GREASY SOUP

You are making up some soup and just as you are ready to serve it you notice that there is some fat floating on the top of it. You don't want to serve it that way, but skimming it off with a spoon is not working. How are you going to get all that fat off before you finish it and serve it?

Grab a piece of cheesecloth and place a couple of ice cube in the center and tie it off.

Now just drag the cloth over the surface of the soup and the fat will stick to the cheese cloth.

The ice will cool the fat enough to make it solidify a bit and stick to the cheese cloth like magic!

Now just toss the cheese cloth and finish preparing your soup!
