Some of the hacks show us how to use or open certain products which were intended to be used that way but no one knew. So, Social media can be very helpful at times too.
Out of all these food hacks, we will mention a few to you with our verdict on whether it is worth a try or nah.

Social Media Food Hacks
Lemon juice and toothpick
I am sure you must have seen the video of a girl holding up a lemon and piercing the lemon with a toothpick. The traditional way of extracting the lemon juice is by slicing the lemon in half and squeezing it to get the juice out. But according to this hack, you pierce the lemon on the bottom, squeeze the lemon and you will get lemon juice without seeds and a knife.
Now here’s the problem. In a kitchen, you are more likely to find a knife than a toothpick. Also, even if you manage to find a toothpick and pierce the lemon, it is going to take an immense amount of strength to squeeze the lemon juice out. The traditional way is used for centuries for a reason. If the seeds are your concern then consider using a hand lemon squeezer over this hack.
Halfing many cherry tomatoes in one go
There’s this technique of cutting many cherry tomatoes at once. So basically, you take a plastic lid and place cherry tomatoes on it. Then place another plastic lid on top of these cherry tomatoes to hold it in place. Then take a sharp knife and slice the cherry tomatoes horizontally. Now, this hack could work for sure but you will need a very sharp knife along with a nice grip on the plastic lids so that the cherry tomatoes don’t roll out. Overall, just slice your tomatoes the normal way, this hack isn’t it.
Peeling garlic skin
Over the years, we have seen so many tricks and techniques to peel garlic skin. The microwaving to remove the peel hack. This is where you microwave the garlic and the peel magically comes out or use a spoon to peel the garlic. The most famous one is where they put the garlic in a jar and close the lid. Then they shake it for thirty seconds and when they open it all the peel has been separated. Do any of these work? Absolutely not. It isn’t even worth your time and effort.
Using cola instead of eggs
Many people are always on the lookout for the next best vegetarian recipe that does not require you to use eggs. Especially during baking cakes and pastries. So in this hack, you see a woman use sprite instead of eggs to make a cake. Does it work? Surprisingly this hack does work. But the cakes taste awful. They turn out to be overly sweet and taste too gummy for anyone to like the taste. So in the end, this hack does not work, unfortunately.
Fluffy cloud bread
You must have definitely seen a variety of these cloud bread on your social media more than once. The recipe is simple but the main attraction of this is the fluffy texture of the bread. All you need to do to make this is take the egg whites, and sugar and whisk it till it froths. Bake this batter in the oven and your cloud bread is ready. This hack works. However, the taste is quite eggy and not in a nice way. You can feel the eggy taste and the sugar taste. Maybe adding a bit of vanilla extract would make this recipe work better.
Genius Tortilla Hack
Now this one is definitely one of the greatest kitchen hacks. If not a tortilla, try this with a chapati. Divide this is four equal sections. Make a small slit in the middle of two quadrants. Now take four of your favorite fillings. We recommend avocado, a sauce/chutney you like, corn/ chicken/ vegetable/ egg, cheese and mayonnaise/ rice/ spicy tuna. Now, start folding the tortilla in a triangle shape overlapping each side, and tada! Your tasty quesadilla is ready. Does this hack work? Yes. Does it taste good? Absolutely yes! Especially because you get to add your favorite ingredients to this.
Your easiest pasta
This hack tells you the easiest way to eat pasta. However, this does require an oven and a baking dish. Uunifeta pasta is a viral Finnish pasta recipe. So, we start by placing cherry tomato and a block of Feta cheese in the middle of a baking tray. Then we sprinkle some olive oil, pepper, and salt and if you wish to you may add oregano, chili flakes, and garlic. Bake the mixture till the tomatoes are caramelized and the Feta cheese turns brown. Once, this happens remove the mixture out and mix them together and your creamy pasta sauce is ready. Just add your favorite pasta to this and enjoy!

The best cheese sandwich
Yes, we know, making cheese sandwiches is very easy. All you have to do is put cheese in the middle of two slices of bread and toast it. Sure, it does taste nice. But what if you could make it tastier? So to make this tasty mixture, take cream cheese, grated cheese (cheddar), a little bit of heavy cream, and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl add mayonnaise, salt, and minced garlic and mix them together.

Fry this sandwich in a skillet. You will guaranteed bee in cheese heaven from the first bite itself.
