Chef roasted over ‘twisted’ curling iron bacon hack: ‘Game changer’

Another day, another controversial cooking hack — for when you want your bacon to be as luscious as your locks.

Yet another in a now-viral video with nearly 670,000 views.

“You know that thing you’ve been using as a hair curler all these years?” the would-be “Iron Chef” — who goes by @Twisted on TikTok — intoned in the clip. “I’m sorry to say you’ve been using it wrong. It’s actually a great way to cook bacon.”

The social media Snack-Gyver frequently posts unusual recipes and cooking techniques for his more than 1.1 million followers.

His epicurean shortcuts include everything from making favorite foods into one sandwich like a kind of fast food chimera.

In one of his more recent food tutorials, @Twisted ostensibly demonstrates how cook bacon by wrapping the strips around a sizzling curling iron.

He even declares this jailhouse-like cooking technique will be a “game changer” for home cooks stuck without a pan or an oven.

In the sizzling footage, the would-be bacon bit-wit can be seen wrapping the slabs of salted pork around the hair-sculpting utensil so it resembles something like a Neolithic twist lollipop.

He then turns it on so the bacon sizzles and bubbles away on the meat curler à la some sort of bizarro kebab.

Next up: @Twisted unravels the meaty “locks” and takes a bite, before flashing the thumbs-up sign to the camera.

However, his snack hack landed him on the social media skillet with one critic yelling “what the hell!”

“I tried this and my bacon tasted like my heat protector spray,” scoffed another, while a third snorted, “Hard pass.”

“Who cooks two pieces of bacon at a time??” wondered another detractor about the supposedly half-baked baconating method.

In another, better received cooking demonstration, @Twisted showed viewers how to prepare bacon rashers “prison”-style by griddling them with a clothing iron.

@Twister’s tutorials join a long line of TikTok snack hacks of varying popularity and efficacy, including the little-known how to jury-rig pizza in a hotel bathroom.
