I know! When I want chocolate covered strawberries I just break a bar into chunks, put it in a coffee cup and use a microwave. I'm sure if I tried to melt chocolate outside I'd get a fair addition of flies in it, which... ick.
@@Rime_in_Retrograde so if you didn’t have a microwave? You were away from home, you had no electricity. You wouldn’t see the use? A lot of people don’t have a microwave. 😒 ironically your comment gave me the ick. Just showed how little you’ve tried to think about what others may not have. I don’t even have the kitchen space for a microwave, can imagine you’ve not got a lot that others have. I’m f they told you to just use it or you’re dirty, would that make sense?
@@kirstybrown1185There’s maybe more than 2 alternatives to the microwave, not including the sun. The bugs, dust, other yucky particles that would get stuck in the chocolate is just a no. 0/10. Unless you melt it still in the packaging but even then it would still just stick to the packaging and be a sticky mess. If you don’t have a microwave just do a water bath. And don’t make excuses about boiling water, unless you live on skidrow
@@kirstybrown1185 if you want chocolate for a drizzle or something, you can leave it in the packaging and melt it with any heat source, even sitting on it and just cut off a corner. Sunlight sounds a little slow, but I am rather Northern European, not very hot over here
I like how the most viewed hack is literally "Use a spiralizer for its intended purpose." I fully anticipate the new tiktoc trend being "Food hack! Use a spatula to flip food!"
I've had that tool, an apple parer/corer/slicer for years. It can do potatoes, onions or anything. Mine is stainless steel and makes easy peasy work of doing the hard work after a day of apple picking. If you make 2 cuts in the spiral, your apple or onion is perfect for cooking.
I love how positive you are and even if you don't like something you stick to professional criticism and don't attack the creators. Makes your videos genuinely pleasant and uplifting to watch 😊
For the Garlic.... Just put the whole bag into the freezer.... And then you can just take out the cloves 1 by 1 or how many you need.... it cuts super easy, and smashes really well...
The egg flip lid one to me mostly seems like a burn waiting to happen. You have essentially three points of danger there - transferring the eggs to lid (which also includes the butter or oil which will be even hotter than the eggs), holding onto/balancing the lid (which, if glass as in the video, can heat up fairly quickly) and the transferal back to the pan but flipped in a very quick motion that can be messed up very easily. Safely cooked eggs reach at least 60C, which is enough to give a burn in seconds, and this is ignoring the oil around it that will be even hotter. I've seen the same hack that have you flip the lid and the pan at the same time (you put the lid over the pan and then flip), so this version is just barely safer but it's still an unnecessary hazard. Just flipping the eggs normally is a singular movement and is a lot more controlled than the lid. For eggs flipping, I just recommend either not flipping at all (it honestly doesn't make that much of a difference if you don't want to risk a yolk breaking) *or* to get a bigger silicone spoon that can easily scoop up the eggs, tilt your pan a little while you are flipping and just figure out the technique with practice and accepting that the first few egg flip attempts will have broken yolks. I prefer not to flip out of partial laziness, I just scoop oil and pour it over the whites to help it cook.
Is my neighborhood the only place that bugs exist???? If I put open chocolate bars outside, every bug and critter nearby would be in it by the time I got back.
@KingWin0114 Ok, but why? Why put it outside in the first place, and why go to the trouble to dirty a glass bowl to cover it while it's 'sunbathing'? It's just plain silly!
The Bell Pepper hack is actually amazing if you change just one thing about it - instead of peeling it back and just cutting at the bottom, cut down along the inner ridges and cut through the bottom all in one long slice. Clears out all the seeds, the white inner bits, and gets you so much more of the pepper so you don’t have that wastage at the end! I only ever have the seed core and the stems left over doing it that way.
The chocolate-coating would be a ton better in a mug or glass cup, and then you pour piping-hot fresh coffee in. So it's a mocha that slowly gets more and more chocolately as you drink. You wouldnt be able to 'crackle' it, but thats silly anyway😂
once when i was traveling i had to stay at a hotel for one night and i got room service breakfast for whatever reason. the scrambled eggs looked EXACTLY like the one in the video. now i know why lol
Funny thing with the ketchup & lettuce hacks - I've been doing those since I was a teen, and I'm nearly 50. As for the pasta toothpick trick, I don't know how well that would work with thin pasta like angel hair or thin spaghetti - I'd worry it would slip out with the water.
