Where to start with the pasta lady. First of all she has her priorities backwards. She spent all that time with the pasta just to use store bought sauce. Second, no matter how much you grind up the pasta, it is still dried pasta. Semolina will absorb water, but dried pasta needs to be boiled. The whole thing is pointless. Great video.

she put eggs in, so no semolina, just flour

Also most dishwasher filters aren't that clean or particularly easy to clean so it's like you steamed your salmon with dirty dishwater.

[@Krossfyre]

I don't recall her conclusively proving that the time wasn't high enough though. I recall (though I could be wrong) that the temperature hits temperatures that will kill all bacteria if held long enough and it was theoretically possible that her salmon actually hit those temperatures for long enough to be safe.

[@SgtBuck01]

As a certified food safety manager if you cook salmon in your dishwasher this is a war crime

[@tylisirn]

Multiple people have tried it (using measurements of the internal temperature of the fish over time) and it is possible to do it safely. A diswasher reaches hot enough for long enough, that it barely brings a *thin* piece of salmon up to sufficient bacterial reduction according to food service guidelines to be considered pasteurized. But the effort and equipment required to ensure that you're actually doing it safely in *your* dishwasher far outweighs any possible use of this "trick". It is far less effort to just cook it normally.

[@vanitas_tusgikuni]

pasta in blender hurts me I am not even italian

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

[@philp8872]

It´s so dumb, I can´t imagine how this idea ever occured to anybody! Not only would you use wheat flour for fresh pasta with eggs, as opposed to semolina (without eggs) for spaghetti. It´s also more expensive. And I imagine sth as hard as uncooked spaghetti will grind down the knives of your blender very quickly.

[@anna9072]

Me, too. And the “pasta” she made was way too thick, it’s going to be doughy and gross. And the whole idea is insane - if you want fresh pasta start with flour or semolina, all you’re doing is adding unnecessary time and expense to what should be a (relatively) quick and simple process.

[@toriless]

I just thought of the garbage, where it belongs

[@icybones152]

[@Nacho2002b]

Regarding the first "omelette", you could point out that there is the issue of whether the bag is going to pass chemicals into the food.

[@Sevicify]

I was surprised he didn't call this out in the video, it's a serious health concern cooking food in bags without ensuring they're suitable for the given job. In the case of this particular video the chip package used definitely is not suitable for any kind of cooking.

[@kmfdmman]

The bag is a food storage bag, its already food safe on the interior. It shouldn’t pass off anything when heated either.

[@Sevicify]

@@kmfdmman It's a chip package designed to be safe at normal room temperatures, it is not designed to be safely heated especially at or past water boiling point temperature. Looking up chip packaging they use a very thin multi-layer design commonly consisting of Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP), Low-density Polyethylene (LDPE) and thermoplastic resin. Of particular interest is the LDPE which is known to leach chemicals into food and is considered stable up to 85C and has a melting point in the low 100s, definitely not something you really want to be cooking food with.

[@LouieLouie505]

Did she disinfect the outside of the bag? Who knows where it's been.

[@cwh77]

​​​@@Sevicify I really hate this method but just wanted to say - the proteins in egg denature at far lower temperatures than 85°C. It does depend on the egg but usually around 63°C (that's what I go for when poaching). Of course - just chucking it into boiling water could be extremely hazardous.

[@kingandcommoner]

You see, I've seen that "risotto" recipe before (with no parmesan thank god). Where I live we call it continental rice or french onion rice. From what i can tell, the butter ends up coating the rice, so it takes longer to absorb the liquid and cook but also retains its moisture when reheated, so it's useful for potlucks. Which means somebody took a perfectly okay casserole dish and said "I'm going to make it worse and insult a country all at once!"

[@maddal1705]

Jamie Oliver has been doing a pretty good job of making food from other countries a lot worse while insulting the countries at the same time. The Spanish people went berserk over his version of Paella. And the Jamaicans went nuts over his Jerk rice.

Wasting water and energy to bake salmon, because putting it in an oven is too god damn difficult.

