10 unexpected ways to use paper coffee filters

1. If you have a service that requires extra gentle handling, place paper filters between the plates and saucers. This will protect the cookware from scratches and chips.

2. If you don't feel like messing your dishes, use a coffee filter instead of a bowl to stack popcorn, chips, and other snacks. He has the perfect shape for this.

3. Unlike paper towels, paper coffee filters have no small lint that sticks to the glass. So they are perfect for cleaning. Polish windows and mirrors with them.

4. It is convenient to wipe and polish stainless steel items with the filter. The same rule applies here as with glass: it will not leave any lint on the taps and dishes.

5. Insert the coffee filter into the flower pot before adding soil. Excess water will pass through the paper into the sump, but there will be less dirt. Plus, thanks to the filter, it is more convenient to transplant the plant into another pot.

6. Place the filter in a colander or strainer. This will help if the holes are too large and small pieces of food pass through them.

7. Make a hole in the center of the filter and insert an ice cream stick. This way, drops of the melted dessert will remain on paper, and not on hands and clothes.

8. Take a filter to grease a baking sheet with oil. You can do this with a paper towel, but it will likely leave nasty lint, but a coffee filter will not.

9. If you don't have a microwave lid on hand, cover your plate of food with a filter. It will protect against splashing.

10. Place fried zucchini or donuts that have too much oil on the filter and the filter will absorb the excess fat.
