No More Gelatin Spills

When making gelatin, place the mold in the refrigerator before pouring in the last cup of liquid or fruit. This prevents the spills that often occur when transferring a full mold to the refrigerator. (This trick also works with ice cube trays.) —Shirley R., Fort Collins, Colorado
