6 Tips to Keep Your Kitchen Clean While You Cook

The kids are home from school in the summer and there are more family parties to go around! If you want to cook a great meal and avoid an agonizing clean up, check out these great tips from Reader's Digest below:

1. For cleaner counters, place all ingredients on an empty baking sheet prior to prepping them. The baking sheet will catch spills, plus you won't waste searching for every item as you cook. 
2. To avoid a greasy olive oil bottle, wrap a folded paper towel around its neck and secure with a rubber band to absorb any drips. 
3. If you break a glass while cooking, use a piece of white bread to pick up the pieces. Even tiny slivers will cling to it. Clever, huh?
4. To protect a a special recipe from getting ruined by splatters and stains, place it under a clean glass pot lid.You can still read it while shielding it!
5. While you cook, toss scraps into a large bowl, keeping the mess in one place. Line the bowl with a plastic bag to make cleanup even easier.
6. Keep your thumbs squeaky-clean by using a wine cork to make an indent in thumbprint cookies instead of your thumb!
