An Australian woman was forced to rush to the emergency room after a “simple” TikTok challenge went wrong, as she issues a warning about cashing in on social media trends.
Brisbane-based Bec Hardgrave recently attempted to make one of TikTok creator Logan Moffitt’s viral cucumber recipes.
Popular recipes always call for sliced cucumber, and Bec used a new mandoline to slice the vegetable.
But his plan failed when he cut off a piece of his hand.
“I told myself I wouldn’t fall victim to another trend, but here we are,” she said in the short clip.
He was shown using the mandolin and then immediately cut to a hospital bed with a bandaged hand.
“I cut my hand on that mandolin like it was a tomato,” he said.
‘Here’s a warning for everyone: I just bought that mandolin and I didn’t open the box completely, but it comes with a guard so you (don’t hurt yourself).’
Brisbane-based Bec Hardgrave recently attempted to make one of TikTok content creator Logan Moffitt’s viral cucumber recipes.
Bec was unable to receive stitches because her wound is too wide, so she will have to wear a protective covering on her hand until it heals.
If you’re trying to make a similar recipe at home, be sure to be careful with sharp blades and stay aware of your surroundings.
What is the viral cucumber recipe and how can I try it?
TikTok chef Logan Moffitt is famous for his “cucumber of the day” recipes.
“Sometimes you need to eat a whole cucumber, and I’m going to show you the best way to do that,” he says before revealing a new recipe in each video.
The recipes are simple and perfect if you need to prepare a low-budget lunch or dinner for the week.
Logan’s ‘sushi cucumber’ recently went viral with millions eager to try his other dishes.
To make the cucumber sushi platter, you will need a sliced cucumber, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, wasabi, grated ginger, and Kewpie mayonnaise.
Simply place the sliced cucumber into a lunch box or jar and then add the other ingredients to taste.
Popular recipes always call for sliced cucumber, and Bec used a brand new mandoline instead of slicing the vegetable herself.
“I’m going to make this salmon sushi, so I have some smoked salmon,” Logan said.
You can also substitute the salmon with any other ingredient according to your diet, such as firm tofu.
“I’m just going to cut it into small pieces and put it with the cucumber,” she added before sprinkling on MSG and furikake, which is made up of toasted sesame seeds, nori, salt and sugar.
Next, place the lid on and shake the ingredients well to make sure the cucumber is coated with the homemade dressing.
The chef described the dish as “a bomb” and said he was ecstatic about the successful – and simple – recipe.
