Unbelievable! This woman is using a TAMPON for cooking—sparking heated reactions!

A woman recently caused a stir on social media with an odd cooking trick.

Victoria, known for regularly sharing cleaning and household advice, posted a controversial hack she uses when cooking ground meat.


Anyone with experience cooking ground meat knows that it does have the tendency to be very oily, which, in turn, has given birth to many tricks to get the excess oil off.

However, Victoria’s method for removing fat from ground meat caught many off guard.

In a video clip, the twist came when Victoria introduced two unexpected items to the pan with the sizzling meat: tampons.

‘They’ll absorb all the fat!’ she said as the tampons started to expand from absorbing the meat juices.

As the meat sizzled on the stove, Victoria added seasonings and mixed it well.

Her unconventional method has garnered over 3.4 million views online, with thousands chiming in on the video—many horrified by what they witnessed.

‘But the chemicals in the cotton,’ pointed out one sceptical viewer.

‘Why not use a paper towel, napkin, or even tissue?’ another proposed.


Some felt the video reinforced their preference to avoid meals made by others, while a few were surprisingly impressed by the appearance of the used tampons.

‘K, but why do the tampons look scrumptious, now like they look like toasted marshmallows,’ joked another user.

‘Looks like it absorbed all the flavour too...looks dry.’

‘Okay, but why do the tampons look more appetising,’ laughed another. ‘They’re seared to perfection.’


According to the National Library of Medicine, tampons may expose users to chemicals.

Many tampons are made from cotton or rayon, a semi-synthetic fibre derived from wood pulp, valued for its absorbency.

Recent studies suggest that menstrual products may contain chemicals associated with fertility issues, thyroid problems, and cancer.

Approximately 300 million tampons are sold annually in Australia.

A study by the University of Notre Dame found that although the tampons tested were free from PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, alternatively known as ‘forever chemicals’), these chemicals were detected in some of the product's plastic wrappers and applicators.


PFAS, synthetic compounds known to linger in the body, are linked to health concerns, including infertility, high blood pressure in pregnancy, child developmental delays, and compromised immunity.

That’s nauseating😹
 
Pardon the stu
Absolutely rediculous
Anything for attention
For a story
Don’t buy a fatty ground beef
Secondly
That’s why we have kitchen paper
Take ur pan off the heat
Tip on an angle
Press in a few sheets of kitchen paper and toss
Redo until ur happy with fat removal
Not rocket science

THAT is bloody DISGUSTING!!!! I wouldn't eat at her place!

My mum always told me NEVER use the things as they cause a LOT of problems - Cancer through to infections from being up there for hours and some can even get 'Lost' there - UGH YUCK!!! Not to forget the chemicals in them!

So i never used the HERE KITTY KITTIES and i certainly wouldn't use them to soak up cooking fats/juices.
(giggled at the ad when it was on though)

I don't think that I'll ever be the same when cooking minced beef for a meal... I used to enjoy
cooking up a beef lasagna every week......after reading about her story I'm not so keen anymore
so I think that I'll only cook my lasagna maybe once a month from now on. 😉
