The first time I ever cooked my own thought out meal.. was sautéed onions (with butter on low heat) with jalapeños, green and red peppers, and hamburger meat on a 2nd pan, and noodles in a pot for 10mins after the water was boiling and mix it all together in a bowl and added soy vay teriyaki sauce The school I went too had the worst cooking teacher it was nothing but basic peanut butter and jelly almost everyday it got to the point where I said hell even the schools cafeteria staff make better food than you and I left that class and went there and bought nachos, and a sub and went back..

My favorite season of worst cooks is when Alton Brown was the cohost. He had some of the best one liners that have always stick out in my mind. One episode when a contestant would not stop opening an oven to check on a cake she was baking Alton just screamed across the room "It's an oven not a nuclear reactor it wont get hot unless you close it!"

A couple of notable things from this show, one season had a contestant that won that later went on to be convicted of murdering her kids. Food Network has since scrubbed that season from existence. In another season there was a lady that was so bad she got eliminated from the show before they even picked teams because during the segment where they cook their "signature" dish her station was an absolute mess. Every piece of equipment she used, including knives and food was just thrown on the floor at her feet and the mess around her station was up to her knees.

The only one I can relate to is the guy who forgot to lock his bowl on the stand mixer. My first year having one, I occasionally forgot to twist it into place when in a hurry or distracted, and once the bowl moves you kind of forget where the speed control lever is because the spinning has your brain following it in circles. At least dough, the only thing I have ever mixed in one that would make it spin, is pretty safe even if it tries to fly and flip itself into a pizza crust.

**just to note I did not have the mixer bowl facing, ummm, away from me. I don’t understand how the set even allows that as an option. That seems like a bad prank being played, “pros” setting it up backwards and a guy who hasn’t used one assuming they aren’t screwing him up on purpose.

For those who don't know, that show is basically bootcamp for bad cooks. Some of the contestants sign up themselves, some are signed up by their loved ones. This video is covering the first event of the respective seasons, which is when the new contestants show off their "skills." Afterwards, they are split into two teams and throughout the season will train under their celebrity chef and compete in a series of challenges against the opposing team until only one remains.

I used to live with a fifty year old woman and her grown sons. Her idea of cooking steak was to pan fry it to the consistency of boot leather.

I mean raw garlic gives a nice flavour to the food. I honestly prefer the flavour of raw garlic over cooked garlic. I usually add in raw garlic into my bolognese right before serving, so it doesn't cook out the nice aroma. But of course I use a garlic press for that. About the steaks, while not pleasant to eat, as long as it's not burned to a crisp, it's not dangerous. My grandmother wasn't a great cook at all compared to my mother or my other grandmother, but compared to what I see regurarly, she was decent. She was a great baker though.

This is legitimately one of my favorite tv cooking competitions. The chef’s will tease the contestants about their meals, but you can tell how much they want them to actually succeed. As these are “the worst cooks” in America the show really focuses on helping them build skills and learn how to cook. It’s a really light fun show and if you’re new to cooking you might learn something too! I know I have!

I remember there was a special sushi package they sold at Lidl which has the basic ingredients for sushi and teaches you how to make it. It came with sushi sticks, a wooden sushi roll (used to shape it), dried algae, etc. Esentially you get bits of salmon and place them in the freezer, get them out after a few days so it kills any potential worms, cook some rice by boiling it and then just use the wooden roll to place the algae, rice and salmon in that order. You esentially get a giant sushi roll which you'll need to cut to make smaller sushis and then they're ready afterwards. Not that hard when you think about it, it's more about preparing the fish beforehand and having the rice and algae ready. Just dip in some soy sauce and enjoy. (I'm not a cook so please don't follow this since I don't remember it that well, I'd recommend watching some videos on youtube or cooking recipes which go into more detail)

Because there are no jobs in the army, that these people can be taught to do efficiently enough. The people in that show in a nutshell. In this age of extreme safety, stupid people are becoming ever large portion of the population, because they always breed without thought. Back in the day they used to have much higher mortality rate than anyone with a working brain, but these days they're kept alive by societies safety mechanisms.

There was one contestant who was an art teacher from NC, who used a tenderizing mallet to drive her knife through the food. Instead of using a knife like normal, she’d put the knife on top of the food and wang the dull side of the knife with the mallet. Over and over. She’d been cooking like that for years.

