You always expect something like rice to be easy to cook. After all, it’s a staple for more than 100 countries in the world. But it turns out that some people struggle with even this essential ingredient!

Rice

Thankfully, this is one of those wrongly cooked foods that one can quickly learn how to cook correctly. Or if you don’t think you can do it, do what this person did and buy a rice cooker. You’ll get perfectly cooked rice all the time!

This meal might be nice and hearty, but it takes work. Pot roast is a little complicated as it is, and many cooks need help putting a good one on the dining table. One of the biggest pot roast peeves is the toughness.

Pot Roast

Since it uses the beef’s tough cut, tenderness can make or break your dish. So know how long to slow-cook this meal to get the best out of it. But be sure to put mashed potatoes on the side, so at least something on the plate is chewable!

Everybody has a different idea of what a good mashed potato should taste like, but bland is not an adjective that anybody would want to use. The trick to a good mashed potato lies in something that has nothing to do with your cooking skills –  it’s the kind of potato you use!

Mashed Potatoes

Russet potatoes are excellent for preparing this dish, and even Yukon golds are good. Pick these up at the farmers market next time before you start prepping your Thanksgiving meals.

Undercooked is inedible, overcooked has no fat – for some, chicken breasts are one of the most complicated dishes requiring minute precision. Thankfully, there are many ways to get this protein source right!

Chicken Breast

Using a digital thermometer, aka sous vide, is one of the techniques to get it correct. Investing in a one-time gadget is much better than eating your food wrong every day.

Cookies are utter deliciousness, with recipes ranging from 3 to 13 ingredients. However, just because cookies are such a popularly made dish (even by kids), it doesn’t make them easy to prepare.

Cookies

Correct compositions and instructions can make or break your cookies, literally! Cookie making is more about the technique and the proportions you use, so stay caught up on your flavors and recipes. Learning to make the necessary cookie is the first step in perfecting the art of this childhood treat.

A basic carbonara sauce recipe uses barely five ingredients, but still, many need to learn the correct method for preparing this Italian sauce. Yes, you might love yours any which way, wrong or right, but it always helps to improve and learn the right recipe.

Carbonara Sauce

As this person generously explains, a good carbonara sauce can be prepared using two bowls instead of one. Washing an extra dish is a small price to pay for the sake of your taste buds!

Meatloaf has gained a reputation for being bland food that makes you question people who make it again and again. But this dish has the potential to be juicy and flavourful.

Meatloaf

It could be the fault of the meatloaf you had as a child that turned you away from this potentially-delicious dish. Add mashed potatoes and green peas, and you have the perfect meal ready to go!

Risotto! Just the thought of it is enough to make many people salivate. But risotto can be a big hit or a miss; there’s no in-between.

A good risotto requires cooked rice that makes your dish neither too crunchy nor too soggy. If you love your vegetarian risotto, adding diced brie instead of butter can make it creamy. So, for your next dinner date, this may be the perfect dish to make.

Browning your meat is an essential step to getting a mouth-watering taste. But just like the hare in the famous fable, shortcuts will not help you win this race!

Perfectly tender and cooked pork is genuinely mouth-watering. Add some fried apples or glazed onions on the side to make your meal all the better, and dial up the taste to 1,000.

The bane of everybody’s childhood meals, and some adults too! Broccoli is a vegetable you only appreciate as you grow older, but plain steamed broccoli isn’t everyone’s favorite. Only some attempts that you make at cooking this vegetable will be successful.

Broccoli

The most straightforward and easiest broccoli recipe is sautéing it in simple garlic, butter, and salt. Broccoli has just been the filler for many other dishes, but now the world realizes it can be a star!

There’s barely anything as delicious as a New York bagel slathered in cream cheese, all fresh and ready. But if you, sadly, can’t get to the Big Apple for a taste of it, then you can make it at home!

New York Bagels

However, getting the perfect recipe for this takes work. Like most baking, even NY bagels have a particular set of rules. The most important thing? Using malt flavor/syrup as the primary flavor.

