If you’ve got an extra muffin tin or two in your kitchen, take a look at some ways to make them useful when you’re not baking:
- Craft Supplies: easily hold and organize your craft supplies by placing them in the containers of a muffin tin.
- Desk Organizer: use an old muffin tin in a drawer of your desk to hold rubber bands, paper clips, push pins, and other office supplies.
- Chip and Dip Tray: in a pinch, you can use a muffin tray as a way to set out portions of snacks like chips, popcorn and pretzels with appropriate dips and condiments.
- Hold Ingredients While Cooking:
Instead of littering your table or counter top with endless bowls while whipping up a meal for the family, use your muffin tin to hold grated cheese, minced garlic or chopped onion.
- Jewelry Holder: set up a dresser with a muffin tin to hold jewelry like earrings, bracelets, rings and necklaces.
