We asked the BuzzFeed Community to share the moments when a valiant attempt at whipping up something to eat turned into a funny, embarrassing, or totally epic food fail. Here's what they gave us.
1. A pre-made lasagna that didn't actually make dinner easier:
2. An egg that's seen better days:
3. Not one, but TWO unsuccessful tries for what should have just been simple toast:
4. Chocolate chip cookies that may just be the true definition of a hot mess:
5. A particularly toothsome cheesecake:
"I had just moved into my first apartment around Thanksgiving, so I decided to bring a cheesecake, fresh out of my own brand-new kitchen, to my family's celebration. I don’t have a mixer, so I used a plastic fork. While mixing, I mysteriously couldn’t find the fork I had been using, so I grab another. Cheesecake turns out great, and I take it to my family’s house. My grandma cuts into it and the knife doesn’t go through. Well...I had baked not one, but TWO plastic forks into the cheesecake. No one wanted to eat it."
6. An omelet shortcut gone awry:
7. A chocolatey collapse:
8. A pan-less pizza predicament:
"I tried to make a pizza without a pan, just placing a heavy pizza on the oven rack. The dough broke and cheese, sauce and toppings fell and started a fire. The house smelled sooo bad! It was so bad, the self-cleaning oven feature wouldn’t fix it. I had to scrub the bottom of the oven.
9. A pie that decided it wasn't into the traditional pie look:
10. Some meatball meat blobs:
11. A makeshift marinara:
"So, I am not the best chef ever. I figured if you are out of pasta sauce, then ketchup, with some spices, is the next best thing. Well, no one in my family agreed with me on that statement. (If I’m being honest, it really wasn’t that bad!)"
12. A mug and a mess:
13. And a sourdough that didn't exactly rise to the occasion:
Making food is hard, people. Forget the hassle! The Summer Strawberry Chicken Salad requires just one step: a trip to Wendy's.
