Multi-Task To Save $$$

In these financially tough times, it’s great to be able to multi-task products in your home. Here are some easy tips:

Use Alka Seltzer for removing burned food from cookware – dissolve a few tablets in water in the pan and let sit for a few minutes before cleaning

Add a few marshmallows to a bag of brown sugar before closing the bag and it will keep the sugar soft.

Dip a spoon in a bit of vegetable oil before spooning honey and it will keep the honey from adhering to the spoon surface.

Lemons can help to remove soft cheese particles from a grater- just rub half a lemon across the grating surface before using

Always keep baking soda handy in the kitchen – not only does a box in the fridge help to absorb odors, but it can be used to extinguish a grease or electrical fire. You can also use it to clean a stainless steel coffee pot or an encrusted BBQ grill.
