We all have seen food hacks online. With how popular food critics are now and the ease of posting on social media, it’s almost impossible to avoid “food hacks.” Most of them are not really appealing to everyone though. But what about the “food hacks” that aren’t dumb? The ones we actually can use or do that make total sense?
A website did some work and has collected the best food hacks that are actually worth it to do!
LIST OF FOOD HACKS TO MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER!
Using a baby monitor to keep an eye on the temperature of a smoker. This is genius if you don’t have one of those app operated smokers!
Eating a hard taco OVER a soft tortilla shell . . . and with everything that drops out of the first taco, you get a second taco. If you’ve eaten at Taco Bell, this is one you definitely know you need to do! Those post hard shell taco messes can be wasteful!
Mathematically, one 18-inch pizza has more pizza than TWO 12-inch pies. You can’t argue with math. Just order the 18-incher!
Mixing a few cereals together, for variety AND to regulate sweetness levels. This makes sense. But if you’re going to make your favorite cereal, might as well just go all out. But if you’re managing your sweetness level, this is a smart way.
For easy-to-eat s’mores, try making them in ice cream cones.
If you don’t have a cake dome, use a Tupperware container upside down.
Using a ramen packet for popcorn seasoning . . . just mix the powder with some melted butter, and maybe some chili powder. THIS! This hack is a game changer on movie nights!
Using the bottom of a bottle of wine . . . if it has a deep indented center . . . 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 veg on it, then laying the lid over the top so they’ll steam over the pasta. Done this and works amazing! It’s definitely a two birds, one stone type deal! Try it next time!
Putting a koozie on your ice cream pint . . . so you can keep your hand warm, and the ice cream cold. This is just straight genius!
What are hacks that you do to make life easier for you? We have more on this story and more in today’s edition of a Few Things You Should Know!
