Another use for these things is for a pot scraper. If you use the
Philmont method of cooking, you will need to scrape the pot. Sure, you
can use a spoon but it takes forever to get everything off the sides of
the pot. We have made pot scrapers from duct tape covered cardboard,
but it seems like these plastic cards would work well and weigh
nothing.
