To combat food waste, social networks are also beginning to get involved. Parents may think TikTok is just a community that throws out challenges, but it also offers some clever tricks to improve and simplify everyday life. This is different from the Blackout Challenge or the Labello Challenge, two recent dangerous challenges that have taken TikTok by storm.

Today, if you don’t want to throw away stale bread and want to preserve it properly, discover this wonderful trick revealed by one of the community users. @elise_delice reveals to us how to preserve bread so we can eat it the next day or even a few days later.
The trick is simple: moisten the piece of stale bread for a few seconds under clear water. Then put it in the oven at 180 degrees for 5 or 10 minutes, and you will have a hot and crispy bread.
If you don’t have an oven, don’t worry: this TikTok user says you can also microwave the baguette for the same result.
How does it work?
The reason this trick works so well is that the steam makes the bread soft and crispy at the same time. Just a few minutes in the oven can save you food and a lot of money.
If you don’t want to rinse with water and reheat your stale bread, there are other, more tempting options to turn your stale, stale baguette into a perfect breakfast recipe. Do you like torrijas? It is an easy way to prepare to entertain the whole family first thing in the morning. Vigorously beat the eggs with the sugar and milk. Next, soak the bread pieces in this mixture. You can then choose between two cooking methods.
On the one hand, you can fry the bread slices in the pan with butter. Simply sear each side and you’re done. On the other hand, you can bake them in the oven. Lightly grease the pan with butter and spread the bread pieces and the entire mixture on top. Bake at 180°C (thermostat 6).
If you prefer savory recipes, turn stale bread into tasty, crunchy croutons to add to a summer salad.
From now on, stop throwing away stale bread and try this super cool trick!
