A mom from Manchester, UK has vowed to never eat eggs again after getting horrifically burned attempting a viral TikTok hack.
Shafia Bashir (not pictured) recalled in a series of TikToks how earlier this month she was “starving” and decided to try poaching an egg in her microwave after she saw a cooking hack on the viral video app. It seemed simple — add boiling water to a mug, put an egg in it, and pop it in the microwave for a few minutes until it was completely cooked. This wasn’t the first time she’d tried the hack, and for over three years she’d successfully cooked her egg. But one small mistake turned this attempt into a kitchen nightmare…

The 37-year-old first heard of this TikTok trend over three years ago from her ex mother-in-law and never had an issue with it before:
After she finished nuking her egg, she removed the mug and used a spoon to try and get the egg out of the cup. Unfortunately the spoon she used was cold. Horrifyingly, this temperature change caused the egg and mug to EXPLODE in her face, with the cup completely shattering and covering her in boiling water. She warned her followers:
It caused her so much agony she was still in pain 12 hours later:
Shafia eventually realized she needed to go to the ER, or A&E as it’s called there:
Her skin peeled for a while after the initial injury, but thankfully she was left with no permanent damage:
Whew! As horribly painful as it was, it could have been even worse. You can see pics of Shafia and the exploded mug HERE.
Thankfully her sense of humor was untouched! She made light of the situation, adding:
Ha! What a great way to make the best out of a bad injury!
