Most of us know about the tip of using oil before using honey. What if you don’t have cooking spray and your recipe calls for honey but no oil?
I take my one cup Pyrex measuring cup and put my measuring spoon or cup over it. I pour the oil into the measuring instrument then dump the oil back into the measuring cup. Make sure you use a cup with a spout. I can then pour the unused oil back into the original container-this way you still get the honey out of whatever you’re using and you are not wasting oil. I have never had oil spill on the counter when I’ve done this-just pour the oil back into the container carefully.

I’ve never heard of using oil before honey, but it totally makes sense!

Abrianna, I haven’t heard of this tip. Can you elaborate (oooh, with pictures?)?

I hadn’t heard of using oil before honey either. Great idea!

Zeynepankara,
I hadn’t thought of that but you could butter the ustensil before putting honey in it. That’s a good alternative.

Amy,
I am not in the digital age (gasp-horrors I know!) so I can not post pictures. I would be willing to do another post on it for you-let me know what you need more detail on.
