Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

  1. 2:00Frying an egg over crumbled feta produces one of Rea's favorite dishes, served on a tortilla.
  2. 3:41Raw and par-boiled pasta both get tested for potato-stuffed fried tubes; neither resolves his heavy-texture complaint.
  3. 9:24A warm butter-and-sour-cream coating quickly softens the potato chips, undermining their crunch.
  4. 15:41Par-boiled onion layers become wrappers for seasoned beef and rice, baked with tomato sauce beneath parchment.
  5. 27:23Orzo baked with sausage and Boursin earns one of his highest ratings.
  6. 30:02Rea tests a revised Pringles mashed-potato method by pulsing the chips and boiling them with milk.

Feta sizzling beneath a fried egg gives Andrew Rea an early reason to take TikTok cooking seriously. Potato chips coated by hand in warm butter, sour cream and spices soon give him a reason to hesitate.

"It's been a minute and the chips are soft," he says. "I understand if people like this, it's not for me."

That gap between an appealing clip and something you actually want to eat drives "I Tested Viral TikTok Recipes," which has drawn about 670,000 views since yesterday on Binging with Babish. Rea recreates the dishes rather than stopping at a reaction, sometimes trying an alternative method before delivering his verdict.

Grace Elkus's feta fried egg, served on a tortilla, earns one of his strongest endorsements. Bayashi's deep-fried pasta tubes stuffed with mashed potatoes fare less well. Rea tests both raw and par-boiled pasta, but neither version solves his complaint about the heavy, starchy mouthful.

The episode isn't a blanket dismissal of viral food. He enjoys a sprinkle-topped Dot Cake assembled from boxed cake and frosting, and approves of Buse Zeynep's onion layers wrapped around seasoned beef and rice. A baked orzo dish with sausage and Boursin joins the feta egg among his favorites.

Elsewhere, the experiments get messier: melted chocolate goes into a Pringles can, and chips become an improvised mashed-potato base. The video includes sponsor segments, separate from the cooking tests.

In the comments, some viewers want a follow-up that turns questionable recipes into better ones; others trade practical suggestions about frying pasta and handling parchment. Rea already takes a small step in that direction here, pulsing and boiling the Pringles with milk rather than simply accepting the original method.
