There are easier and cleaner ways to eat certain food. Below is the
list of 8 foods that you’ve been eating wrong and how you should be
eating them instead.
Ever have an Oreo crumble and fall apart when you dip it in milk? Here’s the solution. Take a fork and carefully insert it into the cream filling of oreo. Be sure note to push the fork too far in or it will separate. Hold the fork, dip the oreo into a glass of milk. Now, eat the milky oreo from the fork without a mess.
The next time you’re preparing strawberries for dessert, instead of slicing the tops off, which cause wastage, use this simple trick to hull them. Slicing off the tops of strawberries causes the fruit to lose nutrients. Simply push a straw through the berry to hull it.
Drowning your pancakes in syrup is inefficient. The top pancake will be completely soggy, while the middle pancakes are totally dry. The simple solution is to cut a square hole in the middle of pancake stack and pour syrup into it to ensure complete pancake saturation.
Eating a burger can be messy. Toppings falling off and sauce running down your arms seems like it’s all just part of the process. But there is an efficient way to hold and eat a burger with no mess or sticky fingers. First, flip your entire burger upside down. This is because the top bun is usually twice as thick as the bottom bun. The flip also means your lettuce will be at the bottom of the burger, allowing it to act as a barrier for dripping juices. Next, place your thumbs and little finger on the base and your remaining fingers on top of the burger to keep the juicy, delectable fillings from spilling out.
The right way to eat a cupcake is to cut the cake portion in half and stick the new layer on top of the frosting to create a cupcake sandwich.
Store the peanut butter upside down instead of right side up. The reason you get a layer of oil on the top is because you’ve been storing it all wrong. The upside down method allows the oils to distribute evenly throughout the container.
Cake cutting causes more issues than need be, due to knives being too short or making sure slices are even. The solution? Dental floss. Simply cut a long piece of unscented dental floss and use it as a cutting tool to easily slice the cake into pieces intact.
