I was told that if it has the extra white layer inside it's fine. If it's just metal always empty it right away.

My fave cooking timesaver - there are certain spice combinations for chicken, fish etc which I use on a regular basis. Instead of taking each spice out individually each time I mixed a large quantity in advance, put in a big shaker and labelled "chicken" "fish" "spicy fish" etc

cleaning wipes to quickly clean up spills
lamps to turn on at night around the instead of the ceiling light- makes it easier to end the day when the lights have already been dimmed.

Not exactly inexpensive but DRYER (for laundry). IMO worth way more than the 1000₪ it cost. I can't understand how so many Israelis go without.


It's not the appliance, it's the electricity that's so expensive!

silpat cookie sheet liners. Line your baking pans with them when you are making cookies, roll your babka dough out on them, etc....your dough will not stick and it washes clean easily.

My baking history (and my enthusiastic cookie monsters) love these.

Rubber bands for closing opened but unfinished bags, like flour (comes in a plastic bag here), rice, sugar, etc.

Disposable containers for freezing soups and not having the issue that I have no containers because they're all on the freezer.

Chocolate chips for toilet training bribes
