Simple Solutions - Oil

Problem: You fry or saute something and you have a bunch of oil left in the pan. You could pour it into a can, if you have one. You could pour it into a clean diaper, if you have one (another post for another day, but, trust me, it works).

Solution: Drop a piece of bread into the oil. Even pretty dry bread will work. (Try to keep children for snitching a bite out of it first!)

The bread absorbs a lot of oil!

Enough that you can finish up with a paper towel and a good washing.

Quick and easy solution to a greasy problem.
