    throw away strainer funnel

    When cooking ground meat I always have it rather well spiced as well as usually will chop a whole small onion and several various chili peppers added to the mix The result of which always leaves quite a bit of liquid to be drained off. for this I use a mesh strainer and force the liquid out of the meat. After all nobody wants greasy meat in their nachos, do they?
    Here is my solution to making sure all of the liquid is captured in a container without making a mess
    I fold a paper plate into a quarter cut off the tip then unfold it and shape it into a funnel by allowing it to overlap on itself. then staple in place, instant funnel

    I've actually been doing this for years. To me it has always been such a normal routine to how I go about removing the unwanted grease from ground meat I figured that everyone probably did something similar so I only just now thought of sharing it

    I like it — that idea could come in handy for any number of applications.
