Shocking Emergency Calls in the kitchen and quick fixes from TikTok

TikTok is filled with cooking hacks and food trends fit to help avoid many a kitchen emergency! Here are four hacks we just love for their ingenuity:

We’ve all got a favourite Tupperware and, while losing the lid is a common occurrence, the bigger problem is the inevitable grease stain that always seems to get left behind. Here’s the TikTok trend that’ll help you avoid an unsightly Tupperware emergency! Start by putting a little bit of dish soap and warm water into the stained Tupperware, followed by a few small pieces of torn paper towels. Close the lid and shake the container vigorously for 45 seconds to one minute, give the Tupperware a good rinse, and voila! Tupperware restoration complete and Tupperware emergency averted.

You’re heading for a hangry moment (which always results in some sort of an emergency) and cold pizza just won’t do! But there’s a TikTok pizza reheating pro hack – and all you need is a frying pan. Place the pizza in a heated pan, add a bit of water, cover with a lid, and within about five minutes, your pizza will be crispy again with gooey cheese.

Tired of having a “nail-event” emergency every time you peel an orange? This TikTok no-pick orange peeling hack will keep the orange pith out from under your nails and your mani intact. Cut each end of the orange off, make incisions in the peel with a knife and simply pull the peel away – you’re left with a perfectly peeled orange fresh for eating!

No bigger emergency exists than having to drink warm wine, and if you’re like us, diluting wine with ice is an even bigger catastrophe than having no wine at all! TikTokkers swear by chilling wine with frozen grapes –  stash a bunch of grapes in the freezer and you’re sorted in the chilled wine department.