Cheap, readily available, and easy to make – grits are genuinely the meal of the everyday man, especially in the south. But when it comes to making delicious grits, the proper steps have to be followed.

Grits

To make the right grits, cook them on a slow and low flame. Salt and butter are the only additions you need to this dish. For appropriate thickness, keep stirring and adding water. This dish is simple, sweet, and amazing to eat!

Meat, vegetables, rice – three essential food groups meeting together to make this delicious dish. But the jambalaya served outside its native place differs vastly from its authentic form.

Jambalaya

There are two ways to make jambalaya: Cajun and Creole. The Cajun way calls for the dish to be brown, while the Creole way makes for a red Jambalaya, all thanks to the tomatoes added to the dish.

It could be for two reasons you hate aubergines (eggplants) and can’t stand them in your food. Either you don’t like the vegetable, or you’ve been making them wrong all along!

Aubergines

Another great way to make aubergines is to deep-fry them, stuff them between two slices of bread, make a delicious sandwich, and scarf it down. Keep the heat steady while frying, so the vegetable is evenly cooked inside and out.

A good cappuccino, like a painting, can genuinely make you feel things. The first sip of a good cup of coffee can make your day a whole lot better. But only some people hit the right spot when making the perfect cappuccino.

Cappuccino

Even many cafés face the problem of making good coffee. But with so many coffee connoisseurs sitting at home these days, it’s getting more accessible for people to spot the good from the bad.

The trick to an excellent fried plantain is to fry them enough to ensure they don’t break when they come out of the pot. Secondly, your smashing of the plantains will also determine your result.

Fried Plantains

What you want is to have slices that are thick enough on the insides that they can beautifully compliment the crispy exteriors. Cooking them on moderate heat also helps get the sugar caramelized.

Scrambled eggs are the perfect breakfast for mornings after indulging in too many adult beverages. But getting the consistency and the taste right takes practice and the correct technique.

Scrambled Eggs

Scrambled eggs may be an easy-to-make breakfast, but patience is the key to being the king or queen of scrambled eggs. All your dates will indeed be thankful if you master this fantastic recipe!

Steaks are a complicated and debatable dish, with everybody in charge of the grill having a different opinion. Medium, rare, or well-done, grilling steaks is more about your technique than the grill you use.

Steaks

Being a fidgety griller might not help your case when you’re waiting for your steaks to be done. Get somebody to converse with while you’re waiting for them to be done to pass the time and stop you from flipping the steaks too much.

Mushrooms are dynamic – they can be steamed, grilled, sautéed, and used with almost anything. Flavoring and seasoning for these fungi are also quite varied, from a simple salt and butter combo to a more robust and flavorful style.

Mushrooms

Getting all the water out of the mushrooms makes them tastier to eat. It also allows the mushrooms to absorb the seasoning flavors much better. It’s the perfect side for all your dishes and meals!

For all those struggling to make this deliciously easy breakfast, the problem is in your batter. Hold the blueberries and strawberries, and concentrate on ensuring that your batter has a perfect consistency.

Pancakes

Ensure you don’t whip your batter so much that it turns from a thick syrup to a watery mess. For fewer lumps, use a sieve while adding your dry ingredients. This will ensure you don’t have to whip too much to remove the clumps.

Brussels sprouts have a bad reputation overall and, let’s be frank, are hated quite a lot. It turns out they’re disliked for a good reason!

Brussels Sprouts

Traditionally, American and British people have gone for boiling their Brussels sprouts, leading to their universal hate. This makes them into a mushy, soft mess. Opting for little chili flakes, garlic, and olive oil can make them your favorite dish!

A good tortilla shell is a base for a delicious taco or fajita. A too-hard shell can bring the entire experience down. Learning that you can heat store-bought tortillas was a changing point for this person.

Corn Tortillas

Also, ensure that you use fresh and crispy lettuce for your taco stuffing, as it’ll beautifully balance out your softened shell. Now, all that’s left to do is assemble and dig in!

For all those burger lovers who love to fire up a grill, here’s how you can have crispy, juicy patties every time. The trick is to flatten the patties sparingly while they’re on the grill.

