Okay, so simply because this is a very akward question and sitting here thinking, "why would you even want to know that question", i came up with a quite rational answer. The answer is there is no specific answer on how to do it. The best advice i could give you is to actually open his mouth and take it out. Other than that, there is no other way.

GOOD LUCK!

Hamsters keep food stored in their pouches (that's why their cheeks can be big sometimes). When the food bothers them, or they want to eat it, or just don't want to carry it anymore - they spew out of their mouth.

Just put it back ita cage and wait for it to spit it out - if you’re concerned about something it stuffed wait for it to expel then remove the item(s). Don’t force them to expel or you could hurt them

It uses its front paws to rub and push the outside of the pouch, to force the food out through its mouth.

What does it mean when your hamster is hiding food in the corner of his or her cage?

That's completely normal. Also, they don't hide all of it. The hamsters put some of the food in their cheek pouches (hamsters have little pouches in their cheeks that the hamsters like to store food in for later, and they spew it back out later to eat). The stuff that the hamsters hide is food storage. Usually the hamster will just pick one corner and put it all there, but sometimes the hamsters will use the whole cage area to hide it in.
