need to try this. Open the door of your dishwasher, lay the item to be greased right on the door, and spray away. Any excess spray will be cleaned off the door the next time you run the dishwasher.
- Getting a Grip on Muffin Tins - Miniature muffin tins are usually fitted with a rim. that is too tiny to grasp with bulky oven mitts. To avoid this struggle, leave one corner empty when you fill you tin. Now you have a place to insert your thumb, allowing you to remove the tin without getting burned or squishing any of the muffins.
