Good food doesn't have to be complicated; just a few simple tricks can save you time, money, and hassle. And you can find them on r/FoodHacks!

If, however, you don't take my word for it, consider this: the subreddit already has over 2.1 million members. That number wouldn't be so big if it was pure nonsense now, would it?

I have taught cooking classes centered on Things You Can Cook With a Waffle Iron. Grilled cheese, panini, hash browns, brownie, calzones, quesadillas...you’d be surprised how many tasty things you can make with this one little gadget!

I don't like tomato soup but I love to dip grilled cheese in other soups and even applesauce.

You can also try using two leftover waffles to make a delicious grilled cheese sandwich by putting cheese in the middle of testing it, it's actually really delicious!

Might want to let people know that it's a grilled cheese sandwich and not just grilled cheese. Some aren't familiar with the concept.

A good grilled cheese sandwich is a work of art, and pairing it with tomato soup is so common in Canada you can order it in any diner and cafe from Newfoundland to British Columbia. It’s comfort food at its finest.

'Curry blend'???? What kind of curry, North Indian, South Indian, Korean, Chinese, Thai??? The word 'curry' is a suffix, it is supposed to be added after the region it is inspired from!

I always thought dry spices are forever. It's not true ? I use too many, no chance to stay even for a year.

We use cinamon in the Netherlands. Healthier then adding sugar. (With milk you get Wentelteefjes :) )

You can use the bottom of a springform pan, also. Lemon will not only kill the natural fish's flavor, but will also overcook it. If you like your fish lemon-ey, just add some zeste on top instead (grated lemon skin)
