Lightbulb moment

Challah bread gone just like that

Spent the whole day baking but doggo had other ideas.

Like the entire thing just gave up after all that hard work.

Call it a McInferno

“I forgot to put water in my EZ Mac. Stepped away to change the laundry while it cooked for 3 minutes. When I came back, the microwave was on fire and definitely gave me 6 different types of cancer.” – Reddit

Lunch is ready

Gives that crispy, toasty zing with every bite.

Croissant anyone?

To be fair these look pretty good in some weird appetizing way.

With a fork too

This is heated up meatball spaghetti in a microwave and left there for 3 weeks.

This is Rex

All he wants to do is to help with the baking as you can see here.

Don’t leave the oil

Tends to happen, so when heating up oil, keep your mind on it.

Spaghetti squash

It’s an almost upside down cake

Homemade cookies

Comes in diesel, charcoal, asteroid, and rubber.

So good it was fire

They were eggs

But they were over boiled so much they became webs.

Wasted quesadilla

When you’re looking forward to a quesadilla but now you have to look down on it.

Cobblestone brownies

“I’m gonna say I misread the package as 350 minutes instead of degrees, not that I got high and fell asleep on the couch.” – Reddit

Extra strength popcorn

Wow must have been some serious popping going on there.

Five hour bagels

You could use those to break windows when the need arises.

At least she’s trying

This guy’s girlfriend tried to make lasagna only to make a mess of things.

Surprise us

“My sister tried to bake brownies using her own recipe. She said the recipe included flour, eggs, Skittles, Nutella, and butter, all random amounts.” – Reddit

They’re really done

It’s anyone’s guess as to what these are. Hotdogs? Corndogs? Eggplants?

It became art

Always, always check the oven before using it and firing it up.

Husband’s got an ace

Shame about the bacon

This isn’t how you keep bacon warm, okay?

Then the guests left

Now to clean up

Microwave lunch for some reason jumped and flipped over.

Black curly fries

Eggnog

Made the night before, so it transformed into this monstrosity the next morning.

And a fight started

Angled cake

No one knows how this happened but it does look interesting.

This is bread made from just flour and water, and no, don’t try it.

Could have been pizza
