Have you ever tried a recipe that turned out to go horribly wrong, or maybe the end product, despite being good, just wasn’t worth the effort? What was that recipe, and what about it made you say “NEVER AGAIN”?

I ask this as I am actively trying to remove the stench of onions from my Instapot lid’s silicone ring after making French Onion Soup in it (so far steaming it with white vinegar on the steam setting, soaking the ring in a water/baking soda bath overnight, and baking it at 250 degrees F for 20 minutes have all done nothing, so I ordered a new one, I give up). And I realized that cutting all the onions and waiting hours for them to caramelize and now this damn smell issue just isn’t worth it. Plus I still have frozen soup in the freezer because I can only eat French Onion soup so many days in a row.

NEVER AGAIN.

    Fucking cauliflower vegan “wings” they were the nastiest, smelliest, mushiest pile of gross I have ever tasted.

    I have a dog who is a rescue, she was severely neglected when we first got her as a foster and her file stated she had to eat her own feces in order to survive at the place she was rescued from. Well, those cauliflower wings I just told you about? She sniffed them and gagged!! That’s how bad they were.

      cauliflower wings properly made are amazing, but you should definitely not follow a recipe that results in nasty mush 😆

      Sounds like you fucked something up when making them. I’m not vegan but I’ve tried them and they’re ok when done properly. Not special, but okay and far from vile garbage.

        Yeah, probably. Still, they smelled like zombie farts so I stir clear away from trying them again but to each their own.

      Similarly, cauliflower steak. I followed some recipe that just turned it into a brick of balsamic vinegarette and, while I love both cauliflower and balsamic vinaigrette, this was not delicious nor did it taste like steak.
