Tiny tip - sprinkling spices


This morning I put a whole chicken in the oven to roast.  I wanted to sprinkle some "Poultry Seasoning" on it along with the salt and pepper (I rub it with extra-virgin olive oil first).  It's always a problem, unless you have every single spice and ground herb in it's own shaker...  I finally came up with a solution.  You see, I buy most of my seasonings in bulk, and a few I grow myself.

Here is what I came up with... Behold the magical tea ball!  ;)


This is used for making herbal tea, one cup at a time.  Do you have one?  It is very nice.  Well, if you open it up, it looks like this:


I scooped up a small amount of the spice and then I used it to gently sift the spice onto my chicken.  I put the excess back in the jar easily.  No waste.  No struggling to get it spread around. Voila!
