TikToker slammed for using tampons in bizarre cooking \u2018hack\u2019 TikTok: victorias.wayA TikToker is coming under fire for using tampons in a bizarre cooking \u2018hack\u2019 that netizens think is just too over-the-top for the task at hand. \u2018Foodtok\u2019 is one of the more popular corners of TikTok, where folks go to upload their culinary creations and get advice from other foodies about their own cooking, or to simply show off a delicious meal they had at a restaurant. While foodtok is generally a positive space for people to share their creativity with each other, one TikToker\u2019s method for dealing with excess grease just isn\u2019t sitting well with viewers. We\u2019ve all been there; when you\u2019re cooking up some ground beef or bacon, it\u2019s natural for the meat to let off some grease that accumulates in the pan. While most home cooks would simply use a paper towel to sop up the extra grease, or drain it into a mason jar to save for later, one woman\u2019s method of dealing with grease is simply unheard of. Woman uses tampons to soak up extra grease from cooking On September 21, TikTok user Victoria uploaded her special method of taking care of extra grease \u2014 by putting two tampons in the meat and letting the material soak up the moisture. Although the tampons were completely unused, it definitely rubbed quite a few viewers the wrong way, many of whom made their thoughts on the unusual situation quite clear in the comments section. \u201cThis is exactly why I don\u2019t eat at other peoples\u2019 houses,\u201d one user wrote. Although the FDA says tampons are safe to use, others are worried about potential chemicals leaking into the meat, with another viewer writing: \u201cOh yeah\u2026 all those toxins leaching out into your food.\u201d \u201cWhat an expensive way to drain grease,\u201d another remarked. This definitely isn\u2019t the recommended way to handle grease \u2014 but it certainly gave the internet a good \u2018wtf\u2019 moment to congregate over. This is just the latest strange hack to go viral on TikTok after a user\u2019s \u2018toaster steak\u2019 shortcut caught some major flak online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