It’s called a spiralizer and has been around for at least a decade. It’s not a unitasker - you can spiralizer so many vegetables. I’m sure you’ve heard of Zoodles. A spiral Lizer is how you make noodles from zucchini. And I’ve never heard of coring onion. I really don’t know what’s the purpose of Korean onion will be, but a spiralizer always leaves a core of any vegetable you use it for. You can use it to cook or check it but if you do a lot of it, you could put them in a bag put them in the freezer and use it for a vegetable stock probably.
9:29 little fun fact! This isn’t really a tiktok food hack, this was a viral coffee that became popular due to a cafe selling it in Dubai! Since it’s not available to many people, they’ve started making it themselves! No hate to you or the creator just thought I would let you know:))
the problem is that its very easy to slip and end up with all your pasta in the sink. so its less control+strength needed to just let the lid rest against the toothpick. i just have a pot that has a perforated lid.
Yes! I’ve been draining my pasta using the lid ever since I started cooking and have never had an issue or needed a toothpick. Most of these ‘hacks’ are completely useless and are just for viewing traffic.
@@gwennorthcutt421 exactly this. Have I just tilted the lid every time for years? yes. Would the toothpick make it easier to feel more in control ? yes. Will I bother using this hack... nah. But it's still a hack that would make it even easier so it fits the brief 🤷♀
@@gwennorthcutt421 easy to slip? ur holding it in place tho, for years me n my mom have been doing it that way and ive never seen the lid slip like that
The crackly chocolate-- That's exactly the mix you pour onto ice cream & it will solidify immediately. It's not a hack. It's been around for so long. It's called the chocolate shell. Have to use coconut oil as it solidifies when cold.
Oh, I wrap usual mochi dough into rice paper. This way the dough doesn't stick everywhere even without using starch coat, and fruit fillings don't fall out
I do the garlic hack with tomato paste and even raw minced meat prepared to become meatballs when I don't want to bother forming them. Little meat squares are too cute :)
There's a couple of these "hacks" I remember when I was a kid (I'm 72). The ketchup wind-up, and I had forgotten the cabbage one. I will have to do that since I have a head.
I had no idea people got the core out of lettuce any other way. I've done it the whack on the counter way my whole life, it's the way my mom taught me and the way her parents taught her. All you have to do to make it last is put it in the fridge in a ziplock bag or a sealed container with a damp paper towel at the bottom of the bag and place the lettuce head in with the core-hole facing down and it will last weeks, I've had it last easily 1-2 months with only a few parts turning or looking soggy.
The first egg hack was good, but done wrong. You had to flip the pan over the lid after sliding the eggs on the lid. And slowly turn the pan and lid together
She followed a recipe, you’re telling her she did something wrong and you didn’t understand that she copied steps. The original video did it wrong. Is that what you mean?
The lettuce hack has been done in some manner at least since the 1960s. We would slam the core onto the edge of the counter [squared off edges, not rounded] and the core would come right out
I feel like a lot of people griping about the hacks complain about everything. Some people are just allergic to positive feelings, they don't want to be pleased by anything.
I have one of those spiraliser things. I got it during the spiral food craze a few years back. I used it for everything for about a week. Washing it was a nightmare. It’s been in the box in storage since. Glad to see they’re back again! Don’t think I ever tried an onion though. 😂
9:12 I actually tried the Cracking Latte, my local coffee shop sells it, tho I didn't know it was viral until the barista said it was and checked for myself. Presentation/execution wise 9/10, taste wise 7/10.
1’m 40 years old and my best friend and I used to do the ketchup swing thing when we were teenagers. Her mom would always get mad thinking we were going to make a mess, but we thought it was so funny. We had a little sound we made while we did it too.