[@Kyle-nm1kh]

I've made salmon in the microwave before. Takes about 7 minutes. All you do is wrap it in some good plastic wrap that's sticky on one side, sealing it in the process. It actually comes out fully cooked and doesn't even look like you microwaved it. Was taught this method by my brother, but I don't think many people would try this because of the stigma of microwaves. 1) people think it's ineffective at cooking and 2) people think it's hazardous to food. But all you need is the right method

[@migueltucabron]

Cooking something in the dishwater is an old student trick to save money. You would use the dish washer both for washing the dishes while also making food at the same time. That way you're using the water and energy that would get used anyways. Obviously this TikTok showcase with an otherwise entirely empty dishwater is stupid.

[@hngdman]

I mean, most Tiktok recipes are just people doing the dumbest thing possible for views. They don't actually cook that way for themselves or think these are good methods/recipes. I hope.

ok before you diss it, waffle irons are pretty great for making all kinds of things aside from waffles.

The other ones are pretty atrocious though - the pasta in the blender left me baffled :D

I’ve heard that waffle irons are also good for reusing the bread stuffing that Americans serve with Thanksgiving and/or Christmas dinners. People either top the resulting waffles with leftover gravy, or use them as the “bread“ for a sandwich of leftover turkey.

[@TheAsymmetrical]

The waffle-calzone seems kind of legit. I don't own a waffle maker because I keep a pretty lean kitchen (kitchen-aid being a permanent 5000kg fixture of my counter) The specific example shown looks p good for making a quick lunch for multiple folks, is still using legit ingredients and the crust doesn't look hideous (personally speaking, mileage may vary) Either way, give me some better sauce over that glopular paste she served it with, better filling and maybe some chemically induced munchies and I ain't gonna complain about it. So much of the soul of cooking is iteration, derivation and deviation. With that being said. It's a toss up between a living creature dying only be ruined & desecrated in a nasty dishwasher. OR the absolutely dryest and overcooked risotto on planet earth.

[@tigers7834]

[@saldiven2009]

OMG, the "fresh pasta out of dried pasta" thing is the most absurd thing I've ever heard in my life. It's like she honestly think that blending up the dried pasta is more convenient to just using flour. And, they ended up so freaking thick. It's more like a dumpling than pasta.

[@simonwood1260]

I firmly believe the world belongs to the next generation. I have always been the educator that was happy when the pupil became the master and so I have embraced this new way of cooking. I dry aged steak in the clothes dryer of course, then used the washing machine to sous vide. finally, the iron was the perfect way to get that crust I love on a great steak. I diced my veg by attaching each item to a firework and launching it at neighbours chicken wire fence, but had to ask for my diced carrot to be returned twice. Fortunately I live in a place large enough to swing a cat, so she because a salad spinner and loved every moment. 🙂(OMG your face was priceless as you saw how crazy these things are).

The obvious problem with the pizza waffles to me is that a waffle lacks the space for any meaningful sized pocket of filling. There is a device that would give a more pleasing result and is readily available, which is one of those sandwich toasters that crimp the edges. But a waffle iron is surely really very suboptimal for the job. The garlic gadget seems superfluous but I can kind of imagine it could be useful to someone with arthritis or something.

[@JoannaHammond]

I would also guess that the dough would be rock hard as it doesn't have any room to expand.

[@Karras353]

@@JoannaHammond You might be right and even having suggested it I do find myself second guessing if you could get a good result with unbaked dough in the sandwich toaster either. There is probably a good reason why you don't commonly see people trying. If the dough is thin enough though, I'm not certain how much of a problem expansion would be. You can get some ultra thin pizza bases that do not really rise much during baking, other than around the crust. Maybe there is a chance it would be more crispy than hard? I'm not sure. I do bake bread semi-regularly but I cannot say as I feel especially compelled to test this.

I have a stuffed waffle maker that flips over to cook both side evenly. You can stuff things in it, but you're right, the stuffing can't be too much, and even stuffed it makes for something that's best to dip in a sauce or top with something. However, it actually does make for a good pizza base when stuffed with typical pizza fillings and when the "dough" has finely chopped pepperoni inside it.

