10 Of The Most Helpful (And Viral) Cooking Tips Of The Year |
Whether it’s finding the secret to fluffy, crispy roast potatoes or working out why restaurant scrambled eggs taste so much better, we love a cooking trick here at HuffPost UK.
And so do the netizens of Reddit’s r/Cooking, a forum devoted to sharing cooking queries, hacks, and facts.
So, we thought we’d share some of the most useful and viral submissions of the year (we’re taking notes).

″[It] will be one of the best culinary decisions of your life. So many healthy, easy, weeknight recipes can be made. So just please, make the investment.”

2) “You can just use the whole tiny tin of tomato [puree]. It’s fine.”

“Just use the whole can! It’s really not adding that much to whatever you’re probably making with it anyway, and if anything, it’ll probably be more delicious. ‘Oh no! My chilli is packed with too much savoury tomato goodness!’ You will never hear people say this. It is a nonsense phrase.
“I’ve started doing it every single time, and I haven’t had a problem yet. They have been lying to us. Join me in casting off our shackles.”