Instead of flipping the eggs with a lid, you could just cover the pan with the lid, add a splash of water and let it steam the top part of the egg. Perfectly cooked egg whites, and jammy yolks are almost guaranteed that way (and less likely to break)
Hiya😃 I just wanted to ask you to try this recipe :👇 -Bring the mango, and add honey, and oats for the topping if you know it. -get any bowl I requested small get vanilla ice cream pour it in the small bowl add classic milk and oat as a topping
@@thealmightyollar i live with my bf but at home my family always used to keep it like that or laying on the side, but i get it can be hard with others!
It's exactly the opposite Milk chocolate has waaaaaaay less fat, they use milk powder without fat, it has more sugar and less fat Cocoa has a huge amount of fat, sugar has nonfat at all Sugar melts easy, fat not so much
As an alternative, you could use mint tea or mint hot chocolate for a nice flavor for the crack cup and that way, you can crack it immediately and still get a decent crack, as well as getting the flavor of the chocolate in the drink.
I was shown the lettuce on when I was around 17. She just pushed into hard onto the counter and sure enough, you can just pop it out. Then run water through the hole, cleans each leaf. Then pull it apart 🥰
Also, if you put your onion in your freezer for 5 minutes or fridge for 30 minutes before cutting, you won’t cry. Don’t cut the root end either because that’s where the compound that causes you to cry comes from.
I store garlic and ginger in the freezer if I buy too much, it works very well. My granny used to smack a head of iceberg lettuce on the counter to get the core out 😄 I do it if I'm making a big salad
That last one comes in handy when making Kanda Bhaji, which are fried onion fritters (an Indian recipe). It's similar to street food that people enjoy with chai.
Excellent video. I'm trying to avoid the rage-bait nonsense "hacks" on TikTok, so your videos let me get my fix without having to rant about why it wouldn't work! I'll probably give that garlic technique a try, as I can never get through a bag before it goes bad. I don't know why I never thought of just mincing it all in the food processor. I use a device similar to the onion slicer when I'm processing a lot of apples (for pies/cobblers, or freeze drying) but I need to chop an onion or two a day (hey, everything's better with an onion!). I can't imagine getting that thing out, using it, cleaning it, putting it away, then cutting my onions down to a shape that I actually need that frequently. I'll probably just stick to my trusty chef's knife!
Don't ever do the frying with the plastic bottle! If the hot oil spills too much, it will melt the plastic on your hands and it will be worse than just oil cause it will stick to the skin!
The lettuce slamming thing. My mom taught me this when I was a kid and im now mid 40's. I thought that everyone knew this and did it till my husband and I moved in together when I was in my 20s and he had no idea what I was doing. I did not see this as a hack.
For 7th place use a bag putting the cap in a corner and just twirl the bag in the same motion as the arm you can got faster and it works better. Also don't use a flimsy or cheap bag it could cause injury if you do.
The rice bowl hack would be good if your having company and want to make the take out look nice on the table. I've been doing the lettuce like that to remove the core, since I was little in the kitchen with my mom. So about 40 yrs. Lol 😂
The lettuce 'hack' is just a normal thing to do in the culinary field. You can also just twist the stem. People have been twisting and slamming the lettuce stem for years. My mother used to do the same thing back in the 90's, and she learnt that from her grandmother. I wouldn't call it a hack, but just how you remove the core. The real question I have is who cut's their lettuce? Aside from shredding it for fast food, I have never cut lettuce. Lol the thought of cutting lettuce just seems weird to me. Though it did give me a chuckle.
If I bought lettuce heads like that I definitely would cut it. I never would have thought of slamming it or twisting it to get the stem out. If you don't have parents who know much about cooking, then you're left growing up without that kind of knowledge and end up learning it far later than you probably should have. Unfortunately, that's the situation I'm in. Mom doesn't cook much, and if she does, it's rarely ever with fruits or vegetables. Don't have a dad to speak of so no chance there.
I don't know if it's really that dark chocolate melts slower than milk chocolate (if anything, since it's physically darker in color, it should absorb light and thus heat better), but rather that it has less cocoa butter, so it keeps its shape better and doesn't flow as easily?
scrambled eggs in water looks absolutely disgusting.
