Don't you love it when you can find a use for something that you would normally throw away?
If you eat cereal, then this tip's for you. Save the plastic liners from inside your cereal box.
Cut the bottom off and then slit them up the seam. Wash them off with your dishcloth and then set them aside. (I keep a few clipped together with a chip clip.)
These work great for breading and/or pounding meat and fish. The plastic is thicker than regular waxed paper or plastic wrap and when you are finished you can just toss it out.
So, remember this tip the next time you are preparing chicken, fish, or round steak.

What a great idea! Thanks for sharing…. On another note, I love the tablecloth behind the cereal box. It looks “vintage”–it reminds me of an old tablecloth I have with so many holes in it that I really can’t use it, but because I can’t bear to throw it away, I keep it in my picnic basket to use for those occasions. I remember it on the kitchen table when I was a little girl.

This tip reminds me of my grandmother – she saved everything and found a good use for most of it, too.

Great tip! Thanks!
Cereal bags also work great for rolling out pie dough — especially the (easier) oil pastry I like to make in a pinch!
