When you eat at the office, you have to make do with the tools available to you. Have a coffee mug? You can use it to boil eggs for lunch, or as an impromptu shelf to fit more in the office microwave. This video from Food Beast runs through a number of office-friendly food hacks and tricks to improve your snacking.
A lot of the tricks in the video are ones you've likely seen before if you've been reading Lifehacker for a while. Here are a few we've highlighted that are also in the video:
- Create an instant snack bowl from any snack bag (although they really should have eaten those chips with chopsticks)
- Use a rubber band to keep a sliced apple fresh
- Use a banana to quickly ripen an avocado
- Microwave crunchy granola bars so you don't need like a bowl to eat them.
- Use a CD spindle as a bagel lunch tote
- Boost your phone's sound with an empty mug or cup. Or a cereal bowl. Or a glass pitcher or vase. Or a plastic cup. You know, let's just put them all to the test.
There are plenty of others in the video, like using a mug to create an impromptu shelf in the microwave so you can fit two plates in at the same time, and using a very very hot cup of coffee to boil an egg (although we'd suggest if you're going to do that, maybe a USB mug warmer is in order to keep the heat nice and high—unless you really like soft boiled eggs.) Also, there are some common-sense ones in there too, like using a pen as a chip bag clip, and arranging your food in a ring to heat more evenly in the microwave (although the edge of the carousel is the best spot.)
