YouTube is filled with useful kitchen tutorials, teaching viewers everything from how to slice an onion without shedding tears, to the easiest way to peel a boiled egg.
But there’s one video which could be heading straight to the top of the ‘most useful kitchen hacks’ list.
‘How to open a bottle of beer with a sheet of paper’ was uploaded by Rhys Morgan this week, and it does exactly what it says.
So the next time you forget a bottle opener you don’t need to worry.
Mr Morgan’s method is so ludicrously simple it’s a wonder no one has thought of it before.
All you need to successfully crack open your bottle is one piece of A4 paper.
Mr Morgan who lives in Cardiff, Wales starts off by vertically folding the paper in half.
He then folds the half lengthways again, pressing firmly so the creases of the paper hold.
He keeps folding the paper in half vertically until he ends up with only a small amount of paper left.
Then he folds the remaining paper lengthways to create a ‘V’ shape from the paper.
He places the ‘V’-shaped paper against the underside of the bottle and applies pressure
And with one swift upwards move he pops the cap of the bottle, successfully releasing the drink from its bottle-topped prison.
The 21-year-old Cardiff University student said he invented the trick when he found himself at a party with bottles of beer and a broken bottle opener.
Mr Morgan said his trick will work with all types of paper, down to kitchen roll.
On his account he explained:’ Some people are pointing out that the paper looks thicker than standard paper.
‘It’s just high GSM paper printer that I happen to have at home. This trick still works fine with thinner paper, all the way down to kitchen towel.’
His video currently has more than one million views.
Do try this at home.
