And it's in the hat! 10 Foods to Open in a Different Way than We're Used to
It would seem - what can be difficult in opening the packaging of products that we use every day? Manufacturers, taking care of their consumers, have made this process as simple and convenient as possible. It will be all the more surprising to find out that the vast majority of people open the package in a completely different way than it was intended by the manufacturer. And how to do it right - our article will tell.
Cream in portion packs
In order to easily and quickly open the package and pour the cream without spilling it past the cup, you do not need to tear off the entire lid. Simply pull the tab located on each package away from you. The packaging will open neatly, and the cream will be right in the cup.
Portion sachet of sugar
Usually such a bag is opened from the corner, and more correctly - tear the package exactly in the middle, lifting the corners. Then all the sugar will pour right into the cup, the hands will remain clean, and the package will be empty, without any crumbs. This practical and convenient packaging was invented by Benjamin Eisenstadt.
Glass of coffee in fast food
Usually in cafes like McDonald's, coffee is served in cups with plastic lids. In order not to inadvertently spill a hot drink when opening the lid, the creators of the package have provided a small hole for drinking. To open it, just bend the tab of the plug until it stops. The hole will open, and the plug will remain fixed in a special recess.
Juice in carton box
It turns out that pouring juice from a package into a glass and not spilling a single drop is also an art. Especially if the pack contains 1.5 - 2 liters of juice. The secret is simple: the lid on the juice package is not located in the middle, but closer to one of the edges of the pack. If, when tilted, the lid is closer to the glass, then air will not enter the pack and the juice will pour out in jerks, splashing heavily. And if you turn the pack over so that the lid is on top, the juice will pour into the glass in an even and smooth stream.
You can clearly see the difference in the next video.
canned food
Unfortunately, it is not always possible to open a tin can evenly and accurately. In order for the cut to be always perfectly even and clear, it is necessary to lead the manual can opener towards you, at the same time, rotating the can in the opposite direction.
Boiled potatoes
Of course, everyone knows how difficult it can be to quickly peel potatoes cooked "in uniform". A pre-made transverse incision around the entire circumference of the potato will facilitate the process as much as possible. Now boiled potatoes need to be washed in cold water, and the skin will be removed with just one movement of the hand.
Coconut
How to properly split this shaggy exotic fruit to taste sweet milk? Such a question will certainly be asked by everyone who first encountered this nut. In fact, everything is simple. Each coconut has three small black dots. It is enough to pierce one of them with a sharp thin knife or screwdriver and you can enjoy a sweet drink.
To split a nut, you need to mentally draw a circle along the coconut closer to these points, and then tap the nut from all sides along this line. Coconut will quickly split into 2 pieces.
Champagne
Effectively and noisily open a bottle of champagne, arranging a fountain of sparkling spray, beautiful only in the movies. Not everyone succeeds in quickly and deftly uncorking a bottle without scaring the guests and without splashing the festive table. In order not to get into an awkward situation, you need to remember a few simple rules and a sequence of actions.
- It is better to pre-cool the champagne by placing the bottle in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
- Never shake a closed bottle.
- Carefully remove the wire ring securing the plug.
- While holding the cap, tilt the bottle at a 45 degree angle.
- With one hand holding the cork, with the other hand gently turn the bottle in turn in different directions.
- When the cork begins to slowly give in and out, carefully tilt it to the side with your thumb.
All is ready!
Dragee "Tic tac"
How do you usually take the dragee out of the package? The lid opens and shakes out in the palm of your hand? Surely not everyone knows that each lid is equipped with a special candy recess. It is enough just to turn the package over - and the dragee will be in this recess. Simply and easily!
Chips in tube package ("Pringles")
Everything is simple here. The special secret is not in opening the jar, but in the method of extracting the chips. It will be much more convenient if you first place a folded paper sheet in the jar. Now you just have to tilt the jar - and the chips will be removed directly on the paper backing. Fast and accurate!
Chips in a bag
In order to turn an ordinary package of chips into a snack plate, you will need to tear the package from the front side with any sharp object, for example, scissors. Then, gently rotating the pack horizontally, tear and remove the package until you get a small, comfortable open plate.
Wow! We are sometimes too lazy to think, but, indeed, this complicates our lives a little!
