How to clean a mixing container after mixing ground beef in it

Ever make a ground beef mixture and then get stuck cleaning the fat out of the bowl?
One way is to use a large pot instead of a bowl. (Here you will want to be careful when mixing in salt or other "scratchy" substances if you're using a nonstick pot.)
When you're done mixing and have removed the meat mixture, you can place the pot on low heat just until the solid fat has melted. Remove the pot from the heat and carefully--the pot is hot of course--use several layers of paper towels to remove the fat.
 
Keeping dust off a tv with a regular glass screen

This is for regular old televisions, not ones with fancy screens. You take a used dryer sheet and use it to wipe the screen. Supposedly keeps static down, which is what attracts dust. So far it seems to be working; I've gotten much less dust on the tv screen since doing this.Labels: dust

This doesn't work.
I read about it on the Net and figured I'd give it a try, since it doesn't involve chemicals. But it just didn't do anything. You are to place the ring in a small glass of club soda and gently shake the soda around (presumably to create bubbles).
I'm going to try the jewelry.about.com method next.
