If you'd rather buy parchment paper muffin pan liners, here they are amzn.to/3UUBlfX (a little less rustic) AD
@cleanfreakgermaphobe Like the potato peeling hack..can see where that would save a ton of time as long as you get it on the stove in time. Curious how long you had to boil whole potatoes? Mine were always cut. If you get an early start, I can see where that would be very helpful.
I've done the parchment paper cupcake liner hack for a few years, great for cheddar Bay biscuits, etc.fits perfectly, easy to remove, 👍
At least it would be pretty clean.
How do you save time peeling the potatoes if you first have to cut them, then boil them then soak them in ice water? You could have peeled ten times as many potatoes in that time.
Thank you . I’ve not purchased these but I will.
I wouldn't eat a potato that's been through the dish washer anyway. The dish washing liquid or powder was not meant to be consumed and it's bound to penitrate the potato during the process.
That is very true.
💯% my immediate thought.
That's why I picked a hack that has you wrap it in foil first. The potato wasn't wet or damp and I think it protects it. Just like when you put a potato in the campfire...

@@CleanFreakGermaphobe it's faster to microwave cut in half potato on a plate with plastic wrap and a small amount of water for 10 minutes. You can even season it before microwaving it and it comes out awesome...
I really like how you just immediately started the video without any intro, music or excess talk. Thank you
i do as well...all the extra is too much....get to the point plzzz...n u do thank you!!!
Especially no "How's it goin' guys" !
Professional baker here: I never grease the sides of a cake pan. Why? As my instructor said in culinary school, “you can’t climb a greasy pole.” Just use paper in the bottom and run a knife around the edge.
Or line just the bottom of your cake pan with waxed paper cut to size. Old farmers hack. When cake is done and still hot, remove paper.
@@maryhartwig6816 yes. By “paper” I meant parchment paper. Sorry about that. Wax will do in a pinch though. .
@@maryhartwig6816 But chunks can fall off when 'still hot'. Better to let cake cool a bit first.
Martha Stewart taught us years ago that wadding your parchment paper will easily get it to fit into any shaped container. Works great.
Cupcake liners are way cheaper than using parchment paper. Cupcake liners are called that for a reason, they work!
My cousin from Germany was here visiting and she showed me that if you wet the parchment paper it will fold nicer into a mold Worked beautifully!
I've never cooked a potato in a dishwasher, but (having in my youth been both a mechanic and a truck driver) have cooked many things on an engine manifold. Just make SURE you keep your engine WELL degreased and the foil VERY TIGHT so you don't poison yourself! On a funny note, I remember a frightened woman at a gas station asking me why my Buick was whistling and steam coming from one corner of the hood. She didn't believe me when I told her "Because my tea is ready."
If you want a hot lunch in Alaska that's about the only way to get it.
@@id10t98 I miss the old school air cleaners that were on carburetors. ...flip it upside down, cover with foil...cooked up a frozen pizza great!😃
@@stevedallas4942 I've had many a can of soup off an exhaust manifold!
I have an easier faster hack for lining anything with parchment paper. Crumble the sheet into a ball. Crunch crunch. Unroll it, and it will lay flat. I’ve used this method in loaf pans and on cookie sheets.
"Peeling potatoes takes too long", goes on an even longer prep time hack..lol
i actually like the paper towel idea
I make my potatoes with skin. It’s where the vitamins lay. But I don’t use a baking potato for boiled potatoes.
You want to leave some of the parchment in the loaf pan longer to use as handles. It makes it easier to remove the loaf from the pan :)
Great idea, I’ll try it next time!
That's great idea!!! 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Great tips thank you!
Shetkarich navra hava 29jan.
Such clever ideas ❤😂
One other hack I use -- when you scrape things off your cutting board, use the back of your knife so you aren't compromising the sharpness of the blade when you most need it.
Don’t cut those sides off the parchment paper. They make great handles to remove the product from the pan.
we buy the brawny paper towels that are cut multiple times, they're freaking great, we legit use about 1/3 as many paper towels - they're cut longwise and long ways so you end up with square sheets
I can't imagine anyone eating a spud that was "cooked" in a dishwasher!
Me either!
Not with the chemicals.
🤮🤮🤮
unless you crash landed into the mountains on a jet and there was nothing too eat,,??? her her hee he ...ha ha
@@dancingtrout6719 Hilarious! Maybe ...
If you want parchment paper to stay in any shaped tin, just crumple it up into a ball then smooth it out flat, and it will line any shaped tin - just press it into the side.
Also, the potato thing isn't a bad idea, but a vegetable peeler is much easier and ultimately less work.
I can't remember the last time I peeled potatoes. I just wash them and use them skins and all, even for mashed potatoes, potato salad...
