Greasing the pan
I always place a sandwich baggie over my hand before greasing a pan(such as a 9X13 pan), or before spreading cake/cookie/bar dough in a pan. Many cake, casserole and other recipes call for the pan to be greased. Many other recipes ask for you to smooth the mixture out in the pan.Place the baggie over your hand, grease the pan,then pull the baggie off when done so the greased part is now on the inside of the baggie. Same when spreading a sticky or doughy mixture, Then throw the baggie away and call it good! No fuss, no muss!

Bread that's ready to bake
I got tired of having to gather and measure ingredients, then wash dishes when making bread in my bread maker. I now measure all the dry ingredients (except yeast) for a single loaf of bread and put into a Ziploc Storage Bag. I make up 10-20 of these. When I want to bake bread, I just add water and yeast and there is no mess to clean up!

Getting to the bottom of flour
I hate when I use my canister for flour and sugar etc.. and the scoop cannot get the last bit to use up when baking/cooking. I use the gallon size and quart size as a liner in my canisters and now when I want to et the las bit I can just pull the Ziploc Bag out and pour into measuring cup. This also helps keep the critters out by zipping up the bags in the canister.

Storing brown sugar
When I open a new bag of brown sugar I immediately put the sugar in a Ziploc Bag (1 gal). I can put my measuring cups directly into the bag to pack the sugar without making a mess. And I never have to worry about hard brown sugar!

Icing cakes
I like to use the Ziploc Storage Bags to ice cookies and cakes. Put you icing in and zip up.. then clip the bottom corner and ready to ice. Cut smaller holes for detail work.

Ready-to-grill entrees
Every Sunday night I go grocery shopping. When I come home I put 3-4 pounds of chicken, beef, and fish into separate Ziploc Freezer Bags- then I add different seasonings to each bag and PRESTO- I have lots of entrees ready to grill, throw in a crock pot or bake. I cook my ground beef and freeze it in quart size freezer bags to add to soups and sauces. One night of meal prep makes a whole week of easy to cook meals!