Burgers

Don’t turn your patties into mush with the force of your spatula. The way you roll and shape them is good enough. A delicious burger calls for a patty full of flavor and life!

You can prepare aioli sauce at home once and use it for an entire week. But the problem with this sauce is that even though it’s made with three ingredients, it could be more laborious.

Aioli Sauce

Using a blender will not only make your consistency better but also cut down your time and effort considerably. For storage, pour your sauce into a tight-lid jar and keep it in the fridge.

You might try to fry potatoes at home, hoping for some restaurant-style crispness, but it turns out that achieving it isn’t easy! Thankfully, there’s a trick to achieving perfect fried potatoes every time.

Fried Potatoes

It might take a little extra time to prepare as opposed to what you’re used to, but the difference in the taste will be worth it. The next time you feed your guests your new potatoes, they’ll be full of good reviews of your delicious food!

You won’t take something away from all the movies you see, but sometimes you learn things that stay with you all your life. For this user, it was the correct way of making poached eggs and toast, which they learned from a film.

Poached Eggs and Toast

Soggy toast can ruin a good meal, and making it crispy doesn’t cut it. Even though this trick will help your toast stay crispier initially, it’s still best to eat your eggs and toast when it’s fresh out of the kitchen!

This Chinese dish is delicious; it’s easy and versatile – so many things are perfect about fried rice. The trick to making fried rice how it’s supposed to be is using rice prepped at least a day before.

Fried Rice

Unlike all the other dishes, fried rice requires your main ingredient, rice, to be leftover. So next time, whenever you’re trying to puzzle out what to do with your leftover rice, toss it in a pan and make fried rice!

We all know prepping your pasta requires boiling it in water with a pinch of salt. But the actual trick lies in finishing the process in the sauce itself.

Pasta

When your sauce is about to be done, toss in your pasta noodles with it to get the flavors in. Adding thoroughly cooked pasta to the sauce will make it way too soft and spongy for consumption.

A fantastic source of protein, healthy, and allowed in almost any diet – there’s barely any reason one would ever say ‘no’ to tofu. However, trying to eat your tofu plain and unseasoned is a big no-no.

Tofu

For the sake of your taste buds, use your tofu the right way. Sautéing it as you do with your veggies, cottage cheese, and your potatoes can make you love the dish.

Scallops are easy to cook but a little tricky to get right! You can cook your basic scallops in just five minutes. However, knowing when to stop cooking them to avoid overcooking is the key to a good dish.

Scallops

Scallops are mostly defined as tasting buttery and slightly sweet. The delicious taste is similar to other seafood, such as shrimp and lobster. The benefit of eating scallops also lies in their high level of protein.

Salads have been rising as one of the best meals to have. Gone are the days when salads meant boring, simple iceberg lettuce. Now, people love experimenting with a health kick, opting for various veggies, dressings, and other additions for their salad.

Salads

Finding one that suits your taste buds can be a game-changer for your meal plans. If you’re short on ideas, look up salads on TikTok, and you’ll have many sweet, salty, and spicy options.

If you’ve seen How I Met Your Mother, you know that eating bacon for the first time can be like feeling the sun on your face for the first time – truly life-changing.

Bacon

There’s hardly anything that compares to the taste of well-cooked authentic bacon. Using a microwave allows you to get some delicious bacon every single time. So if you’re ever in a hurry and craving some greasy goodness, microwave away!

Fish is one of the healthiest things you can eat. It has many benefits and is highly recommended by doctors. However, cooking fish is delicate as it has little connective tissue and fat.

Fish

A great way to check the doneness of your fish is to insert a fork or knife into the thickest part of the fish. The next time you make fish, try this and see how your guests react to the final dish.

Like all Italian dishes, one of the binding and star factors of lasagna is the kind of cheese you use. The right cheese brings the dish together and adds that last oomph factor.

Lasagna

For lasagna, cheese is a star and becomes one of the many essential layers while assembling the meal. Ricotta is the optimum choice for lasagna and enhances the dish’s flavor.

