Food waste. I hate it. If I pay for something, I want to use IT ALL. Take this butter wrapper for instance. It’s empty, but still has a slight amount of butter on it. So…..
I fold them into small squares, so I do not lose any of that buttery goodness…..
Pop them into a baggy, squeeze out all of the air and stick it into the freezer. Here are just a few of the uses I’ve found for them over the years.
- Last night I yanked one of these bad boys out of the freezer and rubbed it all over my corn on the cob.
- Grease a cake pan.
- Press something ooey and gooey into a pan (like Rice Krispie Treats!).
- Separate your hamburger patty’s to keep them from sticking together in the freezer.
- Twist them to use as fire starters.
- Lay them over the top of just baked bread and give your bread a light coating of butter. Yum!
The possibilities are endless. Save on people, save on. And let me know in the comments what uses you’ve found for your “empty” butter wrappers.
