Woman causes indignation about the bizarre method for frying an egg that she has ‘learned from an Italian grandmother’

A woman led to controversy after she has revealed that she uses cucumber water to bake an egg.

The Tap User who goes on the handle @jana.dvll on the platform for sharing videos recently posted a video in which she uses a cucumber instead of oil.

The influencer based in Germany claimed in her video caption that she learned about the oil alternative of an unnamed ‘Italian grandmother’.

In her video, which has been viewed more than 16.8 million times on Tiktok, Jana rubs the end of a whole cucumber directly on the bottom of her frying pan on the stove.

She then bursts an egg right into the pan. The clip then cuts to a fully boiled egg in the frying pan, with Jana who looked surprised that the ‘hack’ worked.

She picks up her phone and exchanges the camera to film herself carefully to scrape and lift the egg from the frying pan before it is transferred to a piece of toast on a plate.

Jana then turns the camera back to the frying pan, which is completely oil -free and clean, except for a few egg remains.

In text about the video she wrote: “Learned this from an Italian grandmother and will never do it with oil again.”

Her video capture was: “That was so smooth what?”

Jana’s cooking tip was clearly popular, with almost two million likes and thousands of reactions on social media, but not everyone is convinced.

Many viewers were skeptical about whether it was the cucumber who helped the egg to cook without sticking – or whether it was actually the anti -stick frying pan that Jana used.

“You use an anti-stick pan, hope this helps,” noted a tap user.

Another added: “It is an anti-stick pan, of course you could have literally not used anything and it would not stick.”

A third challenged: “Do it on a stainless steel pan and then I will be convinced.”

Others doubted Jana’s claim that the hack of an Italian came, with various Italian Tiktok users who came in.

“My Nonna would hit my A ** if I didn’t use the olive oil from our garden in Sicilia,” a person wrote.

“And I understand why! Because it tastes 1000 times better and it is healthy if you don’t use too much. ‘

Another said: “Like an Italian, absolutely not. No Italian grandmother would replace oil. ‘

A user went even further and said they showed the video to their Italian grandmother, who “shouted that this was offensive.”

A fourth person joked that their Italian grandparents ‘could turn into their graves while I was looking at it’.

Some people were worried that Jana’s video meant that more people shuns the use of cooking oil from concern about their health.

It comes in the midst of fear of seed oil among Americans, after the American health secretary Robert F Kennedy claimed that these types of oils ‘poison’ and so -called health influences have denounced them on the basis of vegetables.

But Kennedy JR does not call for people to use less oil or no oil – instead, he has urged Americans to use it when they cook.

‘Oil is healthy. I don’t understand why people are so afraid of it, “a tapping toker has commented on Jana’s video.

The clip was also shared on X, formerly Twitter, where a person said: ‘Oil does much more for both taste and the cooking process than just preventing things from sticking.

‘I beg [someone] To do this with a pig’s head or mushrooms and let me know how it tastes. ‘

“I really wanted people to understand that a dose of oil is fine and healthy,” a third added.

However, the influencer made it clear that she has nothing against oil and simply shared what she had learned. “I like oil. But it’s a nice hack. Don’t worry. “

In response to a comment that there are fewer calories with her hack, Jana also clarified that she still uses oil to cook and was not interested in maintaining a calorie deficiency.

“It was actually just a hack that I wanted to try. I still use oil because it is healthy and we need it. ‘

According to research, the use of vegetable oils – such as olive, avocado, sunflower, Canola, corn and grape seed – is linked to better health results.

A 30-year study of more than 200,000 adults conducted by researchers from Harvard University showed that people cook with This type of oil instead of butter was less likely to die from any causeIncluding cancer and heart conditions.

The researchers were ‘surprised’ to find that the exchange of less than a tablespoon of butter for the same amount of oil reduced the total risk of death by 17 percent, which the team called ‘a rather enormous effect on health’.

They suggested that this could be because seed oils are lower than butter in saturated fat, which is linked to an increased risk of heart attack, stroke and some cancer forms.

Although it is unlikely that there would be a health benefit to use a cucumber instead of oil to cook, the mild-smavorous vegetables became a surprising favorite among Tiktok users thanks to recipes shared by Canadian Content Creator Logan Moffitt.