If you love chicken, you know that marinating or seasoning your chicken before grilling or baking is necessary to ensure that the flavors seep deep into your dish.

Chicken

Having your chicken marinated for anywhere from 2 to 24 hours is ideal for your chicken to be truly flavourful. But if you’re short on time, even a 20-minute marination can do the trick for smaller pieces of meat.

Like all fish, tuna also carries many benefits that are great for the body. Not only that, it’s one of the healthiest seafood varieties that you can eat. But you’re supposed to cook it only partway through.

Seared Tuna

Pan-searing your tuna is one of the safest ways to make it, and it allows you to leave the inside raw. Serve it with a side of veggies and rice for a wholesome, balanced meal!

Like other green veggies, you can prepare your asparagus in many ways, and every style will be fantastic to eat. But if your experience with asparagus has only been of the canned variety, you need to experience the adventure of eating fresh veggies.

Asparagus

The fibrous veggie makes for a great side dish for your meals. It’s healthy, and delicious, and works great paired with almost everything!

In the last couple of years, zucchini noodles have gained popularity for being a healthier option to add to your diet.

Zucchini Noodles

They’ve become a solid ingredient to anchor your salads, pasta, and noodle dishes. The versatile base can be eaten raw, mostly in salads with dressings.

You’ve probably encountered yams when sitting down for a Thanksgiving meal. But these sweet potatoes are better eaten when they’re not smothered in even more sweetness.

Yams

Like fried potatoes, yams are best consumed with salt, fresh garlic, and herbs. The seasoning makes a big difference when it comes to this side dish. For your next Thanksgiving meal, switch to this technique and watch your guests gobble this up quickly!

For every two homemakers on the internet giving you a hack to make your dishes faster, there’s one who loves to get to their end result in a much more complicated manner. One such dish that has fallen prey to this excess method of cooking is polenta.

Polenta

You can make polenta on a stovetop, but you can also get the work done in half the time in an instant pot! There’s nothing wrong with wanting to hang out in the kitchen, but adding unnecessary steps to your process doesn’t need to be the reason.

People love to mess with traditional recipes for a newer experience. Adding a twist is all good and fresh, but sometimes these fusion foods take away from the experience of eating these dishes.

Cuban Sandwich

One such dish is the Cuban sandwich, which is beautiful in its simplicity but has undergone many improvement attempts by fancy restaurants. The sandwich is perfect for meat and sandwich lovers, with layers of ham, pork, and cheese all toasted in buttery goodness.

One of the most significant flaws of restaurants preparing Asian cuisine is substituting authentic sauces for ketchup. Pad thai is one of the victims of this gross exchange.

Pad Thai

This usually happens with pad thai because tamarind, one of the main ingredients of the pad thai sauce, is less readily available in many countries and also a little pricey. On the other hand, ketchup is readily available and much cheaper.

Mac and cheese is the ultimate comfort food for most people. It’s cheesy, it’s delicious, and it’s easy to make. However, when you’re making your mac and cheese at home, there are some things that you should be careful about.

Mac and Cheese

One of the best ways to add flavor and oomph to your dish is to use a variety of cheeses. After all, there’s a reason why the word ‘cheese’ is a part of the dish’s name!

“MMMM!” to “NOOO!” Food Fails

The kitchen, as they say, is the heart of every home. After all, this is the room in your house where all that delicious food is made, giving it a special place in the heart of many. But, with all the amazing memories you might create in this room, there will be those times when your memories are not nearly as happy as we have all had them. Still, it’s always funnier when it’s someone else that ends up with those epic food fails. Here are a few of those that we hope to make you forget your own epic food fails!

No, Thank You

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, or at least that’s what we have all been taught. So, getting started with a nice one might be a great way to begin your day. However, if we saw something like this, we might reconsider.

No, Thank You

Not sure why this happened, but we know it does happen from time to time. Even still, looking down at a blood-filled egg would curb just about anyone’s appetite, right!?

One of the best things to do is to get all your ingredients together in a crockpot and head out to work for the day, knowing dinner will be waiting for you when you get home. But that’s only if your pets are well-behaved.

