Let's be real: we can't scroll through our feeds these days without coming across a "life-changing" cooking tip. Personally, I've fallen for many viral cooking "hacks" that claim to make certain kitchen tasks easier/better. Unfortunately, not all hacks are created equal and some simply...don't work. Recently, Redditor u/Malkadork asked the r/Cooking community to share the cooking hacks they find to be overrated. Here's what home cooks had to say.

I could understand if people had to cut five hundred of them for a restaurant but, then again, they probably have a better technique than this."
2."That thing about using a can opener sideways just mangles my cans."
