I know..paint cans too I guess...but toss them I do...
I have one big can..like a coffee can.... But it was the can Italian San Marzano tomatoes came in. Super-sized.. BJ's - Costco sized. It is lined with a white plastic (??) coating. Probably so the tomatoes don't get tinny tasting while packed. Anyway, that stays on my stove top. I always say I am going to paper it or paint it so it doesn't look like what it is -- a big ugly tin can. It is the BEST repository for stirring spoons covered with sauce ...forks that are greasy.. I had so many spoon holders over the years and none were more than decorations..but that ole can is my buddy. Washes up real well too.