All for Nothing

It seems this woman’s cat was feeling a little hungry and thought no one would know if they snuck a bite. That might have been the case if they hadn’t made such a mess. We feel bad for the woman. Not only is dinner ruined, but she has quite the mess to deal with.

Having a nice cold drink while you are enjoying a ball game is always nice. Not only because it is usually pretty warm outside but because your throat will be dry from cheering on your team. But we are not sure we would be able to drink this after seeing this!

Dreads and Coke

We are sure the person isn’t even aware, but they will be when the person goes to grab that drink and gets a side of dreadlocks with it!

Having a juicy lobster tail with a thick steak is a good dinner and a perfect dish for celebrations. But lobsters can be pretty pricey, so you want to make sure you get a good one. This person probably thought they had one, but looks can be deceiving.

Surprise!

We would be so disappointed if we split that tail open only to find this spark plug laying there. How did that even get in there? We don’t want to know!

Many of us rely on those little snack packs of treats to get us through the day. Whether you choose crackers or those tasty fruit snacks, you never expect anything strange to be found in those little packs.

Contact Someone

This person who was enjoying those fruit gusher treats came across one that was pretty chewy. When they looked through, it turned out to be this contact. That is just gross!

There is nothing like a nice warm chocolate chip cookie! It brings many of us back to our youth and puts a giant smile on our faces. So when there is a new batch, you can bet that almost everyone will be in the kitchen in no time.

A Little Something Special

But if we looked down to see a fly had been baked with that cookie, we would definitely stop dead in our tracks. After all, we are sure that is not one of the ingredients, at least not the way grandma used to make them!

It can be frustrating when the insects outside make their way into your food during the warm summer months. So after weeks of dealing with an ant infestation, we can understand why this person wasn’t thinking clearly. But they should have because then they would have noticed a special surprise in their breakfast.

That’s Not Cinnamon

Though they should have known that maybe that sugary cereal would attract a few of the pests, it seems it didn’t cross their mind. But ants are a delicacy in some places, right? We are sure it’s fine!

We are sure that at least some of us have had the dubious pleasure of eating something that was so tough it felt like our jaw was going to fall off. But what was this guy eating that ended in a trip to the doctor with a dislocated jaw?

How Did You Do That?

That had to be one tough bowl of cereal! Maybe he should have looked at the expiration date because clearly, that cereal was a bit too stale!

Many people, when they get together, love to do potlucks. That means everyone brings their signature dish, and it is inevitable that one of those is going to be homemade macaroni and cheese. But, it looks like they are not going to have their macaroni and cheese after all.

Mac-n-Cheese Down!

We would be in tears after working so hard, and this happened — especially with something as yummy as homemade macaroni and cheese. All that we can do is hope they had a backup plan!

Like any project in the kitchen, it takes quite a bit of time to make a beautiful cake. If you’re doing a get-together, there is even more pressure because you want it to look amazing too! This is why we are shocked this person didn’t invest in a cake carrier.

I Didn’t Need That Cake Anyway

If they had, they wouldn’t be looking at all their hard work going down the drain! For those on a diet, though, this might be a blessing in disguise.

Most fruits and vegetables rot from the outside. So it’s easy to see when something needs to be thrown away. But if there are some unwanted tenants in the apple, it might go the opposite way.

Rotten to the Core

We would have probably thrown up if we bit into this apple and found this! At the very least, there would have been some spitting out of what we just bit into.

We all know that canned goods and boxed foods have an expiration date, But many of us never think about that this also includes the spice rack. But they have expirations too, and a bad-tasting seasoning can ruin a whole dish.

Clean Your Pantries

This poor guy found that out the hard way. The fact this pepper was so old means no one in the house has ever gone through that spice rack!

When you live in a house with multiple cooks, sometimes there are accidents because of the carelessness of the other. Things like making sure the jars are all securely sealed may seem like a bit of common sense, but it may not be for everyone!

Loose Lids Sink Meals

This meal got a little extra spicy because of this. We are sure it will still taste well, just make sure everyone has water in their glasses.

