We are huge pickle lovers in this house. We especially love dill pickle chips on our hamburgers, but they aren't exactly easy for kids to get out of a jar. My boys would stab and stab in that jar with a fork just to have the pickles slide off as they tried to lift them out.
My solutuion? Use a slotted serving spoon! It drains the juice as you lift them out and you get more pickle chips than with a fork!

Great tip! I love pickles, too!
We are pickle lovers too. We use a small set of tongs to grab our pickles.
Now I'm craving pickles!!!
Oh, I love dill pickles too! When I saw the title of your post, I thought, "What? A tip about pickle chips, as in dill pickle potato chips. As I read on, I saw your family loves dill pickle chips on hamburgers—so does my son. Then when I read that your dill pickle chips come in a jar, I thought "Wow, this girl is totally committed to potato chip freshness!!"
Duh.
Another little difference between American and Canadian, I guess—these would be sliced dill pickles to us. But, no matter, here are some dill pickle tips from my kitchen to yours:
1) My son puts dill or salt and vinegar potato chips in his hamburgers and sandwiches if he can lay his hands on any.
2) I save the crushed dill pickle chips at the bottom of the bag and throww them in breading for chicken strips, schnitzel and fish.
3) I discovered dill pickle relish at the grocery store this summer and have gone through four jars of the stuff—so much easier for burgs and sandwiches than wrestling with the fork/spoon/tongs (tongs that my kids always take away from the kitchen to play Lego with).
4) Jelly Belly has a jalapeno-flavoured bean, and purportedly has a new dill pickle jelly bean in the Harry Potter–inspired Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Bean line. I can't imagine it'll ever get to Canada. I'll pay if a dill fan will send me some!
Great idea : ). Thank you for sharing!
