Honey is a must-have ingredient in any home chef’s kitchen. Not only is it deliciously sweet, but it’s an extremely versatile ingredient that makes a great addition to a wide range of sweet and savory dishes. To make the most out of your honey, try these brilliantly simple honey hacks. These hacks make storing, measuring, and cooking with honey so easy!

Tools: 

Honey Hack 1: Revitalize Crystallized Honey By Heating It Up

If your honey has crystallized, don’t throw it out! Instead, simply apply some heat. Bring a pot of water to a boil, then place your glass honey jar in the pot. Once the honey liquifies, remove it from the pot and enjoy!

Honey Hack 2: Store Honey in a Cupcake Liner To Minimize Mess

Honey is certainly a sweet treat, but it can also be fairly messy. To avoid mess, store your honey container in a cupcake liner. That way, if any honey drips out of the container, the cupcake liner will be there to catch it.

Honey Hack 3: Measure Honey Without Dirtying Your Measuring Spoons

Honey is sticky and viscous, which means it can be hard to measure. If you’ve ever struggled to pour honey out of a measuring spoon, this little trick is for you. Instead of pouring honey into the spoon directly, place the spoon in your bowl of dry ingredients to create an indentation. Then, pour the honey directly into the indentation to measure it. You’ll get a perfect measurement without dirtying your measuring spoon!

Honey Hack 4: Make Delicious Honey Butter

This delicious honey butter is a great addition to a wide range of sweet treats! To make it, just mix one stick of room temperature butter, ¼ cup of honey, and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon in a bowl. Once the ingredients are light, fluffy, and fully incorporated, your honey butter is ready to enjoy!
