No matter what Top Chef and MasterChef may show us, the truth is not everyone was born to cook. And it’s totally fine. We find our ways around it, from ordering in, eating out, finding happiness with a way more cooking-savvy partner, and opting for ready-mades and super easy meals a child could make.

The brave ones, however, dare to play games with their cooking talent, or rather the lack of it, and take their kitchen on a ride. Surprise, surprise! Often, cooking fails and mishaps follow, but hey, you never know if you never try. And if you never try, you never learn!

After all, it gives us the greatest gift of laughter because life is short, and if it takes a tray of burnt muffins to make us smile, so be it. Scroll down below and be sure to share our previous features with more cooking fails here and here.

Honestly, high school should have a class that's just 'adulting.' This is how to use and maintain the basic kitchen appliances, this is how to do a budget, this is how insurance works, this is how college loans work. Not every little thing, just the first few big things a new adult has to deal with.

Could have been worse. Here in Sweden a woman forgot she had stored hair spray in the oven. The explosion took out a big hole in the outer wall, a door and several windows. The evacuated neighbours wasnt happy. Luckily noone died.
