Alternate Uses

My daughter uses the measure mix n pour for mixing up her chocolate milk - it is real easy for her to pour into her glass after mixing

Salad and Berry Spinner as an ice bucket. The basket inside the big container helps keep the ice from the melting water. One of my hostesses gave me that idea.

That is another great idea!

Ok here's mine:

I use the prep bowls to make jello and pudding cups.

I use the Large micro cooker to boil chicken in the microwave. Cover the frozen chicken breast with water. Microwave for 10-15 minutes.

I use the mini whipper for any powdered sauce mix and soup...makes it smooth every time.

If you have the new Jell-O Pudding Singles, the Prep Bowls are perfect. Put in the milk. Add the pudding. Put on the lid. Shake. Brings back memories of Shake-A-Puddin'.

this is a good thread

I use the mix n chop to mash potatoes

I use the mix n chop to mash up peaches for jam. I use the apple wedger for potatoes, pears, cucumbers, onions and to make cheese wedges. The measure mix and pour is a great tool for mixing up eggs to scramble. You can put 5 eggs in it, mix, and use the pour spout to put them in the pan.
The Rotary Grater for nuts, chocolate, and m&m's.
And of course the stainless mixing bowl for putting sonic ice in after the bowl has been in the freezer. Not to mention putting the largest one on your head in case of an alien invasion.

The Stackable Cooling Rack in a cooler when you are camping will keep your food out of the water when your ice melts.

The 2 Cup Measure All full of stuffing: put in the turkey cavity and push (amazing number of people do not like to touch a raw turkey)

I'm not sure about the rest of the junk on this list, but this one is by far the best!! ROTFL

For real though- GREAT list there are some super ideas here.

I love the mix n masher. Someone on here raved about it and I got one. It is great for mashed potatoes if you don't have a mixer or even if you do. It requires no electricity. I used it for mixing up my homemade applesauce in my executive cookware the other day. It did a great job.

Just got done doing the same thing!

Most of you already know or have suggested at some point...

I use the micro-cooker for FROZEN ground beef, and it's built in grease drainer can't be beat. With the Mix N Chop, amazing.

I use the Mix N Chop for: ground everything, mashed potatoes, guacamole and refried beans, roasted garlic (SOOOO yummy when micro'd per white chicken chili recipe)

Salad Chopper: (You already know this) - Salads, Pico, Fajitas, & Noodles....all powered by my kiddos.

Egg Slicer Plus for Bananas, Kiwi and Black Olives, mozarrella balls

Fluted Pan: "Fancy" Meatloaf, "Fancy" Shepherd's Pie, Stuffed Peppers, and Micro Cakes...I'm wanting to try Jello in this (lol)

Core & More makes Stuffed Jalapenos super fast, Coring Tomatoes for Salad Chopper.

Dots Trio - Perfect for a young girl who is starting her jewelry collection (one for rings, one for earrings, etc)....Office supplies for the "fun" career woman looking to personalize her office.

Sundried Tomato Parmesan Oil Dipping - Yummy on Pork Tenderloin, "Garlic" Bread, Dressing

Parmesan Garlic - Elevates Spaghetti Sauce and Bread and Caesar Salad

Rosemary Mix is great on Eye of Round

Jamaican Jerk Rub on Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Green Apples & Onion Blend

Again, nothing original....but some of my fav's.

I use the stackable cooling rack turned upside down and legs open (stop thinking dirty thoughts LOL) and then I place the large bar pan on top of it after I take it out of the oven. It works great for carrying it..fits tight and you can set it right on the table without having to use hot pads.

Reminds me of another tip I got....use the cooling rack to sprinkle powder sugar over a batch of brownies....the rack is the exact length of our large bar pan and it makes a checkerboard sugar design.

My best HOST ever told these to me

Love the laptop idea!
