Few things are more rewarding than whipping up a spectacular home-cooked meal, especially if you can show it off to your loved ones. After all, cooking plays an integral part of our lives, builds our curiosity, and brings people together. That is, until the order has been lost and your kitchen has turned into one big chaotic affair. Because when your perfect recipe goes wrong, it tends to go wrong in the worst possible way.

No matter how often you make your special dish or how skilled of a chef you are, no one is immune to gastronomic slip-ups. Some are minor, some are major, and some are what Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares are made from. So recently, Twitter user kaz/diego went viral for sharing their favorite genre of cooking-related posts: people horribly messing up their food and then saying "oopsies!" like it's nothing.

"This is bordering on a looney toons gag level of slapstick destruction, how do you even do this," the user wrote and immediately kicked off a hilarious thread. People jumped at the chance to share their food-related fiascos with the world — and we gathered some of the worst ones to share with you all. So continue scrolling and upvote as you go! Keep reading to also find an in-depth interview with food blogger and journalist Ellen Manning. Then let us know what you think about them in the comments, and be sure to check out our previous pieces filled with cooking fails here and here.

    45min? Every microwave should have a software that says: I don't know what you put inside me, but you better don't leave it there for 45 min

    What weird kind of pizza is that? I always put my pizzas on the rack in the oven and this never happens. Was the bottom made of cheese?

    Did that once. The eggs exploded onto every surface of the kitchen (including the ceiling) and the whole house smelled for a week.

    I’ve done this! Recipe called for plain flour and baking powder. I mistook self-raising flour for the plain flour so there was just waaay to much rising action….and then it all fell down.
