Hey there, friends! Let's face it—we're all juggling a million things at once, so when something comes along that promises to simplify life, we're all ears. Lucky for us, the truTV series Hack My Life takes everyday problems and flips them on their head with some seriously clever (and hilarious) solutions. In an exclusive sneak peek from the mid-Season 3 premiere, airing on Tuesday, January 2 at 10 p.m. EST, we’re treated to a cooking hack that’s equal parts genius and unexpected: making an entire fish dinner—and even dessert—in a hot tub. You heard that right—hot tub cooking is a thing, and it’s about to change your life!

Hot Tub Dinner Party: The Ultimate Life Hack

Now, I know what you're thinking—how exactly does one cook in a hot tub? Well, the dynamic duo of Hack My Life, comedians Kevin Pereira and Brooke Van Poppelen, are here to show us the ropes. In this episode, they whip up shrimp cocktail, tilapia, veggies, and even peach cobbler—all while lounging in a hot tub with friends. The secret? A technique called sous vide, which is French for "under vacuum." It’s similar to poaching, but instead of a pot on the stove, you’re using the consistent heat of a hot tub to cook your meal. Genius, right?

It’s like a cooking show, but way cooler because it involves a hot tub and a side of laughter. Don’t worry, they don’t recommend soaking in the tub for the full four hours it takes to cook, but the results are definitely worth the wait!
