An American amateur chef has infuriated foodies on social media after suggesting the best way to make scrambled eggs is to boil them in water.
The TikTok creator, who goes by the social media handle @lilsipper, filmed a video of her using a very avante-garde method of making scrambled eggs.
In the video, amateur chef Bethany is seen pouring whisked eggs into a pan with boiling water while instructing users to 'let them cook gently' once submerged.
She described the result of the strange methodology as making 'the fluffiest scrambled eggs.'
The video showed her pouring whisked eggs into boiled water where they seem to form a big omelet in the pan before solidifying into a dripping mountain of egg.

The unusual recipe involves pouring whisked eggs into boiling water and cooking until solid
'It's almost impossible to overcook your eggs so you get the perfect eggs every time' said the user as she drained the water from her water drenched eggs.
'It's like a egg drop soup technique but you're actually making scrambled eggs.'
But while some may grimace at the TikTok creator's method, Bethany is clearly doing something right - as she has penned a cookbook and hosts a food podcast called Digest This.
She boasts 1.3 million followers on Instagram and describes her recipes as 'healthy' and designed for 'digestive health.'
The video caught the attention of social media viewers who were horrified to see the cooked eggs dripping in water.
One user joking wrote: 'Not even salt and pepper?! Who hurt you?' while another wrote 'As someone who makes scrambled eggs almost every day. this hurts me.'
A third wrote: 'Is cooking oil that expensive that you have to use water.'
'Boiled eggs scrambled unseasoned is diabolical,' a fourth quipped.

It's not the first time that bizarre methods for making eggs have put people off the otherwise popular breakfast ingredient.
Last summer, 20 million people were put off scrambled eggs from hotels after viewing a video that showed how they are made on a large scale.
Trecy La Cayenne shared a video from an unknown hotel kitchen showing a cook making 'fake' scrambled eggs from a plastic bag.
The cook is shown pulling the blue bag, containing pre-made eggs, from the freezer and poking holes in it with a bread knife.
It is then put in a microwave for an unknown amount of time, before being transferred to the oven, then being broken down and eventually finding its way into a serving container.

'This is soo nasty,' Trecy writes in the video caption.
'Unless it's fresh don't eat it,' she warned hotel goers as she showed pictures of an egg mixture being poured out of big industrial sized food bags.
For a much more palatable egg recipe, Lee Holmes, a holistic chef shared how she made the famous breakfast for the late Queen Elizabeth using some creative but delicious ingredients.
The Australian cook reportedly received the recipe from a close friend who worked as a royal chef.
The recipe included additions of nutmeg, lemon rind, and chopped kippers to make a royal standard breakfast.
