Tip of the week...

I'm not really a single-purpose gadget person, so since I rarely make a recipe where it is vital to sift flour, I don't own a sifter.  

I keep my all-purpose flour in a two gallon glass jar on my counter top.  When I need to sift flour for a recipe, I take my whisk, and whisk the flour in the canister really well all the way to the bottom.  Then I have nicely 'sifted' flour ready to measure out for whatever is on the menu.
