I’m trolled for cooking eggs on my wax melter – but it’s saving me loads of money on gas | The Sun

HOW do you like your eggs in the morning? While most would prefer cooking breakfast on the hob, one quirky TikTok user has divided followers with her alternative technique. 

Instead of grabbing a frying pan from the kitchen cupboard, savvy mum Chrissy uses her wax melter to make her eggs.

She’s gone viral for her strange hack, which involves cracking an egg into a wax melter and allowing the tea light to work its magic. 

But don’t worry – she’s not used her melter to fragrance her home. It seems Chrissy has bought a clean one in order to do her quirky cooking safely. 

Over 1.6million people have watched her nine-second TikTok clip, which she captions: “When you want a little snack without spending £££ on gas…” 

In the short video, Chrissy is seen carefully cracking an egg into a clean wax melter. She then lights a tealight and places it underneath.

As the heat begins to cook the egg, Chrissy uses a small spatula to stop it sticking. Once it’s cooked to her liking, she scoops the egg from the wax melter and places it on top of a slice of seeded bread.

Chrissy adds: “It took about 10 years to cook but at least it was cheap,” and used the hashtags #lifehack #mumtok and #FlexEveryAngle.

Her technique received mixed reviews, with one impressed viewer commenting: “This is genius, game changer for me.”

Chrissy replied: “So pleased. Just buy another wax burner and cook an hour before you want it and it’s amazing.”

Others were less keen on the idea. Some had concerns about the taste, while others worried about food poisoning. 

“What flavour is the egg ? Lavender?” asked one bemused follower. Another observed: “Interesting but I like my eggs cooked.”
