Mum left with horrific burns after TikTok poached eggs hack goes wrong
A MUM suffered horrific burns when an egg she cooked in the microwave exploded in her face.
Shafia Bashir, 37, raced to hospital in agony after her skin peeled off.
She was injured using a popular poaching hack shared tens of thousands of times on TikTok.
Shafia cracked her egg into a mug of boiling water then popped it into the microwave for a couple of minutes.
She said: “As soon as I put the cold spoon in, it exploded like a fountain and it scalded me.
“It was the most excruciating pain in my life. It exploded my mug too.”
Weeks later Shafia, of Bolton, said: “My face has healed with no scars.
“I just don’t want anyone else going through that, because it is trending on TikTok as now.”
The British Medical Journal has previously warned that microwaved eggs may exploding.
