Imagine if you mistook salt for sugar when you bake a cake

That has actually happened on MasterChef. The person got eliminated because of it.

“Oh look, three whole cups of sugar for my three layer cake.”

*pours in all the pantry’s salt*

That has got to be the saddest thing I could have ever heard in my entire life

I’m an aspiring cook

For all coffee haters: you are right.

If you are allergic to insects, but still want to drink coffee, buy beans and grind them yourselves.

Oh no!

Hopefully they weren’t too harsh to them

I have not seen the episode, but not tasting stuff you present to the judges probably would not have been received well....

I've heard of a Taiwanese "master chef" where the judges were very hard-edged with their criticism and would always bash the contestants. Then one or more contestants took it very badly (their feelings were hurt and they were sad) and the show runners decided to re-evaluate their model.

Typical snowflake, if they can't take the heat, they should stay out of the kitchen.

Honestly, would you rather everyone compliment on your crap food, and you never improve, or would you want to have a very strict and harsh person who can critique my food well so that I can improve from my mistakes? I choose the latter.
Obviously, over sternness isn’t the best way to educate someone but you still need it.

I think that bashing is bad, but constructive criticism and having an open mind is very important when dealing with these shows

I for one, would have been much happier not knowing this.

People watch the shows for the bashing.

Seconded.

Isn’t the point of the show to win? But like it’s also some sort of way to get critique for your cooking style.

[Celritannia]

Thrice cooked thick British Chips with curry sauce.

[Inner Wellness]

Ketchup goes with anything.

Not with butter pecan ice cream.

Ranch dressing is life.

If you are implying ranch dressing goes good with ice cream.... go sit in the corner.

Cold. Ouch. (or hot, since I got burned)

I watched a horror movie today while having a cup of green tea with a serving of thousand year eggs with soy sauce

The tea contrasts nicely with the snack

False advertising. Those eggs aren't REALLY a thousand years old.

True

What should it be called? Twenty year egg?

[Twicetagram and JYPe]

Thousand year eggs SUCK I tell you. Don’t even think of eating them
