Nothing goes viral on food social media faster than an egg hack or a cucumber hack — and this time, it’s both. TikTok and Instagram are awash in videos of people rubbing a cut cucumber on a hot frying pan, dropping an egg onto it, and then easily sliding the egg right off the pan — without any oil. The one with the most views, from TikToker @jana.dvll, clocks in at over 17 million in only a little over a week.
Some American cucumbers can occasionally be much more bitter than others, though, so your mileage may vary. There are a couple of differences from an oil-fried egg, though; there are fewer overcooked bits in the white, but also maybe a little less flavor. Although the fat in the yolk does some heavy lifting, the white alone tastes bland without an oil coating to carry the flavor of added salt and pepper. Eagle-eyed readers will note there is a fourth egg.
