“I believe that cooking hacks and tricks truly have merit if they provide real value,” chef Eugene Wong tells Bored Panda. “They should help the cook save time and energy while also enhancing the end product in terms of flavor and overall culinary experience.”
Eugene observes that a lot of content on social media platforms focuses on quick and easily digestible tips and tricks. “The problem is that creators are trying too hard to come up with a ‘hack’ for the sake of views and likes and not so much helping the person cooking.”

Cooking for yourself at home every night can be exhausting. It’s natural to lose inspiration and opt for takeout or some simple microwavable food once in a while. “Feeling uninspired often means you might be bored or too tired to cook, or perhaps, [you] lack the energy to try a new recipe,” Eugene says.

“This can reinvigorate your sense of smell and spark ideas for ingredients and dishes that pair well with fresh herbs. It is not the same as trying to smell herbs at the grocery store that are in packets – you need the smell of the plants in the soil.”
