Dear Heloise: I thought you should know that I just bought a new range with a convection oven (an LG), and the manual specifically cautions not to put foil in the bottom for spills, as it will interfere with the heating and damage the surface. Thank you for all your great advice! -- Dick Campbell, Hewitt, Texas
Dick, I'm happy to help! Readers, make sure to check the manual that comes with your appliance and follow the recommendations before using it. -- Heloise
PAPER CLIP BOOKMARK
Dear Heloise: I use a paper clip to mark my place while reading. It never falls off or out, and it doesn't damage the book. — B.B., via email
HOLIDAY PHOTO CARDS
Dear Heloise: When the holiday season is over and it's time to pack up, I'm always in a quandary about what to do with my Christmas photo cards. This year, I decided to save them to my digital frame. I get to enjoy them all year, and there's no guilt about throwing them away! -- Kay Pressley, Baton Rouge, Louisiana
