@cleanfreakgermaphobe Like the potato peeling hack..can see where that would save a ton of time as long as you get it on the stove in time. Curious how long you had to boil whole potatoes? Mine were always cut. If you get an early start, I can see where that would be very helpful.

[@deborahbailey292]

I've done the parchment paper cupcake liner hack for a few years, great for cheddar Bay biscuits, etc.fits perfectly, easy to remove, 👍

At least it would be pretty clean.

How do you save time peeling the potatoes if you first have to cut them, then boil them then soak them in ice water? You could have peeled ten times as many potatoes in that time.

I wouldn't eat a potato that's been through the dish washer anyway. The dish washing liquid or powder was not meant to be consumed and it's bound to penitrate the potato during the process.

[@diedlinddado6841]

That is very true.

[@WonderfullyMade_Lex]

💯% my immediate thought.

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

That's why I picked a hack that has you wrap it in foil first. The potato wasn't wet or damp and I think it protects it. Just like when you put a potato in the campfire...

If you are using parchment paper to line a cookie sheet, meatloaf pan, or anything just crunch up the paper in a ball and wet it with cold water under the kitchen sink. Then roll it out onto pan. Works great. You can mold it then. Also ysed for cooking meat in oven.

[@dollyperry3020]

You want to leave some of the parchment in the loaf pan longer to use as handles. It makes it easier to remove the loaf from the pan :)

I've never cooked a potato in a dishwasher, but (having in my youth been both a mechanic and a truck driver) have cooked many things on an engine manifold. Just make SURE you keep your engine WELL degreased and the foil VERY TIGHT so you don't poison yourself!

Not sure if this was mentioned already, but an even quicker and foolproof way to line and baking pan is to scrunch your parchment paper up and then line the tin. Some people dampen it, but I never need to. It makes it so easy to shape it into the corners and have it lie flat. The overhang at the top sits better and it's easier to pour your batter without the paper folding in and getting messed up.

One other hack I use -- when you scrape things off your cutting board, use the back of your knife so you aren't compromising the sharpness of the blade when you most need it.

[@petermurnane5407]

If you want parchment paper to stay in any shaped tin, just crumple it up into a ball then smooth it out flat, and it will line any shaped tin - just press it into the side. Also, the potato thing isn't a bad idea, but a vegetable peeler is much easier and ultimately less work.

[@im1who84u]

I can't remember the last time I peeled potatoes. I just wash them and use them skins and all, even for mashed potatoes, potato salad... However......... If I did want to peel them I would use my Johnny Apple Peeler and think it might do the job depending on the size and shape of the potatoes.

[@skerplatd]

Crumpling the paper works great and doesn't leave leaky corners like the cut out method shown.

[@tommysanta2750]

If you wet your parchment completely, it will form into any pan easily. Squeeze out excess water first. Works every time

[@aeonjoey3d]

we buy the brawny paper towels that are cut multiple times, they're freaking great, we legit use about 1/3 as many paper towels - they're cut longwise and long ways so you end up with square sheets

[@conniepleasantnails]

I like the cutting of the paper towel roll, especially for a single person or someone who lives in a tiny place where counter area is limited. It could probably be hung with a toilet paper roll holder that holds a single roll and is mounted. The kind with an open end. 👍🏼

[@22lyric]

Although you might want to mount under the sink so no one wonders why you have toilet paper in your kitchen.

[@loisruthstrom8143]

@ Jude Kay The open ended holders have a fairly subtle style. If the material matches the faucet or better yet, the cabinet hardware, it should look kitchen- like enough. As long as it's mounted under the cabinet next to the sink and people are told that the paper towels are a half roll, it should be fine. Other people can adapt. 👍🧻

[@TexasLadyS]

They make paper towels that are perforated to be torn into quarter sheets so you can achieve the same result without having to cut the roll.

[@doob7pooh519]

I buy the select-a-size paper towels, tear off the smallest size, and from there just tear off only as much as I need. That works great and saves even more paper.

