i often use them to mix paints. when we had pet rats we would use them as food dishes to give them fresh things like kale and veggies etc.
I use them for watercolour painting.
Perfect for storing a 3.5 of your favourite flower😁
Mis en place! Preparing all ingredients before I start cooking in little bowls arranged in the order I will be using them so I feel like a TV chef when the cooking actually starts.
Once we used one to make my toddler niece her own mini pie portion.
ashtray, home made dips/sauces
Catching and relocating spiders from inside my house into my garden.
Keep them in a cupboard for a couple of years then put them in the recycling.
Mixing things e.g. epoxy. I left some keys that had gotten rusty in some vinegar in one the other week also.
If I ever need to open anything with screws, I use them to hold the screws.
I have one in the living room I tend to throw change in when I get it, another near the kettle for tea bags so they can dry out before they go in the bin, another couple in the cupboard for putting dips in, one on the garden table for when my smoker friend comes over and a couple in the garage with screws in them.
My ex would keep them for reasons, I would find them in the cupboard 6 months later and then take them to the bottle bank
BTW the caps from the Pringles cans fit perfectly over these
Tea light holder.
Small snacks like peanuts.
They make good water bowls for my pet snakes
Me and my partner use them for dipping pots, good for mixing ketchup and mayo in.
Little glass jars make perfect candle containers
Tea light holder.
Small snack holder like nuts etc.
Dip pot.
Baked bean ramekin (I’m one of those that doesn’t like them let loose on a full english).
Ashtray. I’m classy.
I press my halved lemon or lime, cut face down, into the pot. Stops it from drying out. And serving home made chicken liver paté.
If I have a recipe that calls for multiple spices to go in at the same time I decant them into the gu pot in advance.
They’re also just the thing for homemade sauces. Mayo + Garlic Granules, or Tommy K + Hot Sauce to make a kebab style chilli sauce.
Putting the used tea bags in to dry them out before they go in the bin.

I mainly stack them in a cupboard until they fall out and smash giving me a spicy task to complete
Decanting eggs into before frying
Butter, butter is to hard from the fridge so I put a bit in the ramekin and microwave for 10 seconds. That’s it, I don’t know why I’ve kept so many.
1) used tea bag holder
2) move them around the kitchen for 8 months and then consider throwing them out, have second thoughts. Maybe this Christmas they will have a use.
We buy a particular type of pancetta that gives of a really good clear fat which we then save for cooking other stuff. I’ve a full one in the fridge 🙂
I keep a couple in the cupboard for food prep.
Spices, sliced chillies, garlic etc.
Then I just throw them into whatever I’m cooking at the right time and throw the glass into the sink.
Tell myself I’ll make some little desserts to go in them, do it occasionally, but generally just chuck a load of them in the recycling bin.
Gu have downsized a few times and the current design glass ramekin doesn’t stack well – it wants the stack to fall over, prompting them getting chucked.
They make cute little growing pots for cress 🙂
Water pot for miniature painting.
Basing materials pots for miniature painting
Spare bits pots for miniature painting.
Miniature painting.minature painting.
Feeding hedgehogs
Key holder at door
Loose change holder, if you have multiple then a quick sorting too.
Temporary Teabag dish
Store in cupboard and throw out in 3 years
Measuring out rice portions
I use them to make my own iddy biddy cheesecakes. I usually go for one of those no bake ones and just pour the mix into each pot.
Once I used them to make “deconstructed” Jaffa cakes; I can’t find the recipe anymore but you basically have a circle of sponge cake, then a layer of orange jelly, except rather than being a small circle in the middle it’s its own discrete layer that covers the cake entirely and is a bit thicker than what you’d get on a normal Jaffa cake, and then a layer of dark chocolate on top.
They were fucking shit.
I sometimes buy all the bits to make a little grazing board for my boyfriend and I for movie night / dinner. These little pots are fabulous for putting aesthetically pleasing portions of things like pate, pickles, those little goats cheese stuffed peppers, the little chilli rice crackers…. Anything that will make the crackers soggy, or that I want to do a little pile of
