Womans potato hack gives perfectly cut strips every time with £3.50 tool

2023-02-01

A woman has shared a trick to cut identical potato chips ever time – using a £3.50 kitchen tool.

Florence Simpson showed viewers her way to "work smarter, not harder" when it came to cooking.

She took the tool out and said: "I don't know who needs to hear this but if you have an apple corer, they also work really well on potatoes."

Pushing the peeler down on a potato, the vegetable divides into 10 equal parts.

Florence continued: "Me and my siblings always used to fight over this bit [the core] when we were kids.

"That way they are all fairly similar in size as well, even cooking time. We are working smarter, not harder in 2023."

Viewers were gobsmacked that they have never thought of using an apple corer.

One wrote: "Oh my God, you just changed my life, I'm ordering one now!"

Another penned: "Genius! I have one and I never knew I could do that."

"Dude, that'd fastest fried ever made," a third added and a fourth wondered: "That is so smart, why am I still learning things from TikTok?"

An apple corer can be easily found in department stores and homeware shops – a basic one from John Lewis, similar to the one Florence was using, costs about £3.50.

Meanwhile, a man found a trick to separate egg whites and egg yolk without using any tools.

Dustin rubbed his fingers on a garlic clove then broke an egg into a bowl, pinching the egg yolk.

The yolk stayed intact and separated from the egg white perfectly.

"So you're telling me that for 40 years that I've been baking cakes, trying to figure out how to separate the yolk from the white, that I could have been doing this?" he said.

"Talk about a game changer!"
