Chef reveals game-changing kitchen hack to revive tin foil's freshness

Renowned chef Robbie Bell, currently the proprietor of City Larder Charcuterie in Australia, recently took to TikTok to share a genius kitchen hack with his impressive following of 537,000.

Robbie, who hails from Britain and now oversees Melbourne's City Larder Charcuterie as the head Charcutier, provided a solution to the common issue of tangled tin foil, courtesy of his colleague chef Shaun Hurrell. He begins the video by sharing, "This is one of the best kitchen hacks I've ever been shown. If your tin foil ever gets knotted up, take a little bit off and rub it on the part where it overlapped or isn't working properly."

He continues, "It'll all come away and then just unroll the tin foil as if it was brand new. You're welcome."

Since its upload, the clip has amassed over four million views, and aspiring cooks flocked to the comments section to express their gratitude for the invaluable advice. One TikTok user exclaimed, "You have no idea how useful this is to me."

Another enthused, "Did not know I needed this until now. Great tip!" While a third chimed in with, "Wow, I always get annoyed and chuck it; thank you." A fourth viewer admitted, "So strange this is on my feed. Had this problem last night, got about 2 meters left."

Ever since relocating to Australia in 2008 alongside his wife, Rebecca, Robbie has gained viral popularity in recent years on TikTok, accumulating an impressive 9.3 million 'likes' on his videos to date.

According to City Larder's website, Robbie is also "passionate about cooking, feeding, and discovering incredible ingredients." He is described as a charismatic, lovable character who advocates for and showcases Australia's remarkable food industry.

Additionally, Robbie finds time to host the Cooking the Books hospitality podcast, entertaining listeners with captivating stories and journeys of interesting individuals from Australia's food industry. His most-watched tutorial to date, demonstrating how to effortlessly create a "classic one-handed Roche," has been viewed a staggering 11.4 million times.
