Kitchen Hacks Tested


 

If you’re like me you watch ‘life-changing hack’ videos while thinking ‘I’m sure that it won’t work’. Some ‘hacks’ are so bad that they are not even worth trying. But there are others that are interesting. In this series I am putting kitchen hacks to the test to see if they are a HIT or a MYTH.

The hacks tested today are listed below, watch the video to see the results, they might surprise you.

Hack: Instead of cutting a lemon to get a squeeze of lemon juice poke it with a skewer to keep the rest of the lemon fresh.
