34 Hilariously Dumb Comments People Left On Internet Recipes That Got Called Out By This TikToker
Interview
Most people we know have a love-hate relationship with internet recipes. They tend to enjoy the ones that get straight to the point and make the instructions extremely easy to follow. On the flip side, they absolutely loathe recipes that have several pages of fluff and ‘lore’ at the beginning. But you can easily scroll past that. However, have you ever scrolled down even further, into the comment section? It can be… quite an experience.
TikTok content creator and vlogger Lucy, aka @lucyloves_, has a fascinating video series about ‘recipe ruiners.’ She features some of the weirdest, stupidest, and most insane comments that people leave on internet recipes. They are beyond hilarious, and a few of them might short-circuit your brain (trust us, we’ve been there).
Check out the strangest comments below and don’t forget to upvote the ones that made you do a double-take, Pandas. Oh, and be sure to follow Lucy’s socials if you enjoy her content!
Bored Panda reached out to Lucy and she was kind enough to answer our questions about the video series and why people write such peculiar comments online. She also shared a bit about herself as a content creator with us. You'll find our full interview with Lucy below, so be sure to read on.

Cider. That’s it. I don’t know what ever fruit you make cider out of in the US but everywhere else it’s apples, so we don’t need to make the distinction. Potato cider? Grape cider?
In the content creator's opinion, it doesn't matter all that much how specific or well-written a recipe is, "people either don’t read it correctly or change things then blame the author."
She shared that she has seen people who "burn things then get into an argument with their boyfriend and blame the author… no amount of good recipe writing can save you from that!" Alas, even the very best recipes writers will have to deal with bizarre comments underneath their posts. It's a question of 'when,' not 'if.'

Respect the hot oil, yes! I must say that I have some sympathy with the OP. I've cooked a spicy Orange Beef stir-fry that called for oil heated to almost smoking to fry the dried shredded pepper. The recipe did caution about heating oil that high and about the possibility that the pepper would scorch if fried too long. (The pepper was removed to drain and be hydrated and sliced, and the oil cooled some to fry the rest of the ingredients starting with the re-hydrated julienne'd tangerine peel.) Mise en place is important.

After sharing flats with people who were absolutely hopeless at cooking, had no idea of safety and zero capacity to think logically, I honestly think there should be some kind of legal requirement to be allowed to cook anything.

I used to be really uncomfortable with cooking and would always look up recipes before making anything. It would always stress me out so much when people would do things like this in the comments because I would think the recipe wouldn't be good and it'd be a waste. Especially when multiple people did it.
The beauty of Lucy’s ‘recipe ruiners’ series is that it gives a whole different perspective to the sometimes mind-boggling world of food. If you thought that only decent, polite, and rational people cook at home, well, you were wrong.
We sometimes see maniacs who use mayonnaise instead of heavy cream… and then boast about it online. Then there are those who substitute flour with salt and think it’s the recipe’s fault when they don’t get the expected results. That’s the kind of eldritch knowledge that can break your mind, H. P. Lovecraft-style. Whether you’re religious or not, you might be likely to agree that those people need Jesus in their lives, just as a broad precaution against culinary sins.

Actually, substituting salted butter for some of the salt (or vice-versa) is a legitimate hack. Each stick (ie: half pound) of salted butter has the equivalent of 1/4 tsp. salt.

At least he wrote a good review, instead of changing the recipe completely and then giving one star because the result was uneatable.
Generally speaking, baking is a science while cooking is a form of art. That’s not to say that bakers can’t be creative or that precision and discipline aren’t valued in cooking.
Far from it. It’s just that it’s far more essential to follow the instructions to the letter when you’re baking a pie or a cluster of cupcakes. Meanwhile, if you’re frying something up, you can allow yourself a bit more freedom to ‘jazz’ things up.
In other words, cooking allows for more freedom than baking when it comes to substituting some ingredients for others.

There is nothing wrong with having a glass of wine when you cook. With complicated recipies two glasses are still fine. But if you suddenly wake up, face in chopped onions and two empty bottles next to you, you used too much wine.
For instance, you may have run out of a specific spice, or fruit, or vegetable that the recipe calls for. No worries, you can still avoid the hassle of running to the shop by using what you have at hand in the pantry as a crutch.
However, this simply does not work if you substitute things based on just how they look (e.g. mayonnaise and cream), instead of their flavor profiles.

Yes, aesthetics are important, but we don’t just eat with our eyes. Your baked goods and dishes have to taste well, not just look more or less like the pics in the recipe.
At the same time, we shouldn’t be blind to the fact that culinary fashions come and go. The aesthetics can change wildly, but they tend to rely on flavor profiles that people have enjoyed for very long stretches of time. That’s why it’s so important to get the flavor combos right.

