who has a use for the butter pack papers??

The frugal part of my brain tells me that I ought to do as your Mum does & hang onto these for cake tin greasing. But that part of my brain does battle with the part that just can't be doing with old butter wrappers cluttering the place up which says to throw them out. I'm afraid that the throwing out camp normally wins, unless I happen to be making a cake when I'm unwrapping a new butter. My youngest son likes to steal butter wrappers from the bin if I'm not looking. He licks all the butter off them, yukky child. He's only started this habit since I started blocking off the fridge. Before I did that he used to pinch whole blocks of butter from the fridge & bite lumps out of them!!!

That's a good idea, I usually just spray the pan with pam. I just had to laught and share what my mom does. She used to take the papers from the butter and rub them on her cat. She said that it helps reduce fur balls.

My mum used to do this, and my nan. I used to do it for a while but then I stopped and now I just use it straight out of the tub!

Wow, wells that's a first. I've never heard of that one but it might be a good idea.

I can't say I have, but it sounds like a good idea. Just as fast as cooking spray, but much less expensive :). I always find it interesting to see what people from earlier generations, who didn't have as much money, were able to do with what was available.
