'That wasn't a cook book Harry.' Ginny glanced at her husband in exasperation.
The least edible thing on this thread. It looks like you flew into space, took out a pot, and attempted to get a chunk of the sun! It's obviously 100,000 times worse than the picture above (oh who am I kidding, 100,000,000,000 times worse!)
"Expelli-aaachooo-mava..."! What happens when you sneeze in the middle of a spell...
Take a recipe for caramel. Cook for a little longer than necessary. Voila! Enjoy your real, bubbling molten LAVA.
If you were trying to recreate a volcano in eruption you succeeded astoundingly well... you are an accomplished geologist. A cook.... not so much.

I love how many of these there are, makes me feel so much better about my kitchen fails!
For me it's the opposite. They make me sad because I know how much time and effort you put into.... A failure..... TT_TT

I don't really cook myself. The biggest fail that ever happened to me was when I made eggs with sugar instead of salt
Look, I don't care that the instructions for the frozen pizza says to put it directly on the rack. PUT IT IN A PAN OR ON A COOKIE SHEET! The instructions are stupid. You wouldn't have a mess in your oven if you had just put it on a cookie sheet at the very least!
reminds me of the time I was looking through the bad reviews (dont ask, its something i do {after i make it ;)} and someone gave this cinnamon roll recipe i had made 6 times (it was amazing btw) a 1-star review because.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... get this: their oven set on fire..........................................like, um i think thats ur fault not the recipe
If you substitute ingredients or don't use them at all, what do you expect? C'mon, short cuts and hacks don't always work. Also, I agree, no under the influence cooking...er, burning.
Okay, I may be easily amused, but I laughed way too hard at some of these. If you get as far as number 35, I actually have a houseguest do that to me one time. You think the cord would've been a dead giveaway...
Too many folks use the wrong ingredients for all those failed cake pictures--using squeeze tube "frosting" instead of the stiffer stuff from the cans. Or using frosting instead of fondant. Using cheap readi-whip instead of whipped cream. etc.
I kinda regret not taking pictures of my kitchen fails. the most spectacular was when I forgot to put the sieve inside an old-school espressomaker. the kitchen was freshly renovated - which we were celebrating with dinner. And then with a lengthy clean of the coffee covered kitchen. I still remember my friend shaking the stuff out of her hair...
Do any of these people actually bother reading the recipe or the instructions on the cooking equipment?
