A Corny Hack: Woman Grills Bhutta On Toaster
Content creator and TikToker Kate Heintzelman AKA @katewilltryanything is known for her unusual hacks. This time, she touched upon a toaster hack to make grilled corn. And it’s nothing like you’d imagine! In the reel shared by Kate, first, switches on the toaster and places two corn cobs on either side. Next, The cobs are topped with rectangular slices of butter and layered with pepper, salt and seasonings.
As the corn cobs sizzle over the toast, acting as a barbeque grill, the butter melts all over the corn (and into the toaster too). Kate slowly turns the corn cobs over to cook on the other side as well. The seasoned butter is spread all over the cobs. Slowly, the cobs gain a brown hue on their side as they are cooked on the toaster. She keeps turning the corn cobs over so, they get a chargrilled look on all the sides.
