Hilarious kitchen fails<\/h2>\n
\n

With the social distancing policy in practice in Vietnam right now to contain the COVID-19 pandemic<\/a>, most restaurants and food stalls have been forced to shut down, and we Vietnamese are restricted from leaving our homes<\/strong>. In other words, eating out is no longer an option<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This means we now have to whip out those pans and rice cookers more than usual in the kitchen. Unfortunately, not everyone is skilled in the art of cooking, and hilarious fails are bound to happen.<\/p>\n

But being the optimistic folks that we are, we have turned this into a source of entertainment, sharing these kitchen mishaps<\/strong> online for everyone to have a good laugh together.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s check out some of the best ones:<\/p>\n

\n

Whether they’re raw or not, don\u2019t microwave eggs. Just don\u2019t.<\/h3>\n
\n

We all know that cooking raw eggs with a microwave oven is a bad idea, but if you think boiled and peeled eggs are safe to microwave, you should reflect on your life choices, lest you find yourself in the position of Facebook user Tr\u1ea7n Linh.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoiled some eggs but after peeling I found that they were still rare, so I put them in the microwave oven. I thought since they were boiled and peeled, they wouldn\u2019t explode. Well, they indeed didn\u2019t\u2026 until I opened the oven. It just had to blow up in my face<\/strong>,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n

Apparently microwaving boiled eggs is a more common occurrence than you\u2019d think, as Tr\u1ea7n Linh isn\u2019t its only victim. Netizen Ki\u1ec1u Trang also posted a short video of the disastrous aftermath of her own attempt.<\/p>\n

Cooking attempts gone wrong<\/h3>\n
\n

Meanwhile, the story of My Tra Tran is a prime example of how NOT to follow cooking guides. She tried making a custard cake <\/strong>with a rice cooker by following someone else\u2019s recipe. Well, let\u2019s just say that it didn\u2019t turn out too well.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow I have no way to cook rice for dinner<\/strong>,\u201d My Tra Tran wrote, sharing a photo of her burnt cake and destroyed rice cooker.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, a man who goes by the name \u0110\u1ee9c \u0110i\u1ec7p learned the hard way that chicken and purple sweet potatoes don\u2019t quite go together in a stew.<\/p>\n

At least he was pretty whimsical about it, drawing a comparison between his strangely purple chicken stew and Randall Boggs, a character from the Pixar animated movie Monsters, Inc<\/em>. We\u2019ve got to hand it to him, as the resemblance is indeed uncanny.<\/p>\n

\u201cVolcanic avocado smoothie\u201d is how netizen Vi\u1ec7t Nguy\u1ec5n describes this fail. \u2018Nuff said.<\/p>\n

But nothing tops this hilarious attempt to make blood sausage:<\/p>\n

Ph\u1ea1m \u0110\u00ecnh Ho\u00e0ng, the artist behind this masterpiece, claims that it actually tastes fine despite how it looks like something that comes out of the human body, not in. But let\u2019s just take his word for it.<\/p>\n

Practice makes perfect<\/h3>\n
\n

One does not simply become a master chef overnight. Every success requires practice, and it is good to see that these rookie cooks are at least getting a good laugh out of their failed attempts.<\/p>\n

With a forum to discuss and share their experiences, perhaps now people will be more willing to try out new cooking formulas, knowing that if nothing else, they\u2019ll at least have a funny story to share with others. Such positivity is much-needed during these tough times.<\/p>\n
