It seems I don't have the coordination to hold the bag open and upright without letting the contents spill out while putting more contents in. Does anyone?
But I found a solution! And it was so simple, I almost smacked myself upside the head and said "Duh!"
Place the Ziploc bag (quart size) into a wide-mouthed glass jar with the top of the bag hanging over the edges. Screw the metal ring over the bag and start filling! How easy is that?
The wide-mouthed jar makes it so easy to ladle, scoop or pour right into the bag. And the ring keeps the bag open without me having to hold on to it! Above is a picture of funnel cake batter I put into a Ziploc so I could squeeze it out into a frying pan. It was so messy trying to get it in the bag until I did it this way. Now there's no mess!For more helpful hints, head over to We are THAT Family's Works for Me Wednesday.
That's a great idea. I'll usually try and find something in the kitchen that's a similar size to hold the bag, but this way it won't sink in as it fills and you're not getting it on the 'threads' of the ziploc.
