People Are Sharing The Biggest Cooking Mistakes They’ve Noticed Others Making (36 Pics)

This needs more upvotes!

Minimal oil is fine (Olive oil, vegetable oil), it's fat(Dripping/Lard etc)/wet wipes that's the problem. In the UK 'fatbergs' are common. I recently had to get the sewerage company to unblock the communal sewer. I have my suspicions as to who caused the blockage and the reason was very likely wet wipes. THEY DO NOT DISINTEGRATE!

I keep a metal container on the stove for oils and fats. When that gets full, I put a ziplock bag in a red solo cup, pour I the oil, seal it up and put it in the freezer for a day, then it goes in the trash. Easy.

Especially if you have a septic system. Wanna ruin your drainfield REAL quick? Dump oil.

Found this tidbit awhile ago so thought I'd share it. Turn it into bird feed. Upcycling beef fat into suet cakes for birds makes cooking oil disposal fun for the whole family. Once the oil is cool enough to handle, mix it with leftover flour, oats, cereals, seeds and other bird feed. You can either portion the liquid mixture into disposable baking cups and refrigerate them to harden the cakes or wait until the oil is cool enough that you can roll it into balls yourself. Once the grease cakes solidify, roll them in bird seed and hang them in a mesh produce bag or suet cage outside. Make sure the weather isn't too warm to melt or spoil the cakes.

LMAOOO.

And don't you even think about touching any or my pans before asking me first, unless you want a dent on your forehead.

At first, I was like what the heck is up with the image?! Lol.

I will bandage the scratch and walk away..( jk i couldn't resist i would never scratch pans with metal utensils)

What if you don't have a soul?

Yeah, you're just asking to get sick.

You can safely eat beef (Steak tartare) and lamb raw. NEVER, EVER EAT UNDERCOOKED/RAW CHICKEN. END OF.

And that is not even medium rare, that's raw.

*laughs in not getting salmonella because I eat my chicken well done*

Yeah, but the obvious answer those people will give you, when you're pointing out salmonella: it ain't salmon.

I've done this out of instinct so many times and still do it *insert face palm*

You'll never see me jump, backwards with my butt out for momentum, like when I've dropped a knife !!

Catching is a reflex. So while this is good advice it‘s not that easy.

Same goes for a hot soldering iron as I learned to my cost once.

Unless it falls into your foot...

Or salad or anything else that won't be cooked first.

But people eat some meats raw, like steak tartare

Does the cook count as raw meat?

Exactly

I've never cared to much, never gotten sick. Like eating raw cookie dough, never got sick. Good for the immune system I think!

OKAY! I GET IT!

That's rice though

Didn't know people did that

Al dente, always undercook pasta by a couple of minutes. Drain the pasta, but save some of the water. Always put the ragu into a pasta, not the other way round. Heat for that extra couple of minutes to warm through. Use some of the saved water if necessary. Once dished up drizzle with a little olive oil, makes a big difference. Ideally, grate real, fresh parmesan cheese (NOT THE STORE CUPBOARD TYPE) and a small grind of black pepper.

It looks like someone's dropped a boil-in-a-bag rice into a camping cup that wasn't cleaned from last year when it fell into a bog

Gordon Ramsey taught me that

Yeah it's true but if I'm hungry I forget these rules

Just cook the meat like it should be cooked, for the love of God!

I agreed to not do Thanksgiving. Accepted invite to another home. Almost cried when they insisted on carving the bird directly after cooking. Never making this mistake again.

Also it is easier to cut then.

Ew! Who does that!
