In the viral video, Kate can be seen stuffing a raw turkey in a toilet bowl.
She added spices, an orange, onion, and celery, claiming that her method was clean because she cooked the turkey at a high temperature.
Despite having a kitchen, she chose to use her bathroom for this task, which many viewers found hard to understand.
She captioned the video: “When it’s your turn to make Thanksgiving dinner, but you don’t know what you’re doing… also don’t freak out germs are killed at 140 degrees. I cooked this at 300.”
The public backlash grew following the controversial cooking method.
The video quickly gained attention, receiving over 5,800 likes. However, it also attracted a wave of criticism.
Many people expressed their disgust and disbelief in the comments.
One user suggested that Kate should stay home for Thanksgiving, while another said the idea made them feel sick.
Comments like, “Wasting an entire turkey is diabolical,” highlighted the strong feelings many had about her cooking method.
All done to get attention and views. Completely unnecessary to do this, one user said.
A pan by any other name, the second user said.
That’s enough attention for one day, the third user commented.
The chlorinated chicken left the toilet bowl sparkling, another use joked.
Nothing more than a sad attempt at gaining more views. Obviously she can’t manage that by normal behavior. Unfollow her and make her pay, someone said.
Kate’s defense was strong and well-argued.
Kate defended her choice by stating that germs are killed at 140 degrees Fahrenheit, and she cooked the turkey at 300 degrees.
She seemed to believe that this made her method acceptable.
However, the backlash continued, with people questioning her food safety practices.
This isn’t the first time Kate has faced criticism for her cooking.
In previous posts, she demonstrated odd techniques that left her followers puzzled.
For instance, she once shared a video where she prepared chicken in a way that some considered unsafe.
In that instance, viewers were concerned about cross-contamination when she placed raw chicken in an aluminum pan without proper cleaning and seasoning.
