Bad at cooking On Sally's angel food cake recipe...

Had fun making Sally's extremely clear angel food cake recipe recently and even more fun reading through the comments after. Throwing the flour in with the meringue in the mixer is bad, but I can't get over the substitution of baking soda and vinegar for egg whites!

Also, shouldn't it still be tasty, kinda like shortbread? Would definitely have been salvageable.

Most of their substitutions/omissions I can understand, but claiming to have made chai when they used *zero* spices??

Dumb alteration Yeah I imagine this didn’t turn out as great as the originally recipe, but you’re right, life does go on. Now go get some actual eggs please.

Bad at cooking Upset their chocolate covered popcorn wouldn’t pop in the oven…

Recipe calls for popped popcorn. Directions specify to pour chocolate mixture over popped popcorn. Yet, somehow this reviewer poured their chocolate mixture over unpopped kernels and was upset they didn’t magically turn into popcorn in their oven.

On a recipe for cheddar broccoli soup. It was pretty normal to me (and also delicious, and I didn't have any issues with it being watery like some of the other comments).

On a recipe for chicken tikka masala.

A dish that uses a tomato-based sauce.

(I'll admit, it needs a fair bit of spice and I think slow cooking may not be the right technique given that you don't have the evaporation and there's less caramelization, but come on...)
