TIP OF THE DAY

From reader Jenny:

An easy way to remove candle wax from glass that you’d like to save: Cover an oven-proof dish with tin foil, turn the candle holder upside down on the foil, and stick into an oven set to low heat for a bit. The wax will melt and run onto the foil, and after a quick wash the glass container can be used for anything!

Alternative method: Just stick the container in the freezer for a bit, and the wax should chip right off. This doesn’t work for me every time, though…so it’s good to have both options available.
