Maybe a couple of useful hacks? [View all]

I thought of them, but don't know if they are original.

If you are measuring rice, or other items that require 2 to one, or other ratios, and you don't have a measuring cup, use a drinking glass with straight sides. Measure the amount of rice you want, and then strap a rubber band around the glass at the top of the rice. Dump the rice into a pan nd then use the rubber band to measure the water you need. I never want a standard measure of rice and this was a nice way to get 3 servings, not 4.

The other one is storage. I just got a 4 lb. bag of sugar, mainly for hummingbird food, but definitely not ants. I had some 1 gal. water bottles I saved and using a funnel, transferred the sugar from the bag to the jug. I cut the label off the bag and taped it to the bottle. Space saver, protects from vermin and moisture. I may use the jugs to store flour. We'll see

Does anyone else do things in the kitchen that might be unique?
