  1. Make a heat pack: Use a clean sock, fill with uncooked rice. Tie the top tightly with string and heat in the microwave to desired temperature.
  2. Clean glass bottles and vases: Place a few grains inside the vessel along with warm soapy water, swirl and shake the contents. The rice acts like a scourer - removing scum.
  3. Prevent rusty tools: Place a few spoonfuls of rice in your tool box, this will absorb any unwanted moisture.
  4. Make the perfect pie crust: No pie weights? No problem. Top the crust with greaseproof paper and add a layer or rice instead.
  5. Clean coffee/spice grinders: Fill the grinder halfway with rice and grind until fine. It will lift any grimy residue and absorb odours.
