We all have little cooking hacks that help make our meals "healthier." Maybe you beef up your rice with cauliflower rice or swap sour cream for Greek yogurt. Go you! But some tips go a bit too far and make what could be delicious
and healthy food into something that is barely edible, as one TikTok user learned the hard way. This week, a video showing a woman rinsing cooked ground beef went viral for, well, obvious reasons.
TikTok user Emily Harper's video starts out with her promising to teach you a healthy cooking hack she says she learned in her nutrition class. It all starts out fine with her cooking and then preparing to drain the ground beef (something we've all probably done a million times), but then things go HAYWIRE. She pours the beef into a strainer over the sink and begins to rinse it for, like, a while. All that delicious grease literally goes down the drain.
