Testing Chefs Unconventional Tips

In this video I’m testing a selection of chefs’ unconventional cooking tips to see how well they actually work in a normal home kitchen. Some come from very well-known chefs, others sound a bit odd on paper, but this isn’t about chaos. It’s curiosity from a list I started collecting!

I wanted to find out which tips genuinely improve food, which make a subtle difference, and which are probably best left to very specific situations... or not at all! From creamier scrambled eggs and less bitter onions, to neon-bright soup and a surprisingly good banana smoothie, this was a proper hands-on test to see if these chef tricks are worth trying at home.
