50 Times People Failed In The Kitchen So Badly, They Just Had To Share Pics Online (New Pics)
Cooking—it’s that optional thing that we do when we don’t want to look like lazy good-for-nothings eating cheese and salami straight out of the pack and munching on raw vegetables instead of making a salad. Even cavemen and barbarians were able to cook things well. But even with the help of modern technology, we sometimes end up absolutely butchering our meals and making mega cooking fails.
Prepare your stomachs, dear Readers, for Bored Panda has baked up a feast of the most incredible cooking fails for you to enjoy. Upvote your fave pics and leave a comment about the times you messed up while cooking. Psst. We’ve got more epic cooking fails for you to taste right here, here, and here. Remember to chew well and take your time. Patience and focus have a lot to do with success in the kitchen (and in life, but that’s another story). If you’re distracted or running around like a headless chicken then odds are, you’ll make a ton of mistakes. Before you know it, your spaghetti’s on fire. Or worse—it’s fallen straight inside your shoes. Don’t believe us? Scroll on down.
Pie artist and baking and cooking pro Jessica Clark-Bojin was kind enough to give Bored Panda a few great tips and tricks to help all of us out in the kitchen and prevent massive disasters from happening. "Kitchen 'mistakes' can range from the catastrophic, 'I forgot the pot roast in the oven and now the kitchen is on fire' to the more benign, 'I accidentally put paprika in the cookies instead of cinnamon', but in most instances, they stem from the same thing: distraction and a lack of preparation." Read on for her delicious insights into avoiding kitchen mistakes.

Nope. I thought this was blood sausage. The stuff traumatized me. I tried to improve each bite with bits of salad - Nope. And Iâll eat anything - sweetbreads (properly done), I pick limpets of the rocks in Cape Cod Bay - basically fresh raw clams... brains, quail, snake, frog, rabbit, bear, - just not bloody stuff. (Shudder). And no duck. I grew up with ducks. Canât eat siblings.

Jessica pointed out that anyone who wants to improve in the kitchen should start by taking some time to think about and picture in their mind all the steps before diving in and starting to bake or cook. That way, you can avoid slip ups, blunders, and setting your entire kitchen aflame.
"Make sure you have all the ingredients you need before you start baking. Work 'mis-en-place' and have all the bowls, spoons, tools, etc. cleaned and out on the counter ready for you. Measure out dry ingredients in advance, and (if called for) portion out wet ingredients and chill in the fridge. Clean up pots and pans while your mixture bakes," Jessica shared.

My Friend Made A âHedgehogâ For Her 14-Year-Old Sonâs Birthday
Foxxy (The Original) 5 years ago
Nothing says Happy Birthday quite like a creepy happy smile on a cake.
According to the pie expert, it's hard to make mistakes if you follow these steps. Or, at the very least, following them will mean that you'll catch any mistakes before they become really big issues. "Taking the few extra minutes to prep will give you a lovely stress-free baking experience!"
Jessica also shared that everyone in her family cooks, but they all have different dietary preferences. So tasting food can be a challenge. "We have family members who are vegetarian, vegan, celiac (and just plain fussy) and it’s not always possible for the cook to taste what they are making for everyone else. But you can always bring in a pinch-taster and get a second opinion!"

Other professionals echo Jessica's advice, too. Katie Workman from the Associated Press writes that we should all read through recipes all the way through ahead of time so that we can get all the ingredients that we need. What’s more, we’ll be well prepared for any time-consuming surprises in advance.
You should also get all of your ingredients ready before you start cooking. After all, if you’re supposed to be sauteing your veggies but you’re still chopping your bell peppers while your mushrooms are already frying, you might end up with a weird mix of under and over-cooked food.
Finally, keep in mind that seasoning makes all the difference to the taste of the dish. So add a pinch of salt and pepper here and there from time to time. During prep. In the middle of cooking. Right before serving. Try to find the balance between overseasoning and utter blandness. Oh, and remember to sharpen your knives!

This is why you NEVER make an alcoholic item IN the house. You make it outside in a shed or gawdhelpus, the garage but NEVER in the house, unless you have a dedicated room with tile floors and plastic covered everything. My friends who used to make their own wine [before the fires wiped them out in Northern California] created a dedicated room under the house where they made the wine. I hope he hired a professional cleaning company, otherwise, he is still cleaning.

Glasses! At least spoons are MEANT to be dunked into food and easy to clean. Glasses... not so much. Also, with well-worn glasses probably only the lenses are clean, but not the frames which sit on the face all day and might have weird hard-to-reach corners that have never been properly cleaned... whereas the spoon was probably a fresh spoon that had only been used in preparing the dough. I'd take the baked-in spoon over baked-in glasses any day.

Mishte Tine 5 years ago
Awww... Virtual hugs. Itâs just flour bits - and thankfully there doesnât seem to have sauce involved (which would make cleanup so much more of a pain). Good pans end up being cheaper in the long run I think. I donât mean the highest end stuff, but good cookware makes cooking way easier and last for years. Nothing wrong with buying used pieces as long as theyâre un-damaged. And you can sterilize them too. Good cookware is wonderful. I have something a level below good (Wolfgang Puck brand). They work well, but Iâve never had anything so prone to stains and SO hard to clean. So, pass this brand up. But keep cooking no matter what your tools are like - as long as theyâre safe.

The shape is actually pretty good, and it honestly wouldnât look too bad if you frosted the bald spot and used chocolate chips for eyes, and pink food dye for a nose.

And I know from experience that the surface of the frosting wonât get any smoother than that if all you have is a knife =_=

Oh just last week I got burned by mashed potatoes splattering out of a pot. My burn is smaller but in the same place. Words canât describe the pain.
fuggnuggins 5 years ago
Here's a tip for you all: soup gets f*****g hot. You don't need to reheat it on high, even if it's a canned or packet soup. Just heat it till it's warm. The slower the better - it will splatter less. Try at 40% - 60%, for a couple minutes longer. Most microwaves will heat it up just as hot because they don't adjust temperature - at lower power levels they output the same power, just cut out at intervals (you hear it). So it'll be just as hot, but eased to that temp, which is easier to control so safer for you, and less clean up afterwards.

Baking A Cake In A Rice Cooker
Raine Soo 5 years ago
I wasn't aware that you could bake a cake in a rice cooker. I'm still not convinced.
Olivia Agave 5 years ago
You can, and they don't usually do this. You can also make some awesome pancakes in a rice cooker too.
Load More Replies... Olivia Agave 5 years ago
A rice cooker is just an electrical induction cooker asteamer. Pretty much anything that can be cooked in a saucepan - which includes cakes and even pizzas - can be cooked in a rice cooker. This is just an example of someone putting in too much batter for the rise of the cake.

Wood is weakest in the direction of the grain. Once a split begins it will propagate along the length of the entire piece, especially if the wood is dry.
