What makes a good test
Three things we look for.
Not every claim can be tested at home. These are the ones we love.
01
It's specific
"Salting eggplant reduces bitterness" is testable. "Eggplant is better now" is not.
02
It's safe at home
We only test things that are safe to try in a normal kitchen, home or daily routine.
03
People believe it
The best claims are ones you've heard from friends, parents or the internet many times.

Tell us the claim and where you heard it. We credit every reader idea we test.
