Yes, the holidays in 2020 look a lot different than in typical years, but I think we’re still gonna see and hear about a whole lot of fails in the kitchen.
People still gotta eat, ya know?
And Jimmy Fallon asked folks to share their cooking disasters on Twitter.
Here’s the tweet that got everything kicked off!
It's Hashtags time! Tweet out something funny, weird or embarrassing that happened in the kitchen and tag it with #CookingFail. Could be on the show!

Let’s see what folks had to say!
1. Throw it against the wall.
See what sticks!
My friend once threw the pasta against the wall to see if it was done, but it was too high up to reach. Five years later and it’s still on the wall. #CookingFail

2. That’s a meatloaf?
Are you sure about that?
Attempted to make a meatloaf! Sometimes you just have to pick it up off the floor and regroup. Meatloaf to Cottage pie rescue! #CookingFail pic.twitter.com/aDQKLaRfX7

3. Not the best lasagna.
Nice try, though.
I once made my “world famous” lasagna for a group of friends of mine. My recipe uses like 4 different types of cheeses. 3 out of the 4 were correct, but I accidentally got the 4th one wrong. It was a really stinky cheese, and so my lasagna smelled like a butt. #CookingFail

4. Black eggs.
Never a good thing.
I decided to scramble eggs in a skillet I had just fried ham in. I thought it would give them a hammy taste. They turned out black. Black scrambled eggs are very unappetizing.

5. Oh, gross!
Well, dinner is ruined.
My adult child was showing how you spit on someone but pull the spit back in. He spit in the cornbread.

6. That wasn’t stew…
I’m gonna be sick!
My dad called my mom to let her know the can of beef stew she got was “old and gross tasting,” to which she replied, “I didn’t buy any beef stew.” It was beef stew flavored dog food. #CookingFail

7. That must’ve been really bad.
Rejected by the garbage disposal.
Made sauerbraten without the gravy because my new hubby didn’t like sauces. Tasted like rotten meat. Even the garbage disposal barfed it up!

8. Fire hazard.
Go ahead and get rid of that pan.
Newly married wanted to surprise hubby with cooking skills by fry some snacks, so put oil in pan, when oil got too hot, put snacks in it, boom fire in the pan. Then had a fantastic idea to put water over it. Fire explodes. Mother in law never found that pan again #cookingfail

9. Not a good combo.
Clean-up on Aisle 7!
Forgot I was cooking bacon and tried to put out the fire with kool aid. Who knew flaming bacon fat could fly and stick to cabinets.

10. Big time kitchen fail.
And it was a painful one!
I was cooling Ahi for a girl I just started dating. I was barefoot in the kitchen, had the pan on hot with oil, slapped the fish on the pan, and the oil jumped out landing on my foot giving me a third degree burn on my foot. I have a scar that looks like a penis. #CookingFail

11. Must have been an amateur.
Just throw it in the trash.
The time we had crunchy potato salad because my SIL didn’t know that the potatoes were supposed to be boiled first #cookingfail

12. Cookie problems.
Better luck next time?
Why I don’t bake cookies. Epic fail. pic.twitter.com/uKE2Fh98qu

13. Come on , Dad!
You know better than that!
My dad once started making spaghetti before he realized he was out of pasta sauce. He thought he could mix salsa and ketchup as a substitute. #cookingfail