Holly Benedict 3 years ago
So here's the math on that one. Frosting = thick, creamy, usually starts white or slightly off white in color, Suger will be added to make it sweet, usually not in most people's fridge. Mayo= thick, creamy, usually white or off white in color, recipe calls for adding sugar, probably in most people's fridge.

You should try substituting the flour with salt. I've heard it's divine
A while back, Professor Nathalie Cooke, from McGill University, illuminated Bored Panda about vintage party food recipes from the 1950s. She noted that, as strange as the dishes might look, the “basic flavor combination is something that reaches across the decades.”
“[The vintage recipes] may seem very odd to us in the 21st century, but the taste combinations—savory and sweet (tuna waffles, ham and bananas) or sweet and sour (mayo with lime) are surely very familiar,” she said during an earlier interview.

You can actually sub eggs with banana, but the the texture is a bit heavier. A lot of vegan recipes use banana instead of egg. However, if the recipe says 'egg' and you use banana instead, you can't really complain, because you didn't follow the recipe as it was written.
OmBoyGanesh 3 years ago (edited)
I was always taught that you can sub with banana but you have to add moistened flax to get a proper binding. I think this is an older vegan baker trick that somehow got pared down to just mashed banana or applesauce. - the secret to it is to soak flax seed in hot water at a 1:2 until it’s tacky or gooey. Fro my here it’s 1:1 with apple sauce or banana to get something that works as well as an egg.

Yoga Kitty 3 years ago
Yes, but you always have to know what the eggs are supposed "to do" when chosing the substitute. Are they for flavour? Use kala namak! Do they bind something? Use soy flour or cooked apples. For texture? Maybe banana - and so on and so on. It can be a tad difficult if you are maybe a complete novice at cooking and baking because you already need a bit of understanding how these things work.

“But if we were to create one of today’s favorites from scratch, say Pad Thai, we would start from the same basic taste combinations you describe in what at first glance seem like bizarre plate partners,” she noted.
“Cooking bitter tamarind with water, raw sugar and fish sauce will build the basic foundation (sour, salty, and sweet). To that one would add the requisite green onions, bean sprouts, and noodles—and likely some additional flavor notes such as shallot, garlic, and perhaps dried turnip (salty and sweet) to deepen the flavor,” the professor said.

True but they still take females too at times. Especially free martin cows, market breeding guilts when they have too many females. (A free martin female was a twin to a male and is most likely sterile, if it’s female/female twins, they would be fine)

✋🏼 oh oh oh. Pick me. Pick me!!! I live on an island where wild boar is our biggest mammal threat & a serious nuisance to gardens and the like. Not to mention the damage they cause to cars. I’ve dealt with many of these beasts as tho they were your everyday vermin. They’re also a main staple of our islands flagship dish: Kālua Pork. Which is often pulled. Never, ever have o head of anyone gendering the boar before dressing it, much less cooking. How does one determine the gender prior? It’s even hard when hunting or trapping them to figure out the gender. I don’t know of anyone even giving this consideration.

Everything about this comment is bizarre. Never heard of pulled pork in KY? In a Southern US state, this person has *never heard of pulled pork*?? Well I’ve heard of pulled pork here in DC, AND (oddly) I’ve heard of boar hunting in Cadiz, but I have no idea what “esthetic” is trying to mean. O_o

So basically, I threw away the food without cooking it, much less tasting it, and that's your fault.

Apparently they are rich enough to waste food for no good reason.

So you made the dough without realizing you were putting in an ingredient that you heartily disagree with (and presumably purposely bought at a store), then suddenly realized what you had done, threw the dough away, and that all is somehow the blogger's fault?!?

You - what? - read the recipe, bought/gathered the listed ingredients, made the dough and *then* threw it out and sat down to have a sanctimonious whinge.

Shortening is literally vegetable oil solid, not bad chemical butter? Depending on the recipe you cannot always sub butter for shortening, they do different things when they cook 🙄

There is butter flavored Crisco, I think that is what they mean. Works great in cookies!

O ok.. pork eggrolls have diferent tastings compared to shrimp... so the ingriedients wers meant for pork not the shrimp... who on earth removes mushrooms??

msg is not bad. It only causes headaches in the rare group of people who have a sensitivity. If a recipe asks for it, you should probably use it or you won't have a good flavor...and also using shrimp instead of pork doesn't help.

So...you made your own recipe and transposed your ingredients to an entirely different recipe, expecting it to taste good?

It isn't kosher, but I've made egg-rolls with ground pork mixed with minced shrimp. It does taste different from using either filling alone, but is still tasty.

What a terrible post! I mean, I didn't read it because I wasn't in the mood, so I read today's news instead, and it put me in an even worse mood, so I really can't recommend this post that's about...uh...whatever it's about.
