I thought of this tip because I just noticed I ruined (well, stained, and being as anal as I am, stained is just as good as ruined) one of my favorite plastic containers...

You know how plastic containers get stained when you store/freeze a tomato based product (pizza sauce, tomato sauce, etc.)??

Well, just spritz it with a little bit of Pam before you pour in the sauce. Voila - NO stains when you finally remove the sauce.

That is my Helpful Tip of the Day.
(I was always pretty good at Trivial Pursuit because my brain is full of worthless information...)

That issue has plagued humanity since forever....I just did the same thing to a brand new container..so will try the Pam next time...Thanks

That is a great idea! (I also throw out stained plastic bowls)

How long did it take you to figure this out?

(I knew about it, but always forget to do it! )

Oh, but did you share? No-oooooooo. Because you're mean and stingy.

Because it's one of those "duh" things, we all know Pam keeps things from sticking!

Have you tried using Pam to keep your sweaty little legs from sticking to the van seats?
Really, you ought to try it, go now and do it!

That's a great idea...if it works...and if I remember to do it. Thanks!

That's one of those things on those emails of helpful tips - that I read and then think of AFTER I put sauce in the container. Never think of it before. Well, maybe once or twice. Maybe talking about it here... nah, next time, I'll think of it after I remove the stuff and the container is stained. Oh well... lol ... it does help that I don't use the containers much anymore - using quart baggies and tossing them when I remove the product. No stains.

Really wouldn't wanna do that - might prevent my sweaty little foot from planting firmly on your sweaty little arse...

Thank you, thank you very much!

Dear Mitch (aka Heloise of the South)... Thank you for the tip...it's a good one which is surprising coming from you!

(however, I have to admit, it's a good idea no matter who though it up...I will try to remember...now that's the hard part for me!

Thanks for the good tip.
