THE Tiktok The user who goes through the @ jana.dvll handle on the video sharing platform recently published a video in which she uses a cucumber instead of the oil.
The Germany-based influencer affirmed in her video legend that she learned the oil alternative of an unnamed “Italian grandmother”.

Jana then returns the camera to the pan, which is entirely oil and clean, except for a few remains of eggs.
In the text on the video, she wrote: “learned that from an Italian grandmother and will never do it again with the oil.”
Tiktok’s influencer, Jana, shared a “hacking” of cooking which she claimed to have learned from an “Italian grandmother” who implies using a cucumber instead of cooking oil
The creator of content based in Germany shared a clip of herself rubbing the cut end of an entire cucumber on the surface of her pan, before breaking an egg in
His video legend said: “Was it so fluid?”
Jana’s cooking advice was clearly popular, with nearly two million likes and thousands of comments on social networks, but not everyone is convinced.
Many viewers were skeptical about whether it was the cucumber that helped the egg to cook without sticking – or if it was, in fact, the non -stick pan that Jana used.
“You use a non -stick pan, I hope it helps,” said a Tiktok user.
Another added: “It is a non -stick pan, of course, you could not have literally used and that would not remain.”
A third challenged: “Do it on a stainless steel saucepan, then I will be convinced.
Others questioned Jana’s assertion that the hack came from an Italian, with several Italian users from Tiktok.
“My Nonna would mow my A ** if I do not use olive oil from our garden in Sicilia,” wrote a person.
Viewers have weighed on the video of Tiktok’s influencer, with many underlines, she used a non-stick pan and others deploring what their Italian grandmothers would say about this subject
“And I understand why!” Because he has a 1000 times better taste and he is healthy if you don’t use too much.
Another said: “As an Italian, absolutely not. No Italian grandmother would replace oil.
A user went even further and said he was showing the video to his Italian grandmother, who “shouted it was insulting”.
A fourth person joked by saying that their Italian grandparents “turned in their graves while I look at that”.
Some people feared that Jana’s video meant that more people avoid using cooking oil for the sake of their health.
It comes in the middle of the fear of seeds of seeds among the Americans, after the American secretary for health, Robert F Kennedy, said that these types of vegetable oils “poison” people and the so-called influencers of health have denounced them.
But Kennedy Jr does not call people at all that people use less oil or no oil – he rather urged Americans to use beef tallow or animal fat when they cook.
“The oil is healthy. I don’t understand why people are so afraid, ” commented a tiktker on Jana’s video.
The clip was also shared on X, formerly Twitter, where a person said: “Oil is much more for flavor and the kitchen process than just preventing things from sticking.
“I implore (someone) to do it with a pork rib or mushrooms and let me know how he tastes.”
“I really want people to understand that a dose of oil is perfectly fine and healthy,” added a third.
However, the influencer clearly indicated that she had nothing against oil and simply shared what she had learned. “I love the oil. But it’s a fun hack. Don’t worry.’
In response to a comment that there are fewer calories with her hacking, Jana also said that she still uses oil to cook and was not interested in maintaining a calorie deficit.
“It was actually just a hack that I wanted to try. I always use oil, because it is healthy and we need it.
The use of plants based on plants – such as olive, lawyer, sunflower, canola, corn and grapes – has been linked to better health results, depending on research.
A study of 30 years of more than 200,000 adults conducted by researchers from Harvard University revealed that people who cook with These types of oils instead of butter were less likely to die from any causeincluding cancer and heart disease.
The researchers were “surprised” to find exchanges less than a tablespoon of butter for the same amount of oil lowered the overall death risk of 17%, which the team called “a fairly enormous effect on health”.
They suggested that it could be due to the fact that seed oils are lower than those of butter in saturated fats, which has been linked to an increased risk of heart attack, stroke and certain forms of cancer.
Although it is unlikely that there is an advantage for health to use a cucumber instead of cooking oil, the soft flavor vegetable has become a surprising favorite among Tiktok users thanks to the recipes shared by the creator of Canadian content Logan Moffitt.
Logan’s Sliced cucumber recipes have become completely viral Last year, sharing combinations such as soy sauce, chili oil, garlic, sugar and MSG, and salmon, cream cheese and all the seasoning in Bagel.
