Today is a great day to remember not to believe everything you read online. This is especially true if you're swiping through social media apps like TikTok and saving the recipes for later. A lot of them might look good on camera, but they won't actually taste good.
I actually do sometimes make TikTok recipes but only by first looking up a proper recipe for it elsewhere. For example, there was a parmesan potato recipe going around that looked excellent, so I just looked up a proper recipe online, and made it that way. It's so easy and very delicious! I just don't have enough faith in the influencers who make attention-grabbing food, but I do trust the experts who write for cooking websites. As long as you follow this rule, you can make any TikTok recipe without having to sacrifice a meal.
As this person learned, you've got to be careful when trying new recipes online. Hopefully, they can teach their mom about ragebait, or videos meant to garner engagement by cooking in the worst ways possible. These videos are just meant to be flashy, they don't actually work in the real world! Unless you want a pan full of milky raw noodles combined with a scorched log of faux cheese product… don't trust the influencers without doing your research.
