50 Times People Failed In The Kitchen So Badly, They Just Had To Share Pics Online (New Pics)
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.

My 20-Year-Old Cousin Got His Own Apartment And It's Going Pretty Well
Kylie Mountain 2 years ago
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.

I appreciate looking at these. Being a human is hard and seeing other people go through frustrating things is comforting.

I especially feel bad for the people with things randomly breaking. It's bad enough losing food you wanted through your own mistake but standing there looking at it thinking - but I didn't do anything wrong - is painful. Also these pictures are a reminder of what I mean when I say to someone I'm getting take out or making a sandwich because I can't be trusted around appliances. I have CFS and long covid and deal with a lot of brain fuzz. Some days burnt food or burnt me are the only results that are going to happen and I've learnt to recognise that and ban myself from cooking on those days.

My grandmother tried making some chutney or aachar (not too sure) and the whole container exploded and sent delicious red goop onto the ceiling fan that was moving. Now there’s a huge stain on the ceiling that won’t come off

I was raised very differently and frugally so I would definitely still be eating the food if the cooking glass exploded into larger shards, I would just take them out- the millions of pieces ones would reluctantly be binned. Mouldy food, I cut the mould away and carry on. I ignore best by dates too. I'm still alive. The only time I ever had food poisoning was from someone elses cooking (a takeaway at that.)

I'm 70; learned to cook and bake when I was 8. The sheer number of mistakes made over the decades could fill an entire book of comedic events in the kitchen!