Sometimes when you are not feeling well, all you want is a bowl of hot soup. If you live on your own, that might mean you have to make it and then crawl back into bed so you can get all covered up.

Burning Man

But you have to be very careful when you do that; otherwise, you will wind up like this poor guy! No one should have to go to the doctor because of Ramen!

One epic food fail is terrible, but when it happens multiple times in a row, someone is trying to tell you something. The fact that this person tried to make pasta twice after the first one burned down shows real dedication.

No Pasta for You!

If we knew that the pot was going to break on our third pasta cooking attempt, we would be reaching for the phone, to order that pasta from someplace else of course!

Sometimes you get those late-night cravings, and instead of bothering everyone, you sneak to the kitchen. This might mean you are eating things in low light, but even if we were blind, we would have realized that there is something wrong with this sweet treat!

That Is a Unique Flavor

We are not sure how this person didn’t realize there was something fuzzy on their cookie and a slightly off-taste. They must have been pretty hungry!

When meat is processed, all of the yucky bits are removed. Things like bones and veins are not the easiest to eat and are kind of gross. This beef, though, must not have been really processed! It would have been a disturbing surprise if we found it in our beef.

Chewy Beef

This definitely would erase our hunger real quick. After all, beef is not supposed to be tough and chewy, right!

With the world being so hectic and busy, many people try to multitask while they are eating. This means using their devices to do things like answer texts and emails from coworkers and bosses. But doing this could end up with some pretty epic fails.

Time to Disconnect

It is a good thing that most phones nowadays are liquid proof. But maybe this is a sign that this person should put it aside when it comes to dinner time.

Who doesn’t want a nice ice cream one on a hot day? It is the best way to enjoy your time out by the seaside, but you have to be prepared. Those seagulls out there are familiar with human food and will go after just about anything!

We All Scream for Ice Cream

It is cool, though, that this person was able to catch this food failure and preserve it in a photo. This way, they share the story, and people will believe them!

Remember when you were a kid, and you would drop something on the floor. No one asked questions on whether they were supposed to eat that or not. That is as long as you were able to pick it up in that five-second timeframe.

Five-Second Rule?

So we think this guy should go back to those days. Otherwise, they might end up pretty hungry. Of course, that is only if they have swept the floor recently; otherwise, maybe they should call it done!

It can be a good evening if you get to watch your favorite show and enjoy a nice meal. But if you are someone who is not as agile as others, maybe you should make that trip in several different laps.

Look Out!

We feel bad for this person and hope that they are okay. Other than losing their meal, they seem to have damaged their wall with their head. Let’s hope they are fine!

When you work all the time, it might be hard to ensure a nutritious and good meal on the table. That is why many people love crockpot meals. All you do is set it and turn it on. Then when you get home, your house will smell nice, and dinner will be ready.

No Smell

But the trick is it has to have the power. We would have been so mad if we were this person. It’s something so easy, and they were still able to mess it up. Maybe the kitchen just isn’t for them!

Premade side dishes can save you a lot of time when getting ready to make food. But just like everything else, you have to pay attention to the expiration date. Otherwise, you might wind up with something like this that seems to have been growing for quite a while!

Uncle Ben, Why?

That doesn’t look very appealing for sure. We would have been very upset and not even have been able to hold it like this for a photo.

Cookware is meant to be able to stand up to high heat. So, we’re not sure what happened here, but we might ask for our money back. They’re right, though — it seems dangerous to try to eat this meal.

What Was That?

We hope this wasn’t the only component of their dinner, though. It looks like it was going to be pretty amazing, but the powers that be had different plans for them.

Whether you have kids running around or the four-legged furry kind of children, sometimes they want to be near you at all times. This can be quite treacherous when it comes to you carrying things up or downstairs.

Excuse Me, Fluffy

We would be so mad at ourselves for trying this. There might also be a few questions about the intentions of that cat! They chose now to want some attention that seems suspicious to us!

When you’re transporting food, you have to be very careful, or you might end up with a mess like this. Not only do you have to take those turns carefully, but you need to be alert as to what the other drivers are doing.

