This Is Why I Don't Cook
This is what happens when you use one noodle to light the burner below...
Learnt this early: small pot needs small flame, or guess where the flame goes?
It' s Adele.after setting fire on the rain she tried the same on spaghetti
This is someone playing around, the only way this could happen would be if you set the pasta on fire...intentionally.
Or if you have too small a pot, do not break the spaghetti, and have a propane stove which is set to high. Speaking from teenage experience here...I'm an excellent cook now though.

Ok so maybe the gas burner was on higher than the sides of the pot? Oh my word, that's so funny!!
It happened to me once :/ You leave the burner on high and forgets to help the pasta slip down the pan, so it bends in half and the end of it touches the fire on the burner, then puf... everything is on fire. Pasta is a very flamable food.
Wow if you can't even cook pasta,back to water and bread then? :P
HOLY C**P MY KITCHEN IS ON FIRE! I should take a pic and post it on instagram
I don't know about you, but that looks like incense to me until I see that those thingies you're supposed to light up are in a pasta pot, halfway submerged in water, and it seems to be in the kitchen. Just one quick question...why is the pasta on fire and the stove not? I just don't get it.
Fake, prove me wrong. I made a few pots of spaghetti in my time.
Happy Birthday

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?
