Some helpful Hints sent in by a couple of readers on other uses for your Coffee Filters.
* Because coffee filters are absorbent, use for soaking up oil after frying foods. Simply lay a filter flat on a plate, and place your freshly fried food on top. Let rest for a minute, and all that excess oil will soak into the filter.
* After rinsing your fresh greens, wrap in a coffee filter before storing in your fridge. They'll keep your fresh stuff nice and crisp.
* Cover bowls or dishes with coffee filters when cooking in the microwave, they make excellent covers.
* If you save your cooking oil for reuse after deep-fat frying, line your sieve with a basket-style coffee filter to remove smaller food remnants and impurities.
* Filter broken cork from wine. If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.
* Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter.
* Simmer flavor into soups, stews, and sauces without having to dig out stems of herbs by using a coffee filter to make a bouquet garni.
