Does anyone actually learn to cook from TikTok? Maybe I am just too old for it, but the “food hacks” that go viral on the video app seem designed more to make you gasp than to cook better. Snickles! (A dill pickle with a candy bar inside). Twisted bacon! (Just like regular bacon but twirled up like a ribbon). Pancake cereal! (A multitude of tiny pancakes put in a bowl for no apparent reason). TikTok food videos can seem pointless at best (Oreo sushi, anyone?) and actively misleading at worst.
