I always keep a roll of waxed paper on hand. I use it for rolling pie
crust, and a neat trick a though of for whipping cream without the spatter.
I poke the beaters through a double layer of waxed paper that's large
enough to more than cover the bowl, then attach the beaters. The waxed
paper catches all the spatters. I also use it to separate hamburgers
before freezing. Lots of uses for it, actually.
