Many people today are looking for ways they can be more environmentally friendly, as well as save time and money. Learning which household products are reusable can help you to accomplish all of those goals. There are actually many different household products that can be considered as reusable.
Foil pans and pie cans are household products that can be used again and again for broiling, baking and reheating food. Simply wash them, dry well, and then reuse them. You can also use these household products as freezer containers. Just fill and then wrap and place in the freezer.
Other household products that can be easily reused include glass jars, such as pasta sauce and jam jars. You can reuse glass jars to give gifts of cookies, candies or jam. Cut a square of greaseproof, patterned paper, wrap it over the jar’s open top, and secure with twine for an attractive, home-made gift packaging solution.
Glass jars can also be used for storing bulk cereals, grains, spices or baking supplies. In addition, you can use these household products for storing sauces, canning and salsas.
The plastic trays that commonly come with pastries and cookies are household products that you can reuse when you freeze fresh meat or poultry portions. They make excellent freezer containers because the meat will lie flat and then slip more easily into freezer bags. In addition, the tray will help to contain the meat juices. Plastic trays can also be used in place of paper plates when you are on a picnic, as well. They also work well for placing under plants to catch drips and prevent messes.
Reusing household products can prevent last minutes dashes to the store, saving you both time and money. As an added bonus, you’re being eco friendly as well.
