Food hacks that ACTUALLY work!
If you’ve spent any time on social media over the past decade, you’ve seen a TON of supposed “food hacks” like “bake cookies in your car on a hot day” or “infuse vodka with grilled cheese“…most of which are lame and sometimes don’t work!
Leave it to Buzzfeed to sort the wheat from the chaff…here are some that are ACTUALLY worth it,including:
- Using a baby monitor to keep an eye on the temperature of a smoker.
- Eating a hard taco OVER a soft tortilla shell so when everything drops out of the first taco, you get a second taco.
- Mixing a few cereals together for variety AND to regulate sweetness levels.
- For easy-to-eat s’mores, try making them in ice cream cones. (!!!)
- Using ramen for popcorn seasoning by mixing the powder with some melted butter and maybe some chili powder.
- Using the bottom of a bottle of wine (the indentation called a “punt”) as a press to make homemade ravioli.
- Steaming your vegetables while cooking pasta noodles by placing a cookie cooling rack over your pot of boiling spaghetti, adding the veggies on it then laying the lid over the top so they’ll steam over the pasta.
- Putting a beer koozie on your ice cream pint so you can keep your hand warm, and the ice cream cold.
In a word…BRILLIANT!
What are yours?
