In a clip posted to TikTok account @pepper.ph, the man claimed the hack was simple – and didn’t cost a thing.
He said cooking your bacon in water, as opposed to oil, helps get it perfectly crispy.
The foody wrote: “Cooking bacon in water? Sounds crazy, but trust us – it’s the best way to get perfectly crisp (and splatter-free) bacon.”
In the video he shows off cooking the bacon from scratch, until it ends up beautifully crunchy.
He then wrote: “In detail: After adding water, cook over medium-high until water evaporates. Then lower heat to medium to crisp up bacon.”
People rushed to the comments, saying they couldn’t wait to give it a try.
However some were dubious – and said they feared cooking bacon in water would leave it flavourless.
It comes just days after another food lover on TikTok revealed Brits had been making their mashed potatoes all wrong.
She claimed we’ve all be making a big mistake, as according to this expert, we need to stop boiling our spuds in water if we want it to be extra creamy – yes, you heard that correctly.
According to this whizz, if you want to make the best-mashed potatoes, you need to boil your potatoes in milk.
Rosie Gill, director of Milk Street Cooking School, took to social media to share her mashed potatoes recipe – leaving many open-mouthed.
She explained that it’s time to stop boiling your potatoes in water – as you’ll need to use milk instead.
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @177milkstreet, has clearly left many stunned, as it was shared just one day ago, but has quickly gone viral and has racked up a staggering 3.3 million views.
But social media users were divided at the cooking tip – while some were impressed, not everyone was as keen.
One person said: “Awesome tip! I’m married to this from now on!”
Another added: “Brilliant.”
A third commented: “Genius.”
Whilst another food fan beamed: “Great idea.”