However......... If I did want to peel them I would use my Johnny Apple Peeler and think it might do the job depending on the size and shape of the potatoes.
Crumpling the paper works great and doesn't leave leaky corners like the cut out method shown.
That was always my problem wit
Yes, I crumple the parchment paper. A few drops of water helps hold it in place
@im1who84u Me too. That was lot of water used just to get the peel off.
If you wet your parchment completely, it will form into any pan easily. Squeeze out excess water first. Works every time
You don't cut four squares out of the corners of your paper. You cut a diagonal line on each corner up to the length of the square (height of pan) and then those pieces crisscross over each other in your pan so that nothing touches the pan.
Much easier to clean and no grease added to the food. I’d also add, better for the environment than an aerosol spray.
I will use that cupcake liner hack. I saw a recipe recently that needed a tall cupcake liner. I was taken aback when I saw the price of the ones used in the recipe. This will work perfectly.
The ice potato peel is genius.
Honestly I never peel potatoes and mash boil and soup them with skins. But it was a genius hack.
In the late 80s I heard about dishwasher cooking. Someone successfully did a fish. An egg will soft boil. The food was sealed in a container while the dishwasher ran so there was no chance of contamination. I agree it’s a fail and my husband and I still laugh about the effort.
Crumble your parchment then un crunch to position it in tin.
Not sure if this was mentioned already, but an even quicker and foolproof way to line and baking pan is to scrunch your parchment paper up and then line the tin. Some people dampen it, but I never need to. It makes it so easy to shape it into the corners and have it lie flat. The overhang at the top sits better and it's easier to pour your batter without the paper folding in and getting messed up.
The look on my husband's face when I ripped off a length of parchment paper and then immediately scrunched up in a ball 🤣
@@fineweaver lol, did he run because he thought you were going after him with the ball?
@@fineweaver Jim
Too much time consuming for the parchment muffin cupcake tin.
@@parislynn1506 I agree 👍
If you will crumble the parchment paper up in a ball a couple of times.. you can then mold it to fit lots of containers of different sizes. THANKS FOR INFO.
I use a ceramic muffin pan, sprayed with Pam, to bake muffins, mini meatloaves, or breakfast cups. Everything comes out perfectly browned. No paper for me.
I just got a ceramic baking set and I LOVE it!
i use PAM too not paper! 👍
Cooking potatoe in dish washer. I wouldn’t even try
The ice bath method for the potatoes can also be used to remove the shell from boiled eggs.
Ya, but you can't cut a circle in it first ;-D
Doesn't work for me
Pro tip for parchment paper that will not conform to containers: cut to needed size then ball it up, 'crinkling' it thoroughly. Now it will sit where you put it.
Peeling potatoes takes forever? My Dad regularly used to have me peel potatoes and begin the cooking process before he got home from work. I was 10-years old and I never thought of it as a difficult, or laborious, process. For reference, we needed enough potatoes for my Dad, my four brothers, and me.
I haven't peeled a potato since I was in my late teens, since I learned about the nutrients that are in potato skin. I'm now in my early 60s.
Interesting video. Potato hack in dishwasher, NOPE. Muffin tin parchment as a backup option, yes.
Wow I wish knew the paper towel hack. When 2 yrs ago during the toilet paper shortage
To save on paper towels I use reusable napkins. I keep a basket full of them near my paper towels. You can make them yourself. But I have found them on 90% holiday clearance. My laundry room is right off my kitchen so I just throw them as used in the washer. I have cut my paper towel usage down to maybe 1 roll per month.
I like the cutting of the paper towel roll, especially for a single person or someone who lives in a tiny place where counter area is limited. It could probably be hung with a toilet paper roll holder that holds a single roll and is mounted. The kind with an open end. 👍🏼
Although you might want to mount under the sink so no one wonders why you have toilet paper in your kitchen.
@ Jude Kay The open ended holders have a fairly subtle style. If the material matches the faucet or better yet, the cabinet hardware, it should look kitchen- like enough. As long as it's mounted under the cabinet next to the sink and people are told that the paper towels are a half roll, it should be fine. Other people can adapt. 👍🧻
@@22lyric 😂🧻💕
They make paper towels that are perforated to be torn into quarter sheets so you can achieve the same result without having to cut the roll.
I buy the select-a-size paper towels, tear off the smallest size, and from there just tear off only as much as I need.
That works great and saves even more paper.
The paper towel hack I have been doing now 4 many months n we save money buying paper towels.
Great hack.🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒
Definitely NOT the dishwasher potato.
I scrunch the parchment paper and it is then flexible and fits all shapes easily. 😊
I never peel potatoes. Most of the nutrition and fiber is in the skin.
It also has the highest concentration of solanine, the poison that is naturally in potato peels and green potatoes.
No potato in the dishwasher geee. Yes on the muffin hack it's great for bread.
