TikTok has everything—from beauty tutorials and fashion trends to DIY projects and fitness challenges, there’s everything on the platform. But one of our favorite things are the food hacks. With all of the food hacks, we find ourselves wondering which ones actually work. These three are our go-to TikTok food hacks.
Hull a Strawberry with a Straw
When you make pies or fruit salads, with strawberries you need to remove the cores and stems which is a real hassle. While you can do it with a paring knife or huller, a straw will also do the trick. All you need to do is insert the straw through the bottom of the strawberry and push it up and through the top.

Microwave Garlic to Remove the Peel
Peeling garlic is one of the most annoying parts of cooking and by the end of it, you’re hands smell super garlicky. Yuck. The easiest way to peel is to microwave it for up to 30 seconds and the skin will come right off.

Separate an Egg Yolk with a Water Bottle
Chances are you’ve come across a recipe that calls for just egg yolks or egg whites when baking breads or making omelets and separating them is a real nightmare. But this hack makes it super easy. Just squeeze and hold the mouth of an empty plastic water bottle close to the egg yolk and then release pressure on the bottle. The bottle will suck the egg yolk up.
