I Tested the MOST VIEWED TikTok FOOD HACKS!

Introduction

Today, I delved into some of TikTok's most viewed food hacks, starting with an unusual twist on French toast that surprisingly involves ice cream. The traditional method usually utilizes a milk and egg mixture, but this hack substitutes a whole tub of ice cream. The thick consistency provides a nice coating for the bread, and with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a drizzle of maple syrup, it gives a unique flair to this dish. The texture was fluffy, but being dessert-like, I would rate it a 7 out of 10.

Next on the list was a crispy bacon hack with 3.8 million views that suggested cooking bacon in water. The theory was that controlling the cooking process would yield evenly crisp bacon. However, after testing, I found that the bacon still curled up and some parts burnt, leading me to conclude that this hack fell short, earning a mere 3 out of 10.

The third hack involved dicing an onion more effectively and minimizing tears. Instructions indicated placing a wet paper towel next to the cutting board would lessen eye irritation. This was a game-changer. The process was straightforward, and I scored this hack a perfect 10 out of 10 for ease and effectiveness.

I also tried converting cheese slices into cheese crisps. The method was to cut the slices, poke holes in them, sprinkle salt, and bake. While it yielded a pleasant crispy cheese, the texture inside was chewy, resulting in a rating of 6 out of 10.

The food hack involving deboning chicken wings in one swift motion received considerable attention with nearly 6.5 million views. Using your mouth to pull out the bones can look odd, but it does turn wings into bite-sized nuggets. I awarded this hack 8 out of 10 for its effectiveness.

Another interesting hack tackled poaching multiple eggs at once. By swirling vinegar into boiling water and adding eggs from a measuring cup all at once, I was pleasantly surprised to find the result was a perfect poached egg. This hack garnered a fantastic 9 out of 10 score.

Marinating steak in sparkling water was next. With nearly 10 million views, the idea was to tenderize the steak. After marination and grilling, the difference was subtle, but it had a slightly juicier bite that earned it a 5 out of 10.

The Boba hack was one of the most engaging. Mixing tea with gelatin, boiling it, and then dropping it into cold oil produced a unique, softer version of Boba. Although sticky, it worked surprisingly well, earning a commendable 8 out of 10.

Next came an egg-separating method involving a garlic clove. After multiple tries, it failed to work effectively, which led to a rating of 3 out of 10. On the other hand, a potato hack designed to absorb excess salt in soup had mixed results, only slightly reducing saltiness for a score of 5 out of 10.

Among the top three hacks, I learned to use a box grater horizontally for shredding cheese. While it felt more controlled, I still preferred the old method and gave it a 7 out of 10. Finally, a method of rolling a hard-boiled egg with a knife for cutting yielded satisfying results. Meanwhile, another hack for peeling eggs with a spoon was more efficient than the traditional method, securing an 8 out of 10.

Overall, these food hacks showcase just how inventive TikTok users can be, even if not all hacks hit the mark!
