A woman has taken to social media to share how she cooks her bacon extra crispy every time with a simple but ‘game-changing’ hack.
When it comes to cooking bacon, most meat eaters leave it sizzling long enough so the fatty edges crisp up.
But one woman claims there’s an easier way to achieve this than to risk burning your bacon by cooking it a few minutes too long.
Sharing her little-known trick on social media in response to the thread ‘What is your cooking hack that is second nature to you but actually pretty unknown?’, she explained how she uses flour when cooking bacon.
She said: “I dust flour on bacon first to prevent curling and it makes it extra crispy.”
But this isn’t the only cooking hack up her sleeve as she also shared her trick to make easy-to-flip pancakes. She added: “I replace a small amount of the milk in the pancake batter with heavy whipping cream to help make the batter way more manageable when cooking/flipping Also smoother end result.”

What is your cooking hack that is second nature to you but actually pretty unknown?

While most users thanked her for her hacks, others shared their own cooking tricks – everything from caramelising onions to making scrambled eggs. One user said: “Whenever I need to caramelise onions I always add water to the pan and cover with a lid to steam the onions first. Eventually, the water cooks off and you’re left with very soft onions which saves you like 20 minutes for a big batch.”
Another user added: “Adding a little cornstarch when I’m whisking eggs for scrambling. Makes them super fluffy.” A third user said: “Not sure how common this is, but my mother-in-law puts a couple tablespoons of instant vanilla pudding powder in heavy cream when she makes whipped cream for desserts. It helps it keep its shape when you put leftovers in the fridge.

One more person added: “To get nice sunny side up eggs where the white on top of the yolk is cooked too, I use a little oil in the frying pan on a medium/high heat, crack in the egg, season, and once the white has started to cook I add about a tsp of water into the pan and place a lid on it, letting it cook for about a minute. The steam cooks the whites while keeping the yolk runny. Saves oil, saves you from having to flip the egg and is super quick.”
