Why you've been cooking bacon wrong this whole time
A popular foodie blogger has shared his secret hack to making the perfect crispy bacon.
The chef and bacon connoisseur, who posts as Flavour God on the app, revealed his trick to achieving the fried bacon and it is as simple as adding water to the pan.
In the viral video, the man poured water over his bacon before it started cooking, which ensured it was fried to perfection and didn't splutter in the pan.
"OK before you yell at your phone, hear me out," he began the video.
"Adding water to your bacon while cooking does two things: It makes crispy bacon and also keeps your bacon from splattering."
He explained you should cook over medium-high until the water fully evaporates which will leave you with delicious crispy bacon.
Most commenters were fascinated by the breakfast hack and promised to try it themselves.
"Tried this tonight. Thank you! WORKED," one person wrote.
"I seriously do this when I cook sausage patties," another said.
For those concerned about mixing oil and water, the chef added: "The water cooks off before any fat renders to liquid."
Another TikTok user suggested running the bacon under water before frying, which achieves a similar result.
