Hi I am Ann Reardon, How to Cook That is my youtube channel it is filled with crazy sweet creations made just for you. This week we are debunking viral Tik Tok and facebook videos that have been sent in to me. Fake food videos seem to be on the rise because they re being rewarded by the platforms with views. In this episode lets look at does Pepsi make worm parasites come out of pork? Can you dice strawberry with razor blades? Can you make pear jelly using lemonade? Does storing strawberries in a jar make them last longer? Can you cook steak in a toaster? Join me for food science, creative cakes, chocolate & desserts, new video every second Friday.

[@geneivemary4234]

If I get lots of very ripe strawberries from the market I cut and simmer them with sugar... cool down and put in the fridge. Lasts for weeks. Great with yoghurt and smoothies. I've been keeping all my fruit and vegetables in glass jars for years. Much better than plastic. I'm no scientist but I believe the glass gets and stays colder. Keeping stuff fresher for longer. No plastic!

[@yayalucia7997]

@@geneivemary4234 I think it's cus glass is so solid. It has no give, no bend, so once it is closed and sealed, it's airtight. Plastic has give. And it honestly doesn't matter how much give plastic has or not if you keep your fruits in the containers they come in, with all the holes. They have those holes to keep them fresh and misted in the grocery store, but they immediately work in the opposite way when you take them home cus now those holes no longer keep your fruit fresh but they make them age super quick in the fridge. Glass jars are the best way to go

[@JasmineFaith]

@@EmilyLennoxchannel I’d like to think that they brought the oranges in after paying for them, but that’s wishful. As for doing it in a store, it’s to fool people and make it seem more legitimate. Filming in store means there’s people in the background that aren’t a part of your script. People are getting wise to these stupid fake videos, and if you film at home in a ‘studio esque’ setting, it’s easier to cut the footage to look legit, and we’re all getting more sceptical about that now.

Hi-ho all!✨🤗✨ Ms Reardon (Mrs. Reardon? - love how you "force" hubby to be your guinea pig - hee hee), I want you to know that this-here 70+ years "Old-fart" started following your channel a few months back. As I was searching about for things I might be interested in here on 'You Tube', I saw THIS video I am now commenting on. Well, as soon as I saw the info regarding your 'new' cookbook, PLUS THE CONTEST, I went to Amazon to get the book. I just LOVE getting cookbooks from folks I truly admire and trust regarding the info shared by them, and YOU are one of THE BEST! Sadly for yours truly here, I found the contest WAY over already (CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS - YEA YOU! 😁). But honestly, as much as I can use a nice set of knives in the kitchen (I wore mine out a while back and just can't aford the money for a GOOD set; heck, not even ONE of the better Chef's Knives out there. sigh But I truly mostly just care that I FOUND your wonderful cookbook. YEA ME! Any who, I can just keep sharpenning my trusty 'RADA' knives my mama gave me about thirty years ago... lol. I have the bread, paring and what I think is a boneing knife. WOW! All three have been sharpenned SO much that about HALF of what was there in front of the handles is gone!!! 🤣 Well, the bread knife is almost all there still. This channel is like a bright light shining the way to truthfulness for me. THANK YOU SO MUCH for what you bring to my video absorbing brain!!! You and your hubby are THE BEST. Wishing you all the best from across 'the pond', from here in Adams, MA. Oh, I have gotten SEVEN others to follow the channel - had to threaten two of 'em. ;-)

[@ThatFoxxoLeo]

Also not only that, but shaking it around in a container is more likely to just smash the strawberry rather than miraculously and perfectly pushing a razor blade in that somehow got in between the wall and the strawberry at an angle around 90 degrees. It'd be so much better to actually intentionally cut strawberries in a way you KNOW will look nice rather than shaking a container and leaving it up to chance.

Ozzie's Jar Trick also seems to work fine with cucumbers. Usually, they crumble fast in the fridge and I keep them out of it.

They don't lose much moisture at all and stay nice and fresh longer, also they are very refreshing when served cold rn. I doubt you can keep them in there for 2 weeks without them getting moldy, but they don't usually survive a few days in my household anyway, so this is definitely an improvement.

[@kamui004]

Most modern countries with industrialized farming and meat industry it's pretty rare for you to get parasites in meat. In fact where I live we eat plenty of pork and years back some veterinaries working for pig farms and abattoirs were interviewed about the subject and told a funny story that in school in the parasite studies they had a hard time studying them and all were preserved samples. Any field studies and attempts to get fresh ones yielded none, all thanks to improved environment, diet, hygiene and medication for these farms.

I just want to say I really love your channel. The good hack with the strawberries in a glass container is one I told my Dad about. My Dad really loves blackberries and raspberries, and he used to just keep them in the container they came in. I noticed that the berries would often rot or grow some mold after a time. Once I told him about it we tried it out, and now the berries last much longer, he can enjoy them longer and doesn't have to buy as many as often. No matter what we keep them in sealable, glass containers. So thank you Ann Reardon. Your channel is really helping people, unlike the ones you debunk every day. Hope you keep doing these wonderful things!

Epic Gardening does a similar thing to Ann w/ these content farms and he has 3 things that make a good hack 1) cheaper than conventional methods 2) easier/faster than conventional methods 3) works for the person/space. If it's not all three than it might be a fun/cute project but it's not a 'hack' (for food you could probably swap out 'good' with 'safe')

I've been binging all the debunking videos and I don't even cook.

Debunking and giving a solution. I really like that.

[@curiousnerdkitteh]

The other day my friend asked if he could buy me a Christmas present. I don't generally like Christmas presents so he had to ask. I said there was nothing I wanted. Now I just messaged him when I realised you made a dessert book and linked him to an ebook version! I was shocked at how affordable it was! I can't wait to get my (digital) hands on it! From the free sample I see that true to form you really went all out with the details and the food science explanations! Also the fact that it has 5 stars on Google Play speaks for itself! But what did I expect from a bestseller? Well, certainly not for it to be so affordable, but even with how much work you put into everything you do you still manage to blow me away every time with your care, your thoroughness and attention to scientific micro details! You're the kind of cook the world needs, that it doesn't deserve! Thank you for all the things that you do! 💜

Also, this just keeps bugging me. That toaster hack is a full blown fire hazard. Toasters are not made to deal with fat and grease.

[@darthplagueis13]

It really isn't. Toasters aren't made for it, sure, but they are made to prevent crumbs and other things from catching fire. And fat and grease don't catch fire that easily. Sure, you can burn them, but outright igniting them is near impossible (that's one of the main reasons why candles have a wick, just turning a bunch of fat on fire really doesn't work well). Like, it's gonna be a pain in the arse to clean up a toaster after using it like that, but honestly, normal bread probably has a higher chance of causing a fire than a steak would, just because it's relatively dry and not very dense and it contains a lot of air.