Hahha does look disgusting but it was surprisingly fluffy! Probably need to treat it like poached eggs and dry on paper towel. lol so weird
It's actully a part an really good recipe but um it's more like a tomato egg soup so your kinda right lol
@@yuecui2978 yeah I was just thinking that 😭 it's literally how we make egg and tomato soup

She said it takes too long so this is a quick fix!
Exactly, just keep the bottles upside down in the fridge and you never have to bother dislocating your shoulders!
Exactly. I mean, they literally make ketchup bottles designed for this.
If you live with other people there's a good chance someone will forget to put the ketchup upside down

I give the spiral a 10 out of 10 for me. I got one of those about 5 years ago and I absolutely love it!
So cool😂😂❤❤❤
The second to last one is what I do with wild garlic; purée the leaves, put them in a bag, freeze them a bit and then turn them into a garlic bar.
On the 15th hack use a plate and just slide them back in 💯 works a charm

The easiest way to cut onion w/o crying is to run some hot water, and chop them close to the sink. The hot water absorbs the fumes.

the pasta lid hack .......that's how we always do it at home, ever since I was young lmao
The melted chocolate feels like the chocolate version of this is not a bug, it's a feature 😂
The garlic hack is my favorite 😊
The lettuce slamming thing. My mom taught me this when I was a kid and im now mid 40's. I thought that everyone knew this and did it till my husband and I moved in together when I was in my 20s and he had no idea what I was doing. I did not see this as a hack.
The scrambled eggs hack is literally just a partial stracciatella soup recipe.
For 7th place use a bag putting the cap in a corner and just twirl the bag in the same motion as the arm you can got faster and it works better. Also don't use a flimsy or cheap bag it could cause injury if you do.
the pasta draining one looks pretty useful if you don’t have a colander but yeah most people do 😭
back when i worked in the kitchenware store i swear i used to sell at least 4 or 5 spiralizers a day. they were such a cooking fad like 10 years ago
Slamming the head of lettuce on the counter has always been my favorite part of making a salad. Shocking this was a hack the whole time.
OMG, a toothpick to drain water out of a pan. Tilt the lid and use the side of the lid that has little holes in it to make it easier.
I been slamming iceberg to get the root out that way since the late 90's
For the onion hack, do me a favor. Cut the whole onion in to 4 sections without cutting all the way through. Then put it through the slicer
I love your videos :3
The rice bowl hack would be good if your having company and want to make the take out look nice on the table. I've been doing the lettuce like that to remove the core, since I was little in the kitchen with my mom. So about 40 yrs. Lol 😂
The lettuce 'hack' is just a normal thing to do in the culinary field. You can also just twist the stem. People have been twisting and slamming the lettuce stem for years. My mother used to do the same thing back in the 90's, and she learnt that from her grandmother. I wouldn't call it a hack, but just how you remove the core. The real question I have is who cut's their lettuce? Aside from shredding it for fast food, I have never cut lettuce. Lol the thought of cutting lettuce just seems weird to me. Though it did give me a chuckle.
If I bought lettuce heads like that I definitely would cut it. I never would have thought of slamming it or twisting it to get the stem out. If you don't have parents who know much about cooking, then you're left growing up without that kind of knowledge and end up learning it far later than you probably should have. Unfortunately, that's the situation I'm in. Mom doesn't cook much, and if she does, it's rarely ever with fruits or vegetables. Don't have a dad to speak of so no chance there.
That lettuce hack is very old, my mum taught me that in the 80s.
I usually just shook the bottle of ketchup up and down with force (lid on the bottom) and it works pretty well
So called scrambled eggs in water looked absolutely horrible😅😅
The first hack: insted of slamming the lid to the pan, why not flip the pan over the lid, then rotate the lid and the pan in the same time....
You can’t fry in a smaller pan. The moisture in the food doesn’t have space to escape and will start steaming the food and make it soggy.
I just grab the lettuce core and twist it out normally, then store in zip lock bag with paper towel to keep it longer 😌
I don't know if it's really that dark chocolate melts slower than milk chocolate (if anything, since it's physically darker in color, it should absorb light and thus heat better), but rather that it has less cocoa butter, so it keeps its shape better and doesn't flow as easily?
my mother used to do the lettuce thing on the counter, we hated it because it made the lettuce go bad quickly, as you said!!!
