Food, glorious food. Where would be without it? Malnourished, yes, but – if the past year is anything to go by – also bored. Whether it involves making fresh pasta or fancy restaurant meal kits, experimenting with food is one of the activities that has consistently delivered us from catatonia throughout lockdown – just like TikTok. On that note, here are some of the best TikTok food hacks.

1. HOW TO CHOP CHERRY TOMATOES EFFICIENTLY

Why half cherry tomatoes – or anything small and spherical – individually when you can do it in one fell swoop beneath a tupperware lid? Plus the need for said tupperware lid is a perfect excuse for a takeaway.

3. WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR VEGETABLE SCRAPS

While it’s tempting to immediately bin all waste after chopping vegetables, don’t – freeze it instead. And then use it to make vegetable stock.

5. HOW TO CHECK THE DONENESS OF MEAT

6. HOW TO CRACK AN EGG PERFECTLY

With the possibility of shell remnants and split yolks to contend with, cracking eggs is a risky business. But if you throw caution to the wind and simply drop one straight into a frying pan, there will be no such issues – according to TikTok, at least.

8. HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN SALT

Now, this might seem rather fanciful, but wouldn’t it be nice to just casually walk to the beach whenever you needed salt? We guess the landlocked among us will have to be content with Tesco.

11. HOW TO MAKE A TIGHT WRAP
