Here are the top 3 kitchen hacks from TikTok.

1. Use that Grater

It’s no secret that herbs add essence, aroma, and a whole new personality to your dish, which is why they are essential for cooking. Herbs like mint leaves, thyme, coriander, cilantro, rosemary, and more are quite aromatic and great for presentation but plucking the leaves of the stem can require some effort—UNLESS you have a cheese grater. Simply pull the stem through a cheese grater; it will automatically separate the leaves from the stem without you having to pluck them individually.

2. Garlic in the Microwave

Garlic, just like herbs, is a key ingredient for cooking because it enhances the flavor greatly and also makes it easier for your body to digest the food. However, the only downside of working with garlic is the challenge of peeling individual cloves. Individually peeling garlic can take a good chunk of your time, so a simple way to do it is to slightly heat up the garlic in the microwave. This will loosen the skin and make your job super easy.

3. One-Pan Breakfast Sandwich

Some days you just don’t have the time in the morning to make yourself a healthy and filling breakfast but thank heavens for TikTok trends because this one-pan breakfast sandwich is going to make your day. All you have to do is beat two to three eggs together, add a little salt and black pepper, pour the egg mix in the pan, and after a few seconds, place two slices of bread vertically inside the pan. Flip the bread and the egg, add in vegetables or bacon, fold the egg into the sandwich and flip one bread onto the other. There you have it, your delicious one-pan breakfast sandwich is ready!
