In a recent discussion sparked on a popular r/AskReddit thread, self-proclaimed food enthusiasts and everyday cooks alike came together to vent their frustrations over the internet’s most hated cooking and “food hacks.”
From the debated effectiveness of various boiled egg-peeling tricks to the questionable taste of avocado-substituted brownies, the thread was teeming with culinary confessions. Notably, the poster’s own aversion to saving vegetable scraps for broth and the underwhelming punch of store-bought herb pastes were just the tip of the iceberg.
As more users chimed in, it became clear that while the internet can be a treasure trove of innovative recipes and techniques, it also hosts a myriad of unhelpful “food hacks” that many believe should have never seen the light of day.
