Woman suffers \u2018agonizing\u2019 burns after TikTok hack goes wrong In early 2021, a woman on TikTok went viral for her seemingly ingenious method of creating poached eggs in a microwave. In the video, which has accrued over a million views, she simply cracked an egg inside a mug of boiling water with vinegar and microwaved it on high for one minute. The method quickly went viral, with people all over the internet racing to try the poached egg method for themselves. However, some also took the experiment too far, with a few users placing a whole, uncooked egg in the microwave to explosive results. Unfortunately, the poached egg trick doesn\u2019t always have a perfect outcome. 37-year-old mom of one, Shafia Bashir, suffered major burns on her face after trying out the cooking hack when the egg exploded on her skin. Bashir says she attempted to take out the piping hot egg with a cold spoon when it splattered all over her face. \u201cI did it exactly the same as I usually do it,\u201d she said in a statement to SWNS. \u201cI had already made the toast, I was starving!\u201d Bashir was rushed to the emergency room, where she was subsequently treated for her burns. Luckily, there was no scarring and her skin has already fully healed over \u2014 but the incident left her horrified. \u201cIt was a terrifying time for me,\u201d she said of the ordeal. \u201cI was in absolute agony.\u201d Bashir isn\u2019t the only person to have suffered scorches from the TikTok poached egg method; back in July 2021, another woman also suffered facial burns after attempting to poach an egg in a microwave when it similarly exploded. This news comes after a 13-year-old boy received third and second-degree burns all over his torso after attempting a TikTok challenge that involved lighting spray paint on fire earlier this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