I learned to boil the potatoes and peel the skin off from my grandmother. I use it primarily to make potato salad but I’m sure it would would work for mashed potato’s, too. I also use strips instead of a sheet of parchment paper in my loaf pans. All I’m really trying to do is remove the loaf easily from the pan and lining the pan with two wide parchment strips (each placed crosswise at each end) does the trick. I do like your hack of molding the squares of parchment on a glass and placing in the muffin tins. I’m going to give it a try the next time I make muffins or rolls. Thanks for the tips!
Love the paper towel hack. I always split the sheets in half anyway, but this hack is better. I'll try the ricing hack for potatoes too.
I do with Clorox wipes. 1/2 I put into a ziplock bag and keep it in my car. And the other half goes into a glass jar right next to my bathroom sink. I give my sink and toilet a touch of every night.
I've read that vitamins are found in the peels of potatoes, so I no longer peel them. Wendy's doesn't peel its fries anymore either. And they taste fine.
The peels are also where you find the solanine, the poison that is naturally in potato peels and green potatoes.
I just use water to hold my parchment paper in the pan - costs nothing and it’s easy with just water
Yes next time we’ll use water only
If you are using parchment paper to line a cookie sheet, meatloaf pan, or anything just crunch up the paper in a ball and wet it with cold water under the kitchen sink. Then roll it out onto pan. Works great. You can mold it then. Also ysed for cooking meat in oven.
I’m liking the cupcake liner!
Very informative ! Enjoyed all your tips. Thank you
I’ve been doing the parchment paper muffin tin liner hack and I love it! Yes, you can buy the parchment paper muffin cups, but it’s a pricier way to go.
I’m shocked that you’ve never made or eaten fried jacket potatoes! You boil the potatoes about 20 mins or until done and then drain and place in the fridge for a day. Next peel if you wish or leave the peel and thickly slice and fry in bacon or ham fat or olive oil, whatever oil you like. Best fried potatoes ever! I love a cooked fried potatoes over a raw fried potatoes any day. But you can’t slice cooked potatoes too thin or have a mushy mess in your skillet.
If you want to save money on paper towels, purchase a set of 6 wash cloths, and keep a clean one at the kitchen sink. We begin each day with a fresh cloth and put the soiled one in the laundry. We've found that about half of our paper towel use was simply for drying clean things. Use the cloth for that instead. We reserve paper towel usage for wiping up and discarding messes.
Since you seem to like potatoes, I got the best hack for you. Yep! Frozen potatoes, by Ore-Ida called Home Style, steam and mash. Throw them in microwave for 10 minutes. You can mash them or not. They come cubed. Use them in potato salad, mash them, use in casseroles, very easy and much better than any of the hacks I saw in your video.
That probably wouldn't work for someone who enjoys cooking from scratch. But it's handy in a pinch I guess.
Not practical for whole families due to cost & time shopping for next lot.
1:15 Scrunch the paper under warm water for easier forming and a "crinkle" look! But the clean lines might be more appealing, if less cooperative.
the potato dishwasher thing works just like rinsing your lettuce in the toilet.
Just put them in the cistern instead - more hygienic and easily dispensed.
Remember how big the paper towels USED to be? Can't believe they weren't changed a long time ago. Awhile back my husband would tear several paper towels in half (the new smaller ones) I realized I could get away with the small squares most of the time. So I cut up a bunch with a scissors. But cutting the whole roll is a GREAT idea! Thank you!
Why not use toilet paper instead? Already the right size. 😂
I do things like your husband sometimes or if the towel just had some water on it from me washing my hands I'd leave the wet paper towel on the counter and re-use it...sometimes more than once.
With the loaf pan, u can just use water. I use water when baking cookies on a baking sheet and parchment paper. Love the muffin hack.
Thank you for that tip! I like the idea of using water instead of cooking spray.
That’s brilliant. I was thinking the oil defeated my use of parchment paper in the first place so water will be fantastic.
In my mind adding spray before a liner means I now have to wash a dish I wouldn’t have had to scrub by using a liner on it.
Thank you.
I love love love using parchment paper in baking. Clean up is a breeze. I like the water idea; oiling the pan defeats the purpose of the parchment. I slowly add the batter and spread it around to flatten the paper; I’m definitely going to try water!
I do like half paper towel idea.
Me too!
I don't get what the big deal is about peeling potatoes. I make mash potatoes all the time in the winter and I do five pound bags when I do. It takes about 15 mins.
You can just wet the parchment paper under a faucet to line the baking dish with sides.
Thanks there was a few great hacks I can use everyday. Just loved them.
💕
Interesting tips but it's faster to just peel potato skin... and just as fast to mash 'em using a hand blender. Been doing this for ages!
