Tips

This year everyone is talking about brining the Thanksgiving turkey. The instructions say to "soak the turkey in a clean 5 gallon bucket". Once the turkey is in the bucket, where am I going to put it to keep the turkey cold?? I live in Hawaii! A co-worker told me she uses her beach cooler. OK, now we're getting somewhere. I use a Ziploc Big Bag to soak the turkey and covered it with a 20 pound bag of ice. Perfect!! I could easily turn the turkey to make sure all sides were evenly soaked... The turkey was great! Thanks for making a product big enough to hold a 21 lb turkey with 2 gallons of brine. Happy Thanksgiving!

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!

When taking a sandwich for lunch, I put my pickles and tomato slices in a snack size Ziploc. The bread and meat go in a sandwich bag. I add the veggies right before I eat, thus no soggy sandwich.

The snack size are perfect for diabetics. We are only alloted so many grapes, nuts & raisins per day. When I buy in large amounts I measure everything into the baggies. Then I can just grab my allotment for the day. It is perfect to take with me when I dont know how long I will be away from home. Perfect to take to the movies.

When I take a salad to work I put my salad dressing in a Ziploc Sandwich Bag, then put it inside the container with my salad. (I sometimes do the same thing with meat or cheese that will be added to the salad.)Then when I am ready to eat my salad I take the bag out, clip off a bottom corner, squeeze the dressing on my salad,then dispose of the bag. There is no soggy salad and no messy dressing container to wash.

For the Holidays, I make my mashed potatoes in advance and put them in a Ziploc Bag. I fill them up just enough so they lie flat when filled up with the potates. Do not over-fill or they will not heat evenly. Then we we are ready to dinner, I place them on a microwave-safe dish and heat them up in the micro. This saves a lot of time, and they are just as good, if not better.

Ziploc Bags make candymaking a breeze. I just fill a Ziploc Bag with chocolate pieces, toss in the microwave, heat and kneed as needed, and snip a small piece from a corner and squeeze into candymolds, then chill for a neat, no-mess treat.

I wash grapes and pick them off the stem so that my children choose them for an easy snack, however I also place a piece of paper towel in the bag with them. They last a long time this way. It also works with tossed salads for a quick meal without the fuss of chopping veggies every time.

I got tired of having to gather and measure ingredients, then wash dishes when making bread in my bread maker.

When I want to bake bread, I just add water and yeast and there is no mess to clean up!

When I am asked to bring a dish I always want to bring deviled eggs but they are hard to transport because they move on the plate and create a mess. I now travel with the stuffing for the egg white in a Ziploc Bag. When I reach my destination I snip the corner of the bag and decorate the egg whites and end up with beautiful stuffed deviled eggs.

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.

When we were overrun with small ants in our cabinets, we put the boxes in Ziploc Bags and sealed them tight. It works great and keeps the food fresh and ant free.

Put one Ziploc Bag with holes inside another Ziploc Bag without holes to use for a strainer or to marinade or even bread your food without the mess. We just started camping and you need many conviences when you are limeted for space. This would eliminate the use of bowls that take up a lot of space on the counter and in the refrigerator when cooking.

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!

When fresh lemon juice is needed, I just slice a lemon and pop it into the Ziploc Bag. Squeezing the lemon is much neater in a Ziploc Bag! No messy hands! When the lemon is juiced, I just snip the corner of the bag and pour the juice. Voila!

I was tired of the awful smell coming from my garbage! Then one day I was throwing out an old onion in a Ziploc Bag, and a lightbulb went on over my head! Now, I recycle old Ziploc Bags into sealable garbage bags for food scraps, onion peels, etc. My garbage doesn't smell anymore!

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.
