Many blogs out there do a Works for Me Wednesday. I don't know that I will have one for you every Wednesday but if I have little tips to share I'll post them on Wednesday.
Today I am sharing a tip for getting oil into fry pans when making french toast or pancakes when you just want a bit but inevitably the bottle will pour out too much and you're faced with a decision--find a coffee cup to try to pour the extra off into (risking it dripping onto your floor or counter) or making an extra oily batch.
I have a griddle on my 'Santa wish' list but for now, when making toast or pancakes I usually have two or three fry pans going at a time so that is a lot of re-oiling.

I have no idea where I picked up this idea along the way but here it is: I cut a clean potato in half and stab a fork in one end. Then I pour a small amount of oil into a bowl.

Wow that's a very innovative way of oiling a pan! Thank you for the tip!
ReplyDelete:) Neat trick. That baby of yours has gotten so fat! He's looking like my sluggy siblings when they were babies. Haha!
ReplyDeleteThat is a good trick to have up your sleeve!
ReplyDeleteThat baby is a fat little reason to squeeze something! Too cute!
