So I've given you one way to use a coffee filter here.
I have yet another helpful tidbit for using those fantastic paper circles!
Of course, you can use them to filter coffee. I know that, but they are so resourceful in your everyday deeds.
It's lunchtime...your stomach is growling and you mosey on over to the fridge. Yes, mosey is a word, the definition is located here at dictionary.com.
So anyway, you mosey on over to the fridge and see what's leftover from yesterday. Oh that scrumptious pasta. Huge stewed tomatoes bathed in garlic and onion marinara, with the Parmesan cheese that had once melted has now congealed over the last of the ziti pasta. I'm drooling already. It sure was good last night at dinner, and it will taste even better for lunch today! So you place your block of cold pasta on a plate and pop it in the microwave. STOP! WAIT! Did you forget about the whole coffee filter thing? Take a coffee filter, and place it on top of your pasta BEFORE you microwave it. OKAY GO! Now set the timer on the microwave for 2 minutes and walk away. You can go check your email really quick, grab a cup of milk and throw in a slice of bread in the toaster and when the chime rings, lunch is served.
So I'm sure you are guessing WHY, just WHY did I put a coffee filter on my plate of pasta? Open your microwave and see... the filter has grabbed every spit of hot pasta sauce that would usually be dangling like volcano ash inside your microwave. Throw said coffee filter in the compost (if it's an unbleached recycled filter) and you now have a stayed-clean microwave!
Feel free to be flexible with what you use the filters for, use it on pasta; spaghetti-ohs, soup, anything!
Enjoy your mess-free microwave today.
