The Tik Tok hack that will change the way you cook bacon forever

Try this trick! - by Erin Doyle
  • 26 Apr 2021

Calling all crispy bacon lovers!

A viral bacon hack has sent home cooks into a frenzy after Tik Tok user @houseofketo’s  showed off her easy method for creating crispy bacon.

WATCH: This Tik Tok hack will change the way you cook bacon

Posting to the social media platform, @houseofketo shared a video that showed her twisting bacon into a straw-like shape before placing it on to an oven sheet pan.

“Twist your bacon, you’ll be able to get so much more bacon on your sheet pan,” the Tik Tok user advised.

“You can lay it flat after you twist it or you can touch the ends together which will make it kind of swirl around and you’ll be able to get even more bacon on your sheet pan.”

Twisty bacon has become all the rage on Tik Tok.

The next step is to season the bacon - @houseofketo suggests garlic powder and salt and pepper to taster. Chilli powder and cayenne can also be added for those who are looking for a little more kick.

The pan of bacon then goes into the oven that has been heated to 205 degrees Celsius and is cooked for around 30 to 40 minutes.

Following the posting of the hack last month, the video has been shared almost 30,000 times with many home cooks showing their own version of the recipe under the hashtag #twistedbacon.

The hack received backlash for seasoing the bacon.

But not everyone was impressed, with many followers taking to the comments section to slam the use of seasoning on bacon.

“Who puts salt on bacon?” questioned one incredulous foodie, while another added: “If you are seasoning bacon, you don’t like bacon.”

Meanwhile, another follower praised @houseofketo for the easy tip for them to try at home.

“Yet another simple idea (twirling it to make more fit) I never would have thought of on my own,” the impressed Tik Tokker wrote.

“Sometimes I wonder how I survived pre Tik Tok.”
