i'll pay my check walk straight into the kitchen and shoot the cook cooking shows usually feature
skilled cooks but the food network's worst cooks in america is different the show highlights the
mayhem bad amateur cooks create when they are let loose in a kitchen brace yourself for the 15
most head-scratching moments from worst cooks in america teddy bear meatloaf hey mom the meatloaf
we want it now a contestant on worst cooks in america named david made a fateful decision to
make his own special version of meatloaf and mashed potatoes this hearty dish is classic
comfort food so you might be wondering what could be so wrong with it it turns out that quite a lot
could go wrong for some reason david decided to make a meatloaf shaped like a teddy bear well
it was supposed to look like the cuddly stuffed animal but unfortunately the finished product
ended up looking a lot more like dried up roadkill than a stuffed bear something wrong with meatloaf
more importantly it certainly didn't look like anything you would want to eat to be a successful
cook your food has to taste good but it should also look appealing unfortunately for david his
attempt to make a teddy bear meatloaf definitely failed the eyeball test he might have had high
hopes for his creative take on meatloaf but instead it became one of the most head-scratching
moments from worst cooks in america rainbow sprinkles come on twinkle twinkle baby twinkle
twinkle one of the contestants came up with an interesting take on a shrimp dish that won't soon
be forgotten shrimp is always a popular ingredient with foodies and cooks alike but this doesn't mean
it can't be easily ruined in the wrong hands the young woman in question decided to make a shrimp
dish with a medley of vegetables including carrots and potato wedges potatoes you might be thinking
so far so good but then she kept going for some reason she decided to top off her seafood dish
with a generous helping of rainbow sprinkles this seems more like the kind of cooking decision made
by a six-year-old kid who loves sprinkles than by an aspiring cook of course sprinkles are delicious
and can be a great addition to many kinds of desserts but this wannabe cook has proven why
sprinkles don't go with everything don't drink and cook boy that escalated quickly we all know about
the danger posed by drinking and driving but what about drinking and cooking on the food network
if the contestants on worst cooks in america are any indication the network should encourage
contestants to avoid hitting the sauce too heavy when they're working in the kitchen keep it moving
it seems like a lot of the contestants have sipped a bit of the cooking wine during the show
but one contestant named jenny decided to indulge a little too much her cooking skills were in doubt
to begin with and adding alcohol to the mix did nothing to improve her results in the kitchen
however you could probably find some cooks that insist they work better in the kitchen with a few
drinks in them drinking and cooking can be a risky behavior and result in some less than tasty dishes
jailhouse burrito this burrito is delicious but it is filling prisoners have been known to make their
own version of wine and other alcoholic drinks while spending time in jail does jailhouse wine
mean there's a place for jailhouse burritos a contestant on worst cooks in america thought
a burrito assembled from a selection of odds and ends and wrapped in paper towel would be
appealing to the judges for some reason this shady burrito had to be left sitting with a weight on it
for a while before it was ready to eat but it's probably best to just leave it at that
i will get you your chicken burrito burritos are a popular and versatile item that provide cooks with
an opportunity to be creative but this cook seemed to go out of his way to commit a culinary crime
he probably won't have to do jail time for his discretion but his jailhouse burrito is going to
do some time on the list of most head-scratching moments from worst cooks in america
dog food is that dog spit how could there be so much contestants on cooking shows like worst
cooks in america have been known to use some unconventional ingredients in their recipes
but one contestant in particular has gone to the dogs the contestant in question was met with shock
and disbelief from the judges when she revealed her favorite ingredient to use in the kitchen
for some inexplicable reason she loves to use dog food in her recipes what the idea
of using dog food and recipes might sound like an unappetizing joke to foodies and cooks alike
but she wasn't kidding she insisted she was being serious about her strange choice you
have to wonder what she was thinking but it's also a reminder that you never really know what
ingredients might be in any particular dish the decision to use dog food in a recipe is definitely
one of the most head-scratching moments from worst cooks in america playing with knives all right
guys your time starts now there are certain basic skills that all aspiring cooks just have to master
one of these basic skills is how to use a knife properly one of the contestants on worst cooks
in america had a lot of trouble with this basic skill and it cost her the contestant was having a
lot of trouble cutting vegetables until one of the judges realized she was using the dull side of the
knife instead of the sharpened edge obviously the contestant seemed confused even after her hapless
cutting technique was pointed out to her this is such a silly mistake for even a bad cook to make
that it's likely her nerves just got the better of her in the heat of the moment shattered glass
you're all failing right now congratulations on your epic fail safety is an important
consideration when you're working in the kitchen whether you're trying a new recipe at home or
competing on an episode of worst cooks in america sharp utensils and open flames mean you have to
stay on your toes and you also have to use the right pans when you put food into a very hot oven
one of the contestants failed to follow this rule and paid a heavy price you screwed up her recipe
was completely ruined when the glass dish she was using shattered into pieces inside the oven she
lost the pan her recipe and she had to clean up a very messy oven when you find your oven filled
with shattered glass and dripping food you know things have gone very wrong in the kitchen candy
