A clever freezer has people absolutely gobsmacked. Filling up our freezers is a smart thing to do – it's budget-friendly, reduces food waste, and simplifies meal preparation. Frozen vegetables are essential for many households since they freeze beautifully and integrate effortlessly into countless dishes.
Yet, the exasperating issue of little veggie bits scattering from an open bag into the freezer compartment is all too familiar. Furthermore, the tricky endeavor of dispensing vegetables from a frosty bag without spilling them is often awkward. Enter Megan Splawn, a culinary writer whose simple tactic has astounded people.
Boasting an Instagram audience exceeding 26,000, Megan swears by this method each time she handles a bag of frozen vegetables. Her recommendation is precise: "If you have a bag of frozen veggies, instead of just ripping it open, if you cut a V shape in it, now you have like a cool little spout to pour it out." She clarifies that this approach not only delivers a nifty pour spout but also affords the merging of the bag to forestall any leaks.
Megan, who divulged her tip on Instagram via @meghan_splawn, elaborated further: "Also then you can tie it up. It's not going to spill all over your freezer." The feedback to her food storage hack was immediate and overwhelmingly positive, with an individual remarking: "Well this just changed my life.
" Another agreed, adding: "This is an excellent idea." A third added: "This kind of content is exactly why the internet should exist. I literally just showed this to everyone in my household so we could all learn together.
" Someone else mixed appreciation with comedic flair, quipping: "Oh my God, thank you so much for this, all of my stupid chip clips are on the stupid bags in the stupid freezer and I ain't even got any for my actual stupid chips." A practical user shared their own take on the hack, writing: "Great hack! I always cut straight across and then use that thin top portion that I have cut to use as a string to tie it." One person humorously lamented their lack of ingenuity upon seeing the tip: "Seeing stuff like this makes me genuinely disappointed in my brain lol.
It's so simple and makes so much sense." Amidst the chuckles, terms of praise flew, with one calling the technique "genius" and another expressing sheer delight: "The best, most random hack internet has ever thrown my way," someone praised..
