From whipped drinks to unconventional flavour combinations, TikTok food hacks push the boundaries of traditional cooking, making it exciting and fun to try something new. They offer hacks, shortcuts and simplified versions of popular recipes, making them accessible to busy individuals and those who love a challenge. However, it can be hard to distinguish which hacks work, and which just waste your time. Using search data and TikTok views, the experts at Wren Kitchens have found out which food hacks will actually save you time in the kitchen. 1. Fruit roll ups with ice cream @sydwingold trying the ice cream in a fruit roll-up ? #fruitrollup #fruitrollupchallenge #icecreamfruitrollup ♬ Elevator Music - Bohoman Combining fruit roll-ups with ice cream is by far the most popular food hack right now. You can create the delicious dessert using two ingredients: fruit roll-ups and ice cream of your choice (vanilla, chocolate, etc) Method: 1. Start by unwrapping a fruit roll-up and lay it flat on a clean surface, such as a cutting board or countertop. 2. Take a scoop of your favourite ice cream and place it near the edge of the fruit roll-up. 3. Carefully roll the fruit roll-up around the ice cream, tucking in the sides as you go. 4. Once you have made all your ice cream rolls, you can enjoy them right away or place them in the freezer for a few minutes to firm up. 2. Pancake batter in ice cube tray @feelgoodfoodie These freezer pancake cubes are perfect for meal prep to have on busy mornings or for suhoor Ramadan mornings. Use any batter you like and just add a little extra cooking time depending on how thick they are. #ramadansuhoor #pancakecubes #freezerpancakes IB: @dliciouslyinspired ♬ original sound - Feel Good Foodie Your ice cube tray is the answer to a quick brunch fix: fluffy pancakes. Method: 1. Start by making your preferred pancake batter with a basic recipe that typically includes flour, eggs, milk and sugar. 2. Mix all the ingredients until you have a smooth batter. 3. Use an ice cube tray and spoon the batter into the individual compartments of the ice cube tray, filling each one about 2/3 full. 4. Let it freeze completely, which usually takes a few hours or overnight. 5. Once the batter is frozen solid, carefully remove the ice cube tray from the freezer. Gently push on the bottom of each compartment to pop out the pancake batter ice cubes. As it melts on the pan, you’ll have the perfect size to cook and enjoy! 3. Ketchup packet cut @heinz_ca Say goodbye to awkwardly squeezing out ketchup packets. ♬ heinz ketchup packet hack - Heinz Canada For easier access and more ketchup for your fries, this hack is genius. Tear the ketchup packet horizontally in its entirety, rather than ripping it open from the top. Once cut, grab both ends of the sachet and push them towards each other to make a little pouch to easily dip your fries into. Be careful not to squeeze the packet too hard or cut it too deep, as the contents will spill out. 4. Burger upside down Isn’t it frustrating when you eat a burger and the contents fall out with each bite you take? Eating a burger upside down prevents the condiments from falling out and maximises the taste. The top side of a burger bun is thicker than the bottom, so the bread absorbs more of the juice’s sauce and flavour. This can be especially useful if you have a burger with a lot of toppings or if the bun is particularly soft or slippery. 5. Jelly drink @williamsengg I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the jelly drink I made for my girlfriend so here’s my favorite version and all the tips and tricks for making it ✨ hope it helps #jellydrink #williamsengg #fyp #xyzbca ♬ the one that got away - el This viral drink is popular for those who want a quick jelly snack without waiting overnight for it to set. Method: 1. Grab a handful of your favourite flavour of jelly sweets and place them in an empty cup. 2. Add 3/4 cup of hot water to fully submerge the gummies and mix until the pieces of candy dissolve. 3. Let it chill in the fridge for five hours. 4. When the mixture is solid, pour 2 teaspoons of condensed milk and 1/3 cup of milk, over the solid jelly layer. 5. Use your straw to poke holes all over the jelly layer to break it up into small chunks and enjoy! 6. Pierce a hole in a lemon for easy juice @paulfosterchef Great Lemon juice hack #chef #chefhack #viral #lemon #lemonjuice #homecooking #cook #howtocookproperly ♬ QUIET DOWN 2 - Madison Malone This hack is impressing everyone who tries it. Roll your lemon on a cutting board and, using a skewer, toothpick, or pin, poke a hole in the non-stem end of the lemon. You now have an easy way to squeeze lemon juice out of a lemon. As you only poke a tiny hole in the lemon, you can preserve the lemon for a week in an airtight bag, without the risk of it drying out. 7. Spicy pickled garlic @lisanguyen Pickled garlic with sriracha, chili powder & thyme (credit: @lalaleluu) #pickledgarlic #foodie ♬ Aesthetic Girl - Yusei Pickled garlic can be used as a condiment or added to various dishes for an extra kick of flavour. Some people enjoy eating pickled garlic straight out of the jar, while others use it as a topping for salads, sandwiches or cheese platters. For this spicy hack, all you do is drain a jar of pickled garlic and add some sriracha and other seasonings, such as chilli flakes and thyme, and shake. Ensure you use pickled garlic and not raw garlic. Pickled garlic is usually stored in vinegar, not oil, and when compared to raw garlic, it has a milder and sweet taste.

