Many of us will stick to the reliable methods and recipes we were first taught years ago for quick and easy cooking.
But every so often, we come across a small change to make to your food preparation that makes your meals taste so much better. Take breakfast for example - whacking bacon straight into pan makes a perfectly good side, but even that can be perfected.
TikTok account @thechoppedcouple has shared one of these surprising food hacks, which helps you get 'perfectly crispy bacon', writes The Mirror.
The social media users captioned the video: "Do you flour your bacon? Creates perfectly crispy bacon for BLT's, by reducing the curling!"
In the clip, viewers can see a tray of raw bacon, but before cooking it some flour can be seen sprinkled over the top.
As a result, the bacon looks incredibly crispy once it has been cooked and is placed on a piece of kitchen roll. It looks absolutely delicious and many commenters were salivating at the sight of it.
The TikTok was posted in response to a challenge in which TikTok users share a life hack or trick that has become part of their everyday life.
The video went viral and has already collected more than 3.3 million views, with thousands taking to the comments to share their thoughts.
"Wow, can't wait to try", someone praised.
Another wrote: "Okay but I'd have to use a sifter, the bumps, and lumps are killing me. It's not evenly distributed."
"Small sprinkle of brown sugar too", a keen chef commented.
The Chopped Couple responded with: "OMG. I never knew there were so many ways to make bacon! Everyone has tips. Mind blown! So many ways to trial and enjoy."
