In a small survey of 2,000 people, it was found that over 64% of the participants have had at least one major fail in the kitchen. Some of the most common mishaps are burning food, burning a pot or a pan, and over boiling the water inside a pot. Also, many people admitted to using too much salt in their food and setting off the smoke alarm. But sometimes, it’s not just about making a mistake, but also about intentionally creating a questionable dish.
