This week, try these creative tricks, from handmade cake pans to cleaning your grill.

Cleaning Aid: The blade can be a handy cleaning aid when polishing cutlery.

But more importantly, it's a great way to clean your oven racks.

Ball up a piece of aluminum foil and rub to remove grease or food particles.

It also works on a grill and is a great way to remove stubborn food debris.

DECORATION TOOL: If you have extra foil, keep it handy next time you paint.

Use aluminum foil to shape sensitive areas like doorknobs or handles to protect them from unwanted spills.

Picnic Help: As the weather warms up, you might be thinking of a family picnic.

Line your picnic basket with aluminum foil to keep drinks, salads and sandwiches cold.

Plant protection: If you plan on planting seeds on your windowsill, keep them tight and protected by wrapping a layer of aluminum foil around the pot when it cools at night.

DINNER WINNER - Make family dinner more fun and save more on washing dishes.

Forget plates and cutlery by covering the entire table with aluminum foil and serving food directly on it.

This works great for "hard meals" like burrito nights - stack the food and let everyone assemble their own burrito at the table.

Then simply roll up the foil and then stow it away.

COOK SAVER: Baking a birthday cake soon?

Use a few layers of aluminum foil and shape to create your own cake pan.

This works especially well with difficult shaped cakes.

And you don't have to buy a piping bag either.

Create your own by folding aluminum foil into a triangular tube and cutting off the top tip.
