TikTok user Brooke shares her food tips on her account @mealsandmunchies, including recipes and cooking hacks. Her hack will help those who struggle to flip an egg do it perfectly every time.<\/p>\n
Brooke posted the “egg flip hack” and it has had a huge 116K likes on the app and attracted over 2.7K comments. In it, Brooke takes her two fried eggs which are cooked on just one side.<\/p>\n
Instead of taking a spatula and flipping the eggs, or tossing the eggs and risking breaking the yolk, Brooke has a clever solution. She took the lid from a pan and gently tipped the eggs into it, being careful not to break them.<\/p>\n
Then she turned the now empty pan upside down and put it over the lid. Then, holding the two together she carefully turned them the right way up.<\/p>\n
When she removed the lid, the eggs were perfectly flipped and not broken or damaged in any way.<\/p>\n
Some fans thanked Brooke for the intuitive tip. Sara said: “The amount of eggs we eat a week. Game changer! Thanks for sharing!”<\/p>\n
Another wrote: “Nice…some of us need all the help we can get. as for spatula, doesn’t always work.”<\/p>\n

Some, however, weren’t so impressed by the hack. Lee Hunter wrote: “Or just learn to flip an egg. That s*** ain’t rocket surgery.”<\/p>\n
The bemused original poster responded: “I\u2019m sorry did you say rocket surgery?”<\/p>\n
Another user, Fitterman, seemed to agree with the first commenter, and wrote: “If you can\u2019t flip an egg in a frying pan you need to get out of the kitchen.”<\/p>\n
A number were bemused that the cook didn’t turn to the classic kitchen implement, the spatula. One such commenter wrote: “Or I would invent an implement with a broad, flat, blunt blade, used for mixing or FLIPPING things. Especially in cooking. I would call it SPATULA.”<\/p>\n

Jake Charles Brockle said: “Lol how is that easier than just flipping it?” Bobby asked: “How is this easier than a quick flip??”<\/p>\n
But Brooke’s response made perfect sense. She responded: “You\u2019ve never unsuccessfully flipped an egg with a spatula? This is just an easy way to not mess it up.”<\/p>\n
Brooke added: “My spatula flips often break the eggs. And this doesn\u2019t.”<\/p>\n
Other home cooks suggested a different use for the lid that would help to cook the eggs. Ashley Woodfell recommended: “Just add water and put the cover over top. The steam with cook the top of the eggs.”<\/p>\n
Tahoomie suggested: “Or, pop the lid back on and add a splash of water. Seriously, try it. Cooks the top of the eggs perfectly.”<\/p>\n
Jamie added: “I just put the lid on it so I don\u2019t have to flip them\u2026”<\/p>\n
