Ferreting in the back of an upper shelf, I found my old Tupperware
salt and pepper shakers from my boating days (nonbreakable, airtight
etc). Hmm.....what to do. "Goodwill? Wait, kid. " I washed and set
em aside, knowing ideas would spring forth eventually.

The other day, I wanted to sprinkle the smallest dash of sugar on the
muffins before baking. Last night, wanted to do the same with
paprika on my oven fries (helps me spot the ones still to be
turned..) Yay- new uses.
I just need to label em so I don't get paprika on muffins by
accident.

But aren't they already labeled? Just put the sugar in the salt
shaker and the paprika in the pepper shaker.
I'm assuming one is marked S and the other P?

Mine are labeled 'salt' and 'pepper'. We make pizza pretty often, and I use
one of them to sprinkle just the right amount of olive oil on top before it
goes in the oven. I keep it by the stove, so anything that needs just a
sprinkle of OO gets the right amount.

I thought about that, but the lettering has long since left
visibility. These things have to be 25 years old at least. Plus, my
trusty Sharpie fat point can make its mark.

Not a bad idea. I make do with a cruet from which I can shake out the
drops of OO I need for oiling pans etc.
..
By the by, I don't put OO on my pizza crust. I slather it with tomato
sauce for the first 8 minute stage of baking. Then I remove, add rest
of toppings, and pop back into oven for another 10 minutes or so.

What's wrong with paprika on muffins? Not a muffin fan in any case, but
we have made savoury muffins.

What's wrong with paprika on muffins?

Or sugar on oven fries?

I HAVE sprinkled black pepper on oatmeal, when I meant to grab the
cinnamon. I have those in identical clear shakers on back of the
stove and can only go by color. On a particularly foggy-minded
morning, I've grabbed the wrong one.

Clue: Paprika is red; granulated sugar is usually white. HTH.

I like your idea better‹I could use a pint jar and wouldn't have to mess
with filling it up as often. Thank you!!

I hate plastic for honey. My house is colder than what honey likes so
it crystallizes and plastic doesn't do well with sweet stuff inside
when I microwave it.

I have something that I guess is for flour then, I was told it was
meant for powdered sugar. It's just as easy to sprinkle flour on the
surface though.

I keep honey in a glass jar. I've got plenty of glass jars around, so if I
buy honey in a plastic container I can just dispense it into a glass jar
when I get it home.

Do you have a trick to keep it from crystallizing?

I buy bulk honey in gallon glass jugs (with the snap down lids). I bet if you look around, you can find bulk honey for cheap. It's $4/lb where I live if you buy three or more pounds.

It's a six sided glass jar mustard came in. I kept it cuz the green
top goes with my day-core. Plus, when I need a T or two of flour, I
can dip into it instead of haulng out the big 5 lb. container.