In the face of mounting pressure from labour shortages, supply delays and skyrocketing energy prices, celebrating British produce is more important than ever. If you’re in a supermarket during the next two weeks, look out for a British Tomato Fortnight sticker. Running until 11 June, the campaign hopes to shine a light on locally grown varieties and encourage consumers to buy British. Not only is that a boon to your carbon footprint and your health, but also to your plate – juicy and packed full of flavour, British toms are an extremely versatile cooking ingredient. They go especially well in this pasta puttanesca, which takes no more than 30 minutes to get onto the table, as well as the tomato, lemon zest and sage risotto with burrata – ultimate comfort food that’s balanced by the natural sweetness of the whole toms. Lastly, in the saffron chicken, tomato, orzo and squash stew, the toms are left whole and added it right at the end for a delightful sweet note. Get stuck in. Piccolo pasta puttanesca This dish doesn’t take much longer than the 30 minutes needed to roast the Piccolo cherry tomatoes. Perfection. Serves: 4 Ingredients: 750g Piccolo cherry tomatoes Olive oil 300g spaghetti 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 red chilli, finally chopped 1 tsp tomato purée 100g pitted black olives, roughly chopped 8 anchovy fillets in oil, drained, roughly chopped 2 tbsp capers, drained 1 heaped tbsp chopped fresh basil To serve: Freshly grated parmesan Fresh basil, to garnish Method: Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 5. Tip the Piccolo cherry tomatoes onto a baking tray and drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil. Roast for 30 minutes. Cook the spaghetti according to packet instructions. Heat a dash of olive oil in a saucepan, add the garlic and red chilli and cook for a few minutes until aromatic. Add the tomato purée and cook for another minute. Remove the roasted tomatoes from the oven, pour any excess liquid into a bowl and set aside. Add the tomatoes (along with the chopped olives, anchovies and capers) to the pan with the garlic and chilli. Sprinkle over the chopped basil. Add a splash of the excess tomato liquid if necessary. Drain the spaghetti and serve with the puttanesca sauce topped with freshly grated parmesan and extra basil. Tomato, lemon zest and sage risotto with burrata The ultimate in comfort food, this risotto really packs in the flavour, balanced by the natural sweetness of the whole Piccolos. Serves: 4 3 tbsp olive oil 2 shallots, finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 1½ tbsp tomato purée 280g risotto rice, such as Arborio Knob of butter 100ml white wine 1 litre stock (made with 1 vegetable or chicken stock cube) 1 lemon, zest only 10 sage leaves, chopped 50g Parmesan, finely grated 250g Piccolo cherry tomatoes, left whole, stalks removed if preferred 115g burrata, divided into quarters 1 heaped tbsp toasted pine nuts Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling Method: Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the shallots, stir well then cover and cook over a low heat until soft and lightly browned. Add the garlic and tomato purée and cook for another minute. Stir in the rice with a knob of butter, continue to stir and cook for another minute. Pour the wine into the pan and bring to a simmer. Cook for a minute for the rice to absorb the liquid. Add a quarter of the stock and cook to allow the liquid to be absorbed – keep adding more stock as it is absorbed. Stir from time to time. Add the lemon zest and chopped sage. Cook uncovered, stirring from time to time, for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and very creamy. Finally, stir in the Parmesan cheese. Meanwhile, heat another pan with a dash of olive oil and cook the tomatoes over a high heat until softened. Divide the risotto among four plates, topped with the Piccolo cherry tomatoes, a quarter of the burrata for each serving, some toasted pine nuts, and a drizzle of olive oil.
