We love them. But who has the money or the storage space to own every gadget that comes along? The secret to kitchen simplicity is com- ing up with several other uses for the same gadget. I'm not sure there is such a thing as a "cheese crumbler," but if there is, do not purchase it. You already have one. QUICK CRUMBLES. To crumble a large amount of bleu cheese, goat cheese or cheese that's been frozen, grab a cooling rack and a paper towel. Place the cooling rack on the paper towel and carefully rub and push the cheese through the large grating in the rack. The cheese will be crumbled on the paper towel. LIKE A GLOVE. While cook- ing, keep a small plastic baggie near the telephone. If someone calls while you have both hands messy, you can put your hand in the bag and then pick up the phone. GOOD TO THE LAST CRUMB. Wonder what to do with the hardened edges of brownies or the last few that hardened before they could be consumed? Send them through the food processor and then place the crumbs in a plastic bag in the freezer. Sprinkle on ice cream or cakes for extra chocolate flavoring. This works great with stale or crispy (not burned) cook- ies, too. CHEAP BAGS. Grocery stores will some- times sell customers their meat or produce bags for a very low price. You can use them for your produce, sand- wiches and cheese. Twisting them several times at the top will keep the produce inside fresh. And the roll lasts forever, too. QUICK FIX. If your pot is about to boil over (even after you have turned down the burn- er), throw a couple of metal spoons into the pot. The metal will absorb some of the heat and prevent your meal from spilling all over the stove. NEAT DE-FAT. When remov- Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate ing the fat from homemade chick- en stock, cover the container with plastic wrap, pressing it down so the wrap is directly touching the surface of the stock. Place in the refrigerator. The next day, peel off the plastic wrap and discard. The fat will come off with the plastic wrap. ROLLING CUTTER. When chopping herbs like basil, cilantro or parsley, use a pizza-cutter instead of a knife. It cuts a large amount of herbs quickly. ANY SHAPE AT ALL. Kids often enjoy having pancakes made in the shape of their initials, but it is nearly impossible to form the letters when pouring the batter from a pitcher or ladle. Instead, try using a large medicine dropper or turkey baster to dispense the batter into the hot pan. You'll have better control to make the shapes you want. If you have another use for one of your kitchen or household gadgets, I'd love to hear about it. Using "this for that" is another way to save money and save space, too.