I should put my friend on this show. She stayed round one night. It was only EVER that one night. She didn't know what al dente meant and that was after she took catering classes FOR 2 YEARS!!! Her microwaved scrambled eggs were a crime against humanity and it should have been taken out of its misery. I have never been able to eat scrambled eggs again since. She failed to see the concept of "boil-in-the-bag" rice and thought the bags were for "portion control." and cut the bags open to boil the rice. And the last straw before I banished her from the kitchen with fear of her killing herself or me with food poisoning was pouring hot fat down the sink and blocking it

As someone who taught herself to cook in her mid-20s, I get some of these. The complete misjudgement of how much cheese/butter/oil goes in a dish? Been guilty of that. When you have never observed anyone cooking (in real life, or on TV), you really don't have an instinct for these things. It took me a few days of frying everything in like a cm of oil before I realized most recipes just mean a thin coating of oil on the pan when they say "add oil". The attempts to cut through an avocado or zest potato skins - weirder, but I can see how they reach those conclusions under pressure. When you're on TV, even if you feel "there must be an easier way of doing this", you don't have the opportunity to google for the better method. I have definitely had to google "how to cut X" for most fruits and veggies at some point in my life. But then there are the _truly_ baffling things - who sticks their hand into boiling water and thinks "ya, this must be what cooks do every day, sounds 'bout right"!? Girl, do you have any self preservation instincts or nah!?

When I was a kid we did cooking classes for the first three years of high school each week for 2 hours and learned the basics for baking, roasting etc and that included the boys too. That was in the late 70's early 80's in Australia, We did proper meals and ate them there on plates or in some cases if it was a cake or tart, you would eat it at home. Some of the best we ever did was learning how to make Cornish Pasties, quiche, sponges and even had a go at croissants from scratch making the pastry and baking them before eating them at home. We even did some meat dishes like chops, scotch eggs and a basic meat sauce you could use for pies or pasta depending on what you added or subtracted from it. I learned so many basic skills there. When my kids went to high school, their Home Economics (as it was called in my day) had reduced down to cooking the odd cake, and doing a lot of cupcake and cake decorating and was only for half of one year. Maybe its a generational thing but I could cook a proper meal from scratch at about 14, including a dessert if needed while my kids who are late teens and early 20's still need help with a white sauce.....

My mom told me that that her home ec classes included cooking, sewing, money management, taxes, checks, loans, and other things. I wish we stilled had classes like that. I was totally lost when I had to do my taxes for the first time, and when I got my home loan. I was lucky that my mom was there to walk me through it and teach me. We need real life classes back.

It doesn't matter if you start cooking late. What matters is common sense and know a little bit about food safety or safety in general. Culinary showstoppers can come later. I bet your skills have improved a lot since you started.

@@bluewingedchaoscat Thx! Yeah, construction worker single dad 3 kids. Definitely a 5 year learning curve.. Started by just ordering out or pre-made meals, now I have 20 or 30 different things i can make from scratch that are "repeats". It has been very enjoyable time as I keep learning, and the kids started helping too! You're correct that food safety is a must, for sure picked up a lot of tips from youtube videos. 👍

@catherinedavidson7145 Yup, kids love cheesecake factory. We couldn't afford it, so did the copy recipe. Bought the right pan and everything. First one came out great, but downhill from there. Burned as I was so mad at the waste of money! 🙄 (I do a few times a year now as a treat, but am very careful) 😉

I was saucier in my kitchen, and new people ALWAYS messed up the flow of the whole kitchen, at least for a couple of days. But I worked my way up from dish. So I, personally, was new many times. I tried my best to mentor them. And I would always show them the places to move in order to get out of the way.

I think a lot of it are people who are not familiar with cooking following TikTok videos. I think that is kind of sad, since the majority of the videos do not work and have been (heavily) edited done by people looking for their few minutes of fame.

And to me (who was taught to cook by my mom) this seems unreal too. Like.. may of these people are older than me 😳 I mean.. cooking is a basic survival skill. It's.. I have a bit of a hard time wrapping my head around this 😅.

I'm not sure I'd know how to use that can opener in the beginning either. Most of the openers I've used have been the safety openers that lay flat on the top of the can to cut the lid off. But, this is a reality show, and those tend to be the most fake shows on TV. Those people were probably assigned roles to play and to ham it up for the camera.

Thank you James for sharing parts of the video. If I watched it by myself, I'd be yelling at the screen! I'd like to how these people were raised. Didn't anybody have a parent who could cook? Unless people are faking it, how can they be so ignorant?? I was blessed to have a wonderful mother who always cooked from scratch.

Decades ago I did a bunch of odd jobs for a temp agency. I was helping the company rep redo the shelves in a grocery. I think it was Campbell's soup. Some high school kids came around with a shopping list and were discussing what to buy. The company rep was in her 30's originally from Argentina and asked me what it was about. I said the parents were not teaching the kids so the schools were teaching a class in life skills, how to plan meals, make a shopping list, pick out foods and in some school, cook. I never forget the shocked reaction by the rep. So yeah, kids did have parents who didn't cook and left microwave meals for the kids or worse, cereal.

I mean from what I've seen in my life time, I'm not surprised. Used to be in a school where dorm fire alarms going off at all times because people didn't know to put water in when they microwaved ramen was a thing. A whole lot of kids have grown up never having made anything in the kitchen and either never watching or never having anyone around them who cooks. Now those kids are adults.
