Woman divides opinion as she reveals her ‘genius’ hack for cooking pasta during a power cut
A WOMAN has shared her unusual method of cooking pasta when there’s a power cut – and it’s left people in hysterics.
Chrissy J took to TikTok to share her ‘survival’ hack where she cooked pasta using a wax burner – and many have hailed it ‘genius’ but some are less than impressed.
Chrissy decided to get creative when she allegedly experienced a power cut but needed something to eat.
Not being able to use her hob to cook herself some pasta, she took to her wax burner for a little help.
Usually a wax burner is used for melting scented wax with a tealight underneath, to keep your home smelling fresh.
However, Chrissy ditched the fresh wax melt scents in favour of cooking herself some tomato and cheese pasta instead.
