WATCH: Woman irons her bread to make toast

When there is a will, there is definitely a way. One tertiary education student showed internet users an interesting method of making it her mission, to put some toast on her menu.

The University of Cape Town (UCT) student, who uses the handle @morelifewithmo on TikTok, took to the app to show the world how she used an iron to make toast.

To get the desired result, the video @morelifewithmo posted showed a piece of bread on a dishcloth covered in foil. After gliding a hot iron on the foil-covered bread, it is then revealed that the source of food slowly starts to get golden brown.

Watch the innovative video below.

The viral video received over 400,000 views with more than 20,000 comments. Some comments were people sharing how the video reminded them of their time at school.

“Where are my boarding school gang? By the way, this is advanced, we used our exercise books.”

“This was me in primary school because we didn’t have the fancy sandwich press, and I didn’t want the toast with a line in the middle.”

More social media users shared other ways of how they navigated life through innovation.

“I remember I used to make noodles in a metal bowl using an iron as a ‘stove’ back in boarding school.”

“I used to iron my clothes with a pot of hot oil or hot water.”
