30 Times Folks Online Messed Up A Meal In The Most Entertaining Way Possible For Unexplainable Reasons

made an absolutely gorgeous vegetable stock from scratch using scraps i'd been collecting & freezing for weeks & lots of beautiful fresh herbs. poured it into a colander and - yep, straight down the f******g drain. all of it. my brain forgot it was the liquid i was saving, not the colander bulls**t.

i immediately just sat down, bump, on the kitchen floor, & contemplated my life choices for a while.

Lololol so one time, I was boiling eggs in the morning, and one of them cracked while in the pan, so I scooped that one out. Then I added another egg in and I was like “I’ll just leave that one in a little bit longer” AS IF I WAS GONNA BE ABLE TO TELL THEM APART

Was really upset when I couldn't find my leftover bacon to have for breakfast. Found it the next day in the knife drawer.

Was making a stock in a pressure cooker at 2 am, accidentally dumped a couple cinnamon sticks into it for unfathomable reasons.

It was godawful. Smelled like Santa had passed at a chicken restaurant.

Bruh I made eggs Benedict on Christmas and spent so much effort getting the hollandaise sauce right I totally forgot to poach eggs and served an English muffin with sauce

My gf wanted a hot chocolate and asked me if I could get her one, while I get my coffee.

I took the bag with chinese five spices mix and mixed it with milk. I do know that this bag contains five spices and not cocoa, because it's my only plastic bag in that shelf and it it's written on it, but my brain was like 'brown powder - close enough'.

She didn't like it.

Sooooo many times when I’m making a dish served over rice I forget to start the rice until I’m almost finished cooking. Then have to keep the food warm while I wait for rice to cook. Face palm every time.

Went to drain some shrimp that I thawed at work. Had the strainer setup over the sink, garbage next to me to toss the bag in. Cut the bag open and dumped the shrimp right in the garbage

I once left a glass pan with lasagna on my electric stove, covering the back 2 burners. I then decided to make tea, put the kettle on the front burner, but turned on the wrong one. Walked away, but a few minutes later the lasagna pan exploded, covering my kitchen in tiny glass shrapnel.

Used coconut flour instead of bread flour for a loaf of bread--that didn't go so well.

I also deep fried a pot holder once. I don't even know what was going on in my brain on that one.

I very frequently pull things out of the oven and forget that they're stupid hot because they are no longer in the hot place.

Greased the pan for rice krispy treats with bug spray rather than cooking spray. Fortunately, I realized before serving them to anyone (but not after filling the pan, so I had to run to the supermarket for more ingredients).

I used a colander to strain my linguine, but the holes were bigger than the pasta so it all went through and fell into my sink.

My father grabbed the ground up Graham Crackers instead of the bread crumbs for clams casino. You DO NOT want to eat Graham Cracker Clams Casino.

When I was a teen I accidentally put used vegetable oil in a packet chocolate cake mix. Cake tasted like baked potatoes and lamb with a hint of chocolate.

I was making pancakes and put the two tablespoons of sugar into the container that holds my flour rather than the pancake bowl

Spent a bunch of time making filet mignon with an herb and Cabernet gravy out of the leftover fat in the pan and on the final bit of thickening the gravy, I added powdered sugar instead of flour.

I once slow cooked a large ham for 9 hours, came to get it out and it was still wrapped up in its plastic.

I was making French toast for too many people and forgot to dip a batch in the egg stuff…. Enjoy your pan fried toast.

I accidentally started to pour vanilla extract in salad dressing instead of vinegar.

I guess it's not the stupidest mistake since it was clear imitation vanilla extract in a bottle that looked extremely similar to the vinegar, and I realized pretty quickly and only put a tiny bit in, but after tasting it out of curiosity, I have to say that the flavor was certainly... memorable. It turns out that vanilla can taste amazingly horrible in savory stuff.
