No more twisting and pegs to seal open bags!
This is a great idea using your recycled bottles. Simply cut the top off the bottles, take the lid off and thread the bag through the top. Then fold the bag over and secure the lid. Great for frozen veggies, rice, sugar and much more!

A new way to do Dessert!
Turn your muffin pan upside down and bake cookie-dough over the top. You now have cookie bowls. Fill them with fruit, custard, iceream for a delicious dessert.

Place mince meat in a large ziploc bag and flatten out evenly. Separate in to portions using a chopstick or skewer and then freeze. When it’s time to defrost, you can simply break off the amount you need and put the rest back in the freezer.