For me personally, it is just easier to peel the potatoes.
Lol for me it’s easier to NOT peel them. I like the skin on! 😆😆
I boil my potatoes like that when I make potato salad.. For everything else, I peel them.
5:21 I like the folding cutting board, but just wondering how long it will last before it fails at the bend points.
So far it’s been several months and no problems. I still love it. Especially for cutting juicy things.
Using parchment paper in baking pans- I lightly very very lightly wet it first- flip it over n put it in the pan n it stays.
Never an issue 4 me.
I just bought the foldable cutting board! Glad it's available in India , and that too for a very reasonable price! Thank you! Subscribed!
I would definitely do the parchment paper in both loaf pan and muffin tins and will try the hack about scoring the potatoes in the middle and boiling/water bath to remove the skin. Thanks for posting.
Many of us enjoy eating potatoes with the skins left on - more flavour & nutrition! ☘️
For the parchment paper in the loaf pan why not use another similar pan to press the paper into the form of the pan?
Love the muffin tin anesthetics and ease of hack
Totally love the potatoes peeling hack. Loved it. Ty.
Love cupcake liners.. ty
Definitely the muffin hack that’s pretty brilliant. Wish I had thought of it
My mom has ALWAYS peeled potatoes this way!!! And I love the paper towel hack!
You don’t have to put the potatoes in an ice bath, just running them under cold water works. I’ve been doing it for years, like decades.
If you wet the parchment paper it is more workable
I love the potato peeling hack but yeah I can imagine it taking a lOT longer, I can make mashed potatoes in less than 30 min, boiling the water as I peel before chopping them into cubes, so probably will give it a shot but that's a long wait to boil whole potatoes
I love the bag sealing with water bottle. I use too much Bounty, so I would also do the paper towels hack as well as the pound cake pan with parchment paper.
If you have 2 bread or cake pans that nest in one another then place paper over one then nest the other in it slowly. You may do the paper as a square or turn slightly to a diamond to see which works best.
Dollar store sells patty paper which are parchment squares
Thanks for the tip! I’ll look for them.
Thank you for sharing :-) I like the paper towel idea.
As for conforming parchment paper to baking pans, I use metal clips at 4 sides and fold the paper as I go, like a piece of fabric.
Ty I'll be trying your muffin parchment liners. Ty
I bake bread every other week. I saw somewhere to run your parchment paper under the faucet and then shake it out. It forms into my glass bread pans perfectly.
Love the muffin pan hack, with the parchment paper!
Thanks for the tips, I love the boiled potato skin removal hack. I plan to eat the potato skins after by making them fried and crispy
@laura320 me too ✋ pls explain how we're going to make this happen? I'm so excited I just checked and I have some potatoes just sitting there waiting, so after the potatoes are boiled how are going to fried them 😋 Ya'll beautiful people just know so much & share such amazing ideas. I'm new to this cooking thing & I'm loving it. I love reading the comments tks for sharing.
I've been cutting my paper towel rolls in half for 20 years; who cares if it looks like a toilet roll (from a distance). People who see this at my house have taken to doing it as well and they tell me all the time, they SAVE on paper towel usage. Great hack vid!!
I’ve been using the parchment paper in my muffin tins for awhile now and FYI. If you bake scrambled eggs in them it doesn’t stick. The egg just slides right out and it’s an easy clean up.
Thanks for that tip!
I use a hand mixer to mash my boiled potatoes. Saves aching shoulders and time.
When food touches hot foil there is a transfer of aluminum to the food. (Aluminum is related to Alzheimer’s disease.) I only use foil on cold food or to “tent” with.
I will try them and see witch ones I like thank you for your ideas enjoy watching them too love new ideas. Have a blessed day.
I definitely like the muffin pan and parchment paper
I actually like the paper towel hack for my craft room but not for the kitchen. I usually take a stack and cut them in half. It never occurred to me to cut the roll in half. Thanks.
Excellent-thank you
Love the Cupcake liner
I found it easier to get parchment paper to stick when the pan is wet, especially on baking sheets.
Your 🍅 are beautiful! Congrats on a nice harvest.
I made two loafs of banana bread this week and do the parchment the way she said not to do it. But I just use the batter to hold down the paper lol it works every time
Here in Texas, we chop well-washed organic potatoes skin and all!...much more nutrition (minerals), fiber and FLAVOR, You'aalll!
Not too crazy about the cutting board. I really like scoring the potato to peel the skin off!!! I like the parchment paper hacks also. I already grease my pan then put the paper in. It's so nice and easy. I'll be saving these ideas. Thank you!!
Like the parchment paper for the cupcake/ muffin pan
The paper towels in half? Yep!!!!!
thnaks!! thanks for the hacks!! you're great hacker with lots of ideas!!
Thank you! 😊
