Whether's it's a fully loaded sandwich or a big pancake, I've had my fair share of mishaps flipping food — or at least attempting to — in a frying pan. Luckily I stumbled upon this incredibly simple hack for flipping anything in your kitchen, and I'm still kicking myself for not thinking of it sooner.
This trick comes from Donna, a wife and mother on TikTok who goes by the username @DonnaBonnana, and her husband Patrick, who used it for making a grilled cheese sandwich. It's so easy: Instead of using the spatula to turn over the sandwich in the pan, Patrick simply holds the grilled cheese on the spatula, flips the frying pan upside-down so that it's touching the untouched side of bread, and then sets the frying pan down. So straightforward!
Pro tip: Make sure your spatula is wide enough to support your food, and always flip away from yourself for safety. Works great for seniors who find traditional flipping challenging!
Just some "food" for thought....no pun intended.
