More often than not, your soup or stew will have some excess grease accumulated on top. While this doesn’t mean anything is wrong with it, some people can be slightly turned off by this occurrence. If you are one of them, you’ll be happy to know that there is a simple hack that can take care of this issue in a heartbeat.
Hack for De-Greasing Soups, Stews, and Sauces
The de-greasing hack was shared by TikTok’s favorite grandma Barbara Costello aka @brunchwithbabs. In a clip posted on the popular social media platform, Costello takes a stainless steel ladle and fills it with ice. She then sets in on top of her greasy sauce, and the magic starts happening. The grease gets attracted by cold and sticks on the outside of the ladle, where it can be easily removed with a paper towel.
The hack quickly became viral, being viewed almost nine million times and receiving 755K likes. The comment section was also filled with testimonies of other users who tried Costello’s hack and said it worked like a charm. So make sure to try it yourself if you don’t want grease living rent free on top of your soup.
