A mum says she suffered the most "excruciating" pain of her life after her attempt at a TikTok cooking hack left her with burns to her face.
Shafia Bashir was attempting to poach an egg in the microwave when the boiling water exploded in her face as she placed a cold spoon in to fetch it out.
The explosion sent her to the kitchen sink where she immediately splashed her face in cold water in an attempt to mitigate the burn, before rushing to A&E.
