Man divides internet with ‘genius’ method of cooking a fry-up

A man has gone viral on TikTok as he shared the strange method of how he cooks a fry-up, with some labelling it as ‘genius’.

TikToker Lawrence (@lawrencetiktok90) stunned followers with the rather different way he likes to make a Full English.

There’s already a huge debate around what does and doesn’t belong on the plate of a full brekky, with many who believe hash browns do not and others claiming neither do black or white puddings.

Afterall, the dish is a British staple and has been known to be the cure for many a hangover. However, we all don’t seem to disagree much over the way to put one together.

But people have been left absolutely gobsmacked at seeing how Lawrence chooses to cook his fried breakfast.

Apart from the tinned items, the rest of the food is usually fried – except those who choose to make it a little healthier and use the grill.

The usual cooking method means multiple pans are being used across the hobs at once and involves quite a bit of washing up to do.

Well, not when Lawrence cooks. He likes to pack all the ingredients into just one pan, including the tinned items – and the tins aswell by the way.

In the video he wraps his hand in a tea-towel and warns his audience: “Be careful it’s not too hot.”  He then removes the lid off the beans he describes as ‘lovely’,  and slops them out onto the plate.

Then he carefully opens the tin of plum tomatoes and scoops some out onto a plate, while using the tea towel to hold the heated tin.

If you’re not a fan of the clean up job after cooking a Full English then this hack could be the way forward. The one pan does make for less washing up and some have even called the technique ‘genius’.

Commenting on the clip, one user simply said: “That sir is genius.” While another put: “Easiest way to heat up food while camping keeping it in the tin but never thought of doing it at home.”

Someone else wrote: “Lawrence with the 200 IQ cooking move.” While someone who clearly hates doing the dishes typed: “One pan dinner, love it.” And another added: “This is pure gold!”

Others weren’t as convinced by the idea, as one penned: “Hazardous.” And someone commented: “The tea towel dipping into the food upset me more than the tins on the pan.”

Another asked: “How do you know that the tin is hygienic to be on the pan with the other food (sorry I’m a bit ocd).”

Completely against the idea, a fourth said: “Nah. Beans and tomatoes cooked in the can IN THE PAN is bananas.”