Chill Out

But hey, at least the whole dish wasn’t lost. It still looks like they have plenty in the pot. It does suck that they will have to stop and clean their car before getting to the party, though!

When using the oven, you are dealing with extremely high temperatures. That is why special dishes are made to be used in the oven. But if you are new to this, maybe you won’t know that!

Wrong Dish

We’re sure that the recipe called for an oven-safe dish, and they just didn’t know how to tell if that’s what they had! Even still, they will undoubtedly make sure next time because of this failure!

When you’re not feeling good, having the ability to order soup to be delivered to your home is a nice luxury to have. But, that’s only true if the delivery guy is careful and doesn’t spill it as this one did!

No Soup for You!

We think the driver should have stayed a few extra minutes and helped this poor person clean up the mess they made. Don’t you?

Pizza is a good go-to when you’re hungry, if you’re not sure what you want. This is because pizza is just your go-to food. But typically, you expect the toppings to be evenly distributed over the top of the pizza.

Toppings on the Side

The only thing we wonder about is how fast was the delivery guy going if this is the end result!

When something takes so long to prepare, losing it is very sad. In fact, we would not be surprised if prior to taking this photo this person spent some time in tears before recollecting themselves.

So Sad!

From what we can see, it looks like it was going to be delicious too, but someone had slippery hands! It might have been good to let the dish sit until it was cooler, so there was no chance of this happening.

Getting chores done while heading out to work can save you time when you get home. So, taking the trash out on your way is a good habit to follow. But, you have to make sure that you’re throwing away the right bag.

Wrong Bag

We want to know how this happened. Maybe the person needs to invest in actual trash bags so he doesn’t wind up with his cat’s litter box remains instead of his lunch!

Quick and easy meals are great, especially for those that have no kitchen skills. Popping a frozen pizza in the oven and having a nice hot pizza ready in just 40 minutes is awesome. But, you have to read the instructions first!

Plastic Pizza

If you ask us, this person kind of got what they deserved. Because we’re sure, they didn’t read the instructions very carefully. Typically, the first thing that you should do is to remove plastic!

Pressure cookers are amazing gadgets for the kitchen that allow you to braise things in a short period. But, they can be pretty dangerous too if you don’t know how to use them. Just check out the scene of this crime!

Too Much Pressure

Someone did not pay attention to the pressure that was building. We just hope there was no human in the vicinity when this happened. The kitchen can be repaired, but a human might not survive this!

Some things have to be carefully watched when you are cooking with them. Though you should be attentive to everything on a stove, things like sauces or sugars need to be monitored closely because they can turn into this.

Hot Lava

Though we are not sure what was in that sauce that did this, we’re sure it cannot smell that great in that kitchen!

If you have glasses, we are sure that you spend quite a bit of time looking for them. You set them down somewhere and walk off only to realize later they are missing. This person must have been looking for them for hours before someone realized where their glasses were.

What a Spectacle!

This bread is going to need to be remade. Though we are shocked that the glasses survived the heat. Those are some good glasses!

What happened here? Most of the time, the pizza is frozen when it goes into the oven. Maybe this person thought they had to defrost the pizza before cooking it? Whatever happened, they are going to have a few minutes of clean-up!

One Ring

But hey, at least the crust got crispy. This means there may be something they can redeem from this epic food fail! If it were us, we would probably just start from scratch, though, and really pay attention to the instructions!

Having a nice brownie after your meal is a good treat. There are so many new ways to do this that you never have to go without dessert. Things like coffee cup brownies are fun and easy.

I’ve Been Mugged

But apparently not too easy because this person seems to have messed it up pretty well. It kind of looks like the brownie is forming the cup.

When a pressure cooker is done, you have to release the pressure. This can actually be a tedious process as you have to be very careful not to burn yourself with the steam. Typically though, you don’t have to protect yourself from things flying through the air!

Look Out!

This looks like maybe the pressure got too much for this gadget, and it just had to explode. This sounds too familiar: sometimes you just can’t keep it inside and you just gotta explode!
