Brilliant ideas yay 😀

superb!

Thanks very helpful should be using some of these

The microwave one is super helpful!

Wonderful !!!

I put plastic wrap inside of meaure cups for sticky substances like syrup and honey. When you are ready to use it just pierce a hole in the bag and squeeze all of it out! This will make clean up easier!

Don't even attempt #6. It'll just get more egg shells in your bowl

14 doesn't work

First, be very careful warming the milk in a closed glass jar. I read where the glasses sometimes exploded. Hack- Put a slice of bread in a container of hard cookies and they will soften up.

Its just so great. Thanks a lot for these.
