The Many Uses of Kitchen Items

So many fun and handy kitchen items, so little time to count the ways they improve our lives every day.

Plastic Wrap - Perfect for sticking ONLY to itself -- and ONLY when you don't want it to.

Aluminum Foil - When aligning 2 edges together to fold them over, this wonderful substance is second to none in cutting painful slices in finger tips.

Tupperware and other similar containers - Serves well when you need a dishless lid to use as a plant drip pan.

Metal serving spoon (found in cutlery sets) - Excellent for sliding down the side of the inside of the pot, to become completely submerged in the simmering sauce you are stirring.

Wire cooling racks - The devices to which your cookies will permanently get stuck if you leave them cooling for too long.

Hand-held can opener - Perfect for shaving those thread-like slivers of metal from your canned goods.

Tongs - Excellent for reaching things up on a tall shelf, and then losing their grip JUST as the heavy item is poised directly above your bare toes.

Pot Holders - Those handy-dandy items whose thread-bare spots you don't notice until after you've just pulled the 10-pound roasted chicken from the oven.

Did I miss anything? Please share your experiences with your favourite kitchen toys that you just can't hurt yourself live without! =)
