A 'revolutionary' trick using a stock cube is said to prevent lumps from forming in your dishes within seconds. The renowned OXO cube, famous for its quick flavour addition to meals, is particularly handy for busy parents. However, unwrapping its foil can often be a messy affair during food preparation, leaving you with stained and strongly scented fingers.
This way of opening an OXO cube has been revealed as incorrect. The cube's manufacturers claim that the silver foil packaging incorporates a useful method into its design. This reportedly results in minimal mess as you crumble the stock cube, producing a lump-free powder.
Cooks are instructed to "unfold the flaps on each side of the cube", transforming it into a flat sachet shape and neatly crumbling the contents inside. They are then asked to open it and pour the powder into the dish they're cooking. The ingenious hack quickly went viral on social media, with many sharing this 'secret trick' and adding their own.
Various social media channels were amazed by the revelation shown on YouTube , claiming it revolutionised their cooking methods, reports MirrorOnline. On the social media platform 'X', one user was astounded by a newfound method of using Oxo cubes, exclaiming: "I'm 54 yrs on this planet and never knew until today that you should squish an Oxo cube into a sachet type shape and simply tear off a corner and pour away - no bits of foil and no messy fingers. One gets wise with age one does.