dish see five oh fum give me all your candy and gum contestants on the popular cooking
shows on the food network have come up with some off-the-wall recipes some are more off the wall
than others and heating up chocolate candies in a pan has to be one of the most head-scratching
this is the kind of desperation move a cook would make who has run out of good ideas
perhaps the cook was hoping to get some points for creativity but it was no surprise that the judges
found the cooked candy to be an absolute failure well done slytherin well done slytherin however
even if a candy won't melt in your mouth it will definitely melt when you heat it up in a pan
chocolate candy's a popular treat so it's a shame to see it wasted in a misguided attempt to come up
with a winning dish the melted candy was clearly destined to be a loser with the viewers as well
as the judges love connection he says i love you what i love you i love you too bobby flay
is a well-liked celebrity chef and judge on foo network's hit television show worst cooks
in america a contestant named carla seemed to like bobby flay a little too much and she wasn't at all
shy about letting everyone know about her feelings carla repeatedly insisted that the only reason she
wanted to be on the show at all was so she can meet her crush in the flash to his credit mr
flay took all the extra attention in stride when carla ended up being part of his team on the show
it's hard to see how carla could have been any happier with the way things turned out for her
to carla's everlasting delight she finally got her once in a lifetime chance at her love connection
and it became one of the most head-scratching moments from worst cooks in america
cooking oil so which one's olive oil whether it's virgin olive oil corn oil or canola oil
these cooking oils are a basic ingredient that all cooks are familiar with when they get in a kitchen
apparently all cooks except a contestant named ellen may be her failure to understand the correct
uses of cooking oils explains how she ended up on a cooking show called worst cooks in america
let's do this it isn't as though ellen failed to master a complicated technique or fail to
identify an exotic ingredient only experts would know about she was stumped by a bottle of cooking
oil and there's no way to spin this prescription for failure no i couldn't because i'm blind
it's clear that the contestants on worst cooks in america are under a tremendous amount of stress to
perform well no one who watches this food network show would be surprised that the contestants will
try just about anything to get an edge on their competition a contestant named donna was having
trouble seeing what she was doing even when she was wearing her glasses do you see me
in an attempt to solve the problem she came up with an interesting fix donna tried wearing a
second pair of glasses over the first pair in a misguided effort to see better needless to say
her innovative plan didn't work very well and she continued to struggle on the show
maybe donna needed a better prescription but many people would agree that she also needed
some better cooking skills whether she had perfect eyesight or not quick grilled cheese hey baby give
me a grilled cheese deluxe and make it snappy worst cooks in america featured a contestant
named kendra who was a playboy model before she appeared on the food network her considerable
success in front of the camera as a model clearly did not translate into the same success in the
kitchen there are many variations on the classic grilled cheese sandwich different kinds of bread
different combinations of cheeses and other tasty fillings it's actually kind of hard
to mess up grilled cheese unless you literally have no idea what you're doing in the kitchen
damage this was apparently the case with kendra because her grilled cheese recipe called for
putting the sandwich in a blender her somewhat unique take on grilled cheese is hard to believe
and the judges never got an explanation that made any sense what does make sense is that it became
one of the most head-scratching moments from worst cooks in america awkward all right let's
have kendra and chris step up food network wants worst cooks in america to be an entertaining show
but the network also wants to keep things focused on food and be family friendly as much as possible
the judges and the contestants have to interact a lot on the show while under considerable pressure
and this can be tough on everyone everyone usually behaves themselves for the most part
however sometimes things can get a little out of control like the time anne the judge blindfolded
a contestant named chris so he could do a proper taste test you embarrass me there's nothing wrong
with a blind taste test until someone takes it too far like chris did and then things can get awkward
real fast this failure to keep things professional on the show is why everyone should keep the
blindfolds off when they're in the kitchen food as art these are actually crepes pancakes with
a french spin crepes are really just fancy thin french pancakes but can they also be a form of art
one of the judges on worst cooks in america was able to hold up a plate of sticky burned
crepes like it was a picture the wrecked food was hopelessly stuck to the plate like a bug squashed
on a windshield the judge sarcastically referred to the failed dish as an example of modern art
allow me to destroy your gallery the dish might have been art but it certainly wasn't anywhere
near being edible maybe the judge's description was a little mean even for a reality program
but it made for delicious television you know your recipe has gone very wrong when it's derided
by a judge as a take on modern art rachel ray what's going on here rachel ray is well known
in the world of food television and she has inspired a lot of people to cook and eat better
she is certainly a skilled chef with plenty of experience but she's also known for her big
bubbly personality she's also been known to show off her dancing skills a bit too much on food
network's worst cooks in america with all the antics that come from the contestants as they
struggle to master their recipes it seems like the judges would be better off providing a calming
to counter the chaos the show goes on however sometimes people like rachel
ray just end up adding to the chaos rachel ray is going to be rachel ray and her fans
wouldn't have it any other way because she makes for good television tune in to