[@kirstinmckeown3581]

I think the dangerous ones (fork to push down the pasta in the blender while it's running, greasy food in the toaster) should automatically qualify as worst, but with the risotto, every time you said risotto, my brain said "that's not risotto, that's sadness in a pan!" I think the "risotto" would have been incredibly salty, too, those canned soups are supposed to be diluted with water, and even then the sodium levels are impressive. Then the butter (she's most likely using salted), and the cheese. Ouch!

I've actually cooked frozen pizzas in the toaster before back when I didn't have any other cooking appliances. Of course I flipped it on it's side and used it like a toaster over and made sure to only use those tiny, cheap pizzas so the cheese wouldn't stick. Worked in a pinch!

I have been experimenting with induction, it is not bad but merely a sublimental technique

Connect two wires to the pan you're using and cook the food via electrical discharge /j

Most of these TikTok posts feel like they were made to shock, cringe and anger anyone who has a passion for food. Whether it is love of eating it or making it. There's no way they are doing things that would give health inspectors a stroke unless it some form of trolling.

Suggestion: Make Arequipe or Manjar blanco! We love that treat here in Colombia 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴

[@bigWazaa]

ok, now it is funny, cause I read manjar blanco and I think about "menjar blanc", a dessert from my city, Reus, in Catalonia. But when I search Manjar blanco it seems something a little different. I need him to do both desserts, now.

Buffet eggs are indeed disgusting. Rubbery and under-salted. I also hate cleaning waffle irons. I stopped using ingredients like chocolate chips or blueberries because it makes the iron harder to clean.

[@daphnepearce9411]

I'm embarrassed to admit that I bought one of those garlic chopper things. And yes, it took me longer to clean that useless gadget. I agree with James, just use a chefs knife and a cutting board to chop garlic.

[@jakx2ob]

Aren't garlic presses fairly common. I don't like cutting garlic on a board since the board can take on the flavour. My grandma would yell at me if I cut onions or garlic on a cutting board other than the onion board.

[@daphnepearce9411]

I have a garlic press as well, but I hardly use it. If you keep your cutting board sanitized after cutting garlic or onions on it ,then you'll be fine. I use separate(dishwasher safe)cutting boards for produce and meats. I give them a good rinse and toss them in the dishwasher. Then they're nice and clean. No oder!

[@jakx2ob]

@@daphnepearce9411 I'm a garlic press believer. There was a moment when all the cooking influencers said to just cut rather than smash your garlic to keep the flavour inside and to prevent the garlic from oxidising but now they are all smashing the garlic before cutting to release more flavour and making it easier to cut I feel like it was all a sham and I might as well use the press if I'm immediately incorporating the garlic.

[@daphnepearce9411]

@jakx2ob Sounds good, yes I remember when garlic presses were used often in cooking videos. I still prefer my good ol (sharp)chefs knife for garlic. In fact it's my favorite kitchen gadget.

[@daze1945]

Everyone knows oil will float on the top of the water and so will never stop pasta from sticking. 🤣

[@ballagh]

The wet burger in the toaster gave me a flashback to a trick that was done in dodgy seaside fast-food places 30 or more years ago. I’ve seen it both on the north coast of Ireland and the south of England (Portrush, Brighton and Margate to be exact). Burgers were cooked off before the rush and stored in buckets of water. When they were thrown on the hot plate they steamed rather than drying out giving a really nice moist texture. The clientele was basically drunk, fresh out of pubs or clubs so salt, sauce and the smell of fried onions were the only relevant flavours. It actually worked as long as you didn’t think hard about it.

[@abhisheksa3212]

Watching these TikTok food hacks is like witnessing a culinary disaster in slow motion! It's a recipe for disaster, with a sprinkle of 'oh no they didn't!' on top. Bon appétit...or should I say, bon 'what were they thinking?'

Tricks are supposed to be convenient and still get you to the right destination. Also, the sheer disgust on your face when the guy rinsed that burger patty was priceless
