Members Of This Online Community Are Debunking Cooking “Hacks”, Here Are 30 Of The Worst Ones

I mean it still tastes good, but it not a "hack" it's literally a recipe lol

When I cook dinner I often keep a bit back (some veggies or bits of meat) which I then pop in my instant Ramen lunch the next day.

I like to put in an egg and maybe some frozen corn and peas. It’s still super simple and tastes a lot better

We call it "Faux Pho": Top Ramen with grilled shrimp, garlic chili sauce, sliced green onions, fresh grated ginger, sliced green onions and fresh cilantro, served with a slice of lime. It's wonderful!

I should probably starts getting that instead of Muarchan

Oh yes, and then seeing done by a socalled influencer with nails so long it's actually gross ;P

They're trying to make it look easy. Use the bowl people. Don't be lazy.

This is why I think food from fast restaurants sometimes comes out over or under seasoned. I recently had wraps with friends and we ordered the same thing. They complained about it being too salty but mine was just right...until the last bites. I think the cook didn't season it evenly and it ruined the experience for my friends and me.

I've made one sheet pan recipes but not like that! Ewww.

Amen to this!

TikTok is hands down the dumbest social media ever, and most of it boils down to the fact it caters to youngsters both as creators and users. Very few people there have the actual skills or experience to teach or even show something properly, but they HAVE to produce content. So they make up things. Aviation "secrets"? Bulls*it. Cooking hacks? Bulls*it. Car maintenance advice? Lots of bulls*it. DYI projects? Mostly bulls*it. Dancing? Not bulls*it but let's be frank, they all look like idiots, Challenges? Bulls*it and confirmed idiots.

Great advice except for one thing missing in my kitchen ... I need the 2 Michelin star chef added! I hate cooking but love eating! :D

I wish I could show this to my husband without starting a fight. He loves to buy unitaskers like the air fryer or this weird little machine that makes breakfast sandwiches. There's too much stuff in our tiny kitchen.

Tiktok and youtube hack channels are content farms, its not actually meant to be used, just to generate mindless content

Cooking in what? Like in "I like to have pieces of yesterday's pasta in my today's steak"?

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. You could also warm up your food in a Ton-Ton I guess.

It's incredibly stupid, risky and massively energy inefficient. Want to cook at low temperature?Just buy a da*n electric pot, they are like 30$.

This has to cost more than just using an oven or stove

Ewwwwwwww So much ewwww

WHY?

I sometimes am baffeled by the so called hacks that I see on tiktok.... their sometimes so bad we just have no words to describe how stupid they are... Just think about it, a good wineglass is way to fragile to be handled as a cakeplate, chances you brake it while trying to get the piece out of it to eat it, is actually quite high. Just take a plate ffs ;)

Too young or dumb to be trusted with a knife?

so who gets the shitty cut middle pieces ?

Why would someone do that? If people want to take tiktok seriously, that's on them. I refuse to use it.

I completely know what you mean, this is just silly ;)

Ooooh, this is a good idea for people with little common sense. I bet peanut butter singles would sell. Like packages of cheese slices, but with peanut butter.

Needs to be a case study done on the person who thought this was efficient

Easy peanut butter sandwich is open jar, scoop some out with knife, spread. You can do it in the same amount of time it took me to type that.

Like, a baby can make a peanut butter sandwich. It's literally the easiest thing to make.

I use the shell

I just use my hands - I crack the shell, break it over one hand which I hold over a bowl which catches the white leaving the yolk in my palm

I don't like the texture, I just use a basic egg strainer.
