I feel like kitchen disasters tend to happen more than we'd like to admit at times, so please feel free to share your funniest or worst attempts at cooking or baking.

I remember Ann Reardon addressing this "hack" in a video. She sacrificed a microwave to teach us it can't work and to never do it.

It can actually work, and she shows how... but it's a terrible method and apparently doesn't even taste good for all the effort. What you do is heat for 30 seconds in a big bowl, take the stuff out of the microwave, whisk, then back in... again and again and again. Debunking didn't destroy the microwave, but it caused one heck of a cleanup. That poor debunking microwave. (The video is 'Debunking Fake Cooking Videos 2020' - How to Cook That) You can make Dulce de leche by opening the can of sweetened condensed milk, cover the top with foil, put that in a water bath, and heat it - make sure you keep the water topped up. She discusses this in 'NEW Debunking Exposing Fake Viral Videos 2020'. I think you can also stir it in a pot on the cooktop? Ann Reardon's videos are great, highly recommended. She shows how deceptive and dangerous some of those 'hacks' are.

Boil the can unopened in water for 2 hours, best caramel ever! Works with the ring-top cans too, been doing it for years. Just don't pierce the can afterwards until it has completely cooled down!!

I've been so tempted to try the cooking hacks on 5 Minute Crafts. Thank God I ran into Ann Reardon on YouTube!

Caramel is best made in a pressure cooker (like instant pot) or, if you've got the tile (4 hours) on the stove. But I'm up voting this for the cook's effort, even if it's lacking in technical understanding. I'm impressed.

Well that definitely didn't end well. I sure would hate to be the one cleaning that.

Actually, this will very often end in explosion and severe burns! Never microwave an egg!

You can't tell from the putside if a potato is rotten in the middle. But the rotten part can be cut out.

I've had this happen. Try turning the berries into a coulis before adding them, or blending and straining out any seeds/stems. Add the milk first, and add in fruit bit by bit. Too much fruit at first just gums up the blades and fails from the get go. Now, if this happens again, mix in the milk, and freeze 😁 Flake it up with a fork every so often (15-20 mins?), and make yourself a nice treat!

wait, did you get a B- for not eating this right or cooking this wrong? this makes no sense and your teacher needs a C- for not being clearer.
