Paper Towel Helper
Oh, hail the paper towel! I use this a lot in the kitchen. In fact, it’s one of the things I buy often at the grocery. Paper towels were a result of an error, according to this book on household tips I’m reading. They didn’t use to come in perforated form and was slightly bigger. But the error turned out to be a blessing as it is how we have our paper towels today.
Paper towels make excellent coffee filter, in case you run out of these. There’s no reason to panic if you can’t have your cup of coffee. As long as you have a paper towel, caffeine is still good to go!

If you’re a bacon-loving family, but hate the fat, dab the bacon strips on a paper towel first before serving this to your family. The paper towel will absorb all the fat and you’d also have crispier bacon strips to serve. I do the same for any other fried food like pork chops, luncheon meat and the likes.
Bread that has been kept inside the refrigerator will turn soggy once it is out of it. Keep them dry and fresh by putting a paper towel in the bag.
Keep vegetables fresh inside the vegetable bin by lining the sides and bottom with paper towel. It will also make cleaning up this bin easier.
Use paper towel to clean the can opener. Over time, its use get a little bit rusty and grungy. Scrub this with a toothbrush first, and then wipe it clean with paper towel. You’d have a sharper can opener after that.
