10 ‘new’ Uses for Ziplock Bag

I just want to add to the comments below…. on number 4) you can also attach real design tips to the ziplock bags (like wilton tips). The tips are for different designs

and also on number 7) you can use it to make all kinds of crusts for cheesecakes, mini cheesecakes, trifles, parfaits (anything you need crushed cookies in) :) 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In 1963 a unique bag with a plastic zipper seal was introduced at a packaging trade show. Now, it has become a kitchen staple.

Use Ziploc Bags to:

1. Knead dough. Place dough in a Ziploc bag so your fingers don’t get sticky. Or slip your hand into the bag and wear it like a glove.

2. Store panty hose. Nude, Tan, Nearly Naked―they look the same out of the package. Tear off the corner of the package listing the brand, size, and color, then slip it into a bag. Store each pair in its own bag to keep hose organized and prevent snags.

3. Remove chewing gum or candle wax from a tablecloth, a couch, or carpeting.Gently rub gum or wax with a Ziploc bag filled with ice cubes until the substance hardens. Shatter gum with a blunt object, then vacuum up the chips. Carefully peel off frozen wax with a plastic spatula.

4. Pipe frosting. Snip off a tiny corner to use a Ziploc as a pastry bag.

5. Store homemade soup. Fill up bags, then lay them flat in the freezer. When the bags of soup freeze flat, you’ll be able to pile them up like stacked books for easy, space-saving storage.

6. Protect precious cargo. No bubble wrap? Slip a straw into the top of a nearly closed Ziploc bag and inflate. Remove the straw and seal to make a cushion. (Heirlooms, however, should wait for that bubble wrap.)

7. Break up graham crackers or vanilla wafers to make a piecrust. Fill a bag with the cookies, then roll a rolling pin over it.

8. Prevent a handbag from turning into a snow globe. Store pressed powder and other compacts in Ziploc bags.

9. Gather herbs from the garden. Before winter frost sets in, wash, pat dry, and freeze the herbs in Ziploc bags.

10. Ice an injury. Fill a bag with ice cubes to create a cold compress.
