Default Got my new pressure cooker. Now I have a new question.

Last week some of you reccommended brands of pressure cookers. I was no
longer able to get parts for my old one. I bought the 6 qt Fagor rapid.
I really like it so thanks to all.

New question: Is there a way to eliminate the smell of spices in those
empty plastic McCormick jars. I would like to share some of my new
spices that I buy and use very seldom with neighbors who live on fixed
incomes. Anne

Buy a couple at your local Linens N Things or Bed Bath & Beyond. They only
cost about $2, if that.

This makes me think they are retired. If so offer them spices but use some
of their empty pill bottles, well washed of course. You could print up a
fancy label.

I will try both baking soda and clorox. I have washed them in hot water
and left them open to air for weeks. It didnt work at all.

Yes, these women are senior citizens and are quite nice people. Bob,
you wonder why they are broke. Its the cost of prescription drugs that
takes a large chunk of their income also the ones I want to help are
widows living on half the income they had when their husbands were
alive. I am fortunate, my husband is alive and we have good prescription
coverage.

Using their empty prescription containers is a great idea. Thanks again
to all. Anne

Because their expenses often are not.

What's really sad is how many working people are on fixed incomes
these days. Big whoop, get a little raise and the cost of your
benefits or taxes goes up.

I would hope, though, that people understand, you can't just count
on social security or pensions anymore. Sock away as much as you
can of your own money. SS was never meant to support you. It's a
lifeline.

I use the little canning jars. Pretty cheap for what nice jars, with
uniform and replaceable lids. Always buy Penzey's bulk and after I load
up MY jar, I give away the extra.

Why bother; buy new jars, and recycle the old ones yourself for the same
kind of spice they once held or else take or give them along with glass,
etc. to your local recycler. You'll never perfectly purge the odor from the
plastic, which will in time give the new spices an off taste.