[@meximlt59]

I learned to boil the potatoes and peel the skin off from my grandmother. I use it primarily to make potato salad but I’m sure it would would work for mashed potato’s, too. I also use strips instead of a sheet of parchment paper in my loaf pans. All I’m really trying to do is remove the loaf easily from the pan and lining the pan with two wide parchment strips (each placed crosswise at each end) does the trick. I do like your hack of molding the squares of parchment on a glass and placing in the muffin tins. I’m going to give it a try the next time I make muffins or rolls. Thanks for the tips!

[@samanthahardy9903]

The ice bath method for the potatoes can also be used to remove the shell from boiled eggs.

[@knowledgetracker]

You don't cut four squares out of the corners of your paper. You cut a diagonal line on each corner up to the length of the square (height of pan) and then those pieces crisscross over each other in your pan so that nothing touches the pan.

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

Much easier to clean and no grease added to the food. I’d also add, better for the environment than an aerosol spray.

To save on paper towels I use reusable napkins. I keep a basket full of them near my paper towels. You can make them yourself. But I have found them on 90% holiday clearance. My laundry room is right off my kitchen so I just throw them as used in the washer. I have cut my paper towel usage down to maybe 1 roll per month.

In the late 80s I heard about dishwasher cooking. Someone successfully did a fish. An egg will soft boil. The food was sealed in a container while the dishwasher ran so there was no chance of contamination. I agree it’s a fail and my husband and I still laugh about the effort.

[@kelleywyskiel8513]

That’s brilliant. I was thinking the oil defeated my use of parchment paper in the first place so water will be fantastic. In my mind adding spray before a liner means I now have to wash a dish I wouldn’t have had to scrub by using a liner on it. Thank you.

If you want to save money on paper towels, purchase a set of 6 wash cloths, and keep a clean one at the kitchen sink. We begin each day with a fresh cloth and put the soiled one in the laundry. We've found that about half of our paper towel use was simply for drying clean things. Use the cloth for that instead. We reserve paper towel usage for wiping up and discarding messes.

[@22lyric]

Remember how big the paper towels USED to be? Can't believe they weren't changed a long time ago. Awhile back my husband would tear several paper towels in half (the new smaller ones) I realized I could get away with the small squares most of the time. So I cut up a bunch with a scissors. But cutting the whole roll is a GREAT idea! Thank you!

Pro tip for parchment paper that will not conform to containers: cut to needed size then ball it up, 'crinkling' it thoroughly. Now it will sit where you put it.

Since you seem to like potatoes, I got the best hack for you. Yep! Frozen potatoes, by Ore-Ida called Home Style, steam and mash. Throw them in microwave for 10 minutes. You can mash them or not. They come cubed. Use them in potato salad, mash them, use in casseroles, very easy and much better than any of the hacks I saw in your video.

I've used the paper towel hack for a long time. Difference is that I place the rolls in opposite directions so that as one unrolls, the other one rolls up. Thus keeping the rolls neat. This hack is especially useful if you have mistakenly purchased the old standard rolls with square sheets.

[@donaldperez7981]

I've tried to cut the paper towel roll, but in my opinion it just made a mess; and the knife was extra sharp. So what I do instead is, I purchase the roles that have not as wide sheets of paper that have a perforated cut out every 4-inches. Sometimes I use the rolls that are 12 inches wide before the perforated line. I then separate them & stack them up and cut them. But depending on the brand, you may end up using more.

I like the potato peel hack. Definitely will try it. For the parchment paper in a bread pan - I cut a piece that’s just barely the length inside bottom, and cut it long enough to reach over both edges of the pan. The ends aren’t necessary. I put olive oil on my hands and rub both sides of the parchment, along with the ends of my glass pan. Then after it’s baked, run a knife along the end edges and lift it out with the paper that hangs over the sides. It’s easy and saves on parchment.

Next peel if you wish or leave the peel and thickly slice and fry in bacon or ham fat or olive oil, whatever oil you like. Best fried potatoes ever!
