Freezing food perfectly is something we all want. It’s an ideal way to keep your food fresh for longer — if you do it the right way. Because quite a few problems can arise with the freezer. Too little space, torn-open bags… We discovered a hack that solves all these problems for you in one fell swoop.

You can keep a lot of food in the freezer for quite a long time. Which is great, of course, because if you save something, you’ll have it later. But it also means that your freezer eventually becomes overstuffed. And if half of the freezer consists of torn-open bags — and is therefore full of loose food — you’ll really lose your mind. Time to tidy up that mess. How? With this TikTok hack!

TikTok hack: freezing bags of food

The hack is genius, if you ask us. And not difficult at all. Cut a U-shape into the torn-open part of your freezer bag. The opened section, that is. This way, you create two ‘handles’ that you can tie together. A bit like you do with a garbage bag. You can now easily stack the smaller tied-up bags on top of one another. Voilà, more space in your freezer. Plus: no more loose food scraps! Your food is safely stored in the bag. Great, right?

Can you also solve this problem with a freezer clip? Yes. Are there worse problems in the world? Yes. But 1: sometimes you simply don’t have those clips at home. And 2: we love life hacks. Especially ultimate kitchen hacks. This garlic hack (which involves freezing garlic) is already part of our routine. Or this hack for bringing cold butter up to temperature in no time: fantastic. You’re welcome!
