In this episode, morning hacks!
Now if you hate starting your morning with burnt toast,
well I'm going to give you a quick solution.
All you need is some foil,
so I've got my bread here and I've cut it in half
so I'm gonna show you a version of it with the hack...
used with the hack and one without the hack.
Cover one half of my slice of bread.
So later, you're gonna see the one that is covered with the foil will not burn.
Alright, so I think we're done.
I have my burnt toast here and then underneath the foil,
is my other piece of toast and it doesn't look cooked at all but it is.
It is nicely toasted but it is not burnt. See.
Shiok right? Who knew?
Now if you're one of those people that really don't like instant coffee
and you don't have time to go and brew a coffee for yourself,
here's a real time saver that I'm about to teach you!
So what you need to do is you need to pre make the coffee before hand
and then, fill the ice tray with the coffee. Chuck it
Chuck it in the freezer overnight and then it's good to go.
In the morning, all you need to do is take it out of the tray.
Look at that, it looks so good.
Put all the ice cubes inside a glass,
depending on how strong you want your coffee.
Add hot milk, and that will melt the ice
and turn your coffee into a very nice iced coffee.
Great for when you're living in a hot country like Singapore.
And there you have it, and iced cafe latte.
Oh my god, it's so good.
And with the remaining cubes,
you can just chuck it back into the freezer for the next day.
This would last me 10 seconds,
no lah, 10 minutes.
Now I'm going to show you how to crack an egg
without getting any shells in the egg.
So most of us make the mistake of cracking the egg
on the edge of a bowl or table top or whatever
So what happens is when you're doing it this way,
you're actually breaking open the membrane as well
so the membrane is what holds the whole shell together I guess.
How do i know... I'm just like anyhow making up.
So as you can see, there's a little bit of eggshell right there.
So next time, you might want to try this.
Actually cracking your egg on a flat surface.
That way, you're less likely to break the membrane.
You can see, such a nice crack. Look at that.
That is the best crack I've ever seen.
This way, there is no shells, and it's just one smooth crack like that.
Look at that, I can even put it back together.
There's something really satisfying about that.
Alright, so if you've got no time in the morning
and you really really want some bacon for breakfast,
here's a really quick way to cook it.
Okay, so instead of getting your pan out and heating it up and putting in the pan
and blah blah blah,
just grab a bowl and a plate, some bacon, get a couple of strips...
It's slimy.
Okay, some of you may not know I've got like a phobia of holding meat,
just handling...
just grosses me out, I don't know.
Why is it not coming out, hurry up!
Okay.
Did you see that?
So I've got 2 pieces of bacon here, I'm just going to drape it over the bowl.
After you've placed your bacon over the bowl, place a piece of paper towel over the bacon.
It will keep your microwave clean, instead of spreading oil everywhere.
So with each slice of bacon,
you have to put it in the microwave for 1 minute
so because I have 2 slices right here,
it goes in for 2 minutes.
So the bacon is ready.
Check this out, crispy bacon, look at that!
That is amazing and the best part about this is,
there is so much less mess than doing it in a pan.
Like you don't have to wipe all the oil and stuff off the wall
and the pan and the bench top and everything.
It is so nicely cooked, it is crispy but yet moist.
And during that 2 minutes you don't have to watch anything, you can go off and
get ready.
I love that, that's awesome.
Just a shame I don't eat bacon.
So this one can be really really annoying.
when you want to butter your slice of bread and the butter is too damn hard.
So you got to use quite a bit of force to get some butter onto your knife.
Not only that, when you want to spread it on your bread, it's harder to spread.
All you have to do is boil some water and then,
pour the water into the cup, dip your knife into the hot water.
Just have to wait a couple seconds,
get a paper towel ready so you can dry the knife.
You can see how, I'm barely touching the butter
and it's just melting onto the knife like that.
And then, it's easier to spread on the bread.
Another way to melt your butter faster without melting the entire thing
is to actually grab a cup. What you
want to do with this is you want to bring it into the microwave
and put it in there for about 10 seconds or so.
It's just to make the cup nice and hot.
Grab the glass, and put it over the butter just like that.
I'm gonna wait a few seconds and what that does,
it makes the outside of the butter nice and soft
so that it's easier for you to spread later.
Freaking hell that was bloody hot!
Okay, look at that, I'm barely putting pressure on there.
The butter came off so easily. This is so much better, right?
If you're looking for a faster way to cook your pancakes in the morning,
here is a solution!
Okay, so with this pancake mix, I don't have to add anything but milk.
Pour about a cup of milk into the bottle.
Next you wanna add the pancake mixture into the milk like this.
I've got my lid on the bottle,
now just give it a good shake.
Alright, so now that it's ready to be cooked,
put my butter into the pan.
Pour the pancake mixture into the pan.
I'm just going to make 1 for now.
It's a weird weird shape people.
So now, I can put the rest of this into the fridge
and save it for another day!
Look at that, amazing.
And there you have it, a nice lovely pancake. It is really smoky in here now
Can you see all the smoke?
A room full of smoke and a nice fluffy pancake.
Some of you who do wear makeup you might find this one a little bit irritating,
when you're rushing in the morning
and you put a light coloured top on with a small neck line
and then you end up getting makeup all over the neck line.
Well, all you need to do is grab a small scarf.
So we put the scarf over our head like this.
And then, we put our tops on,
and that's all there is to it.
It's still creased though right? I'll give you another hack for these creases.
So as you can see, I have my T-shirt on
but I've got this massive big crease right here
and I've got no time to bring out the iron and iron it.
So the quickest solution is
to actually just get a spray bottle with some water
and a hair dryer.
And I'm going to spray the area that needs to be iron.
Then I'm going to dry it.
And just like that, the crease is gone my friends.
How easy and quick was that!
I'm telling you, this is much better.
So say you have some food in the fridge that you want to take to work the next morning,
and you're afraid that you're going to forget it.
So this is what I do, I actually grab a fork,
put it on the things that I'm going to take the next day,
put it on top of that so the next morning I'll be like...
What the hell is this doing here? Oh yeah I got my stuff in the fridge,
I better go get it.
Another way you can do it is actually just put your keys on top of your lunchbox in the fridge.
That way, you can't leave the house without your keys, or your lunchbox.
Super easy right? Yes.
See, isn't that amazing?
You can get this keychain right here from tandemmerch.com,
yes.
Now here's a nifty little trick to make your perfume last all day long.
Okay, so all you need is some vaseline,
which I'm going to put on my pulse point right here,
rub that in.
And then, I'm gonna spray my perfume over the top.
So if you don't believe me, put it to the test
and put vaseline on one side and no vaseline on the other
and then go back your business the whole day
and see how it smells at the end of the day.
I'm telling you, this stuff works.
We've come to an end of yet another episode.
