Estimated Cost: $50–$100 to swap out What transpired was that an electric kettle was set on the stove. Let that sink in. An electric kettle was set on top of the oven. The kettle completely broke since this person obviously had a major mental breakdown and forgot what electricity meant. They will need to fix the hob in addition to replacing the kettle. For about $100, KitchenAid and @manjusinghal/Pinterest provide several excellent electric kettles. The kettle gets nicer the more you spend. I hope that this person doesn't put their new kettle near the stove again. What a dumb error, yet it does occur.

5. An Overlap

Estimated Cost: $10–$50 to swap out What took place was a shattered cutting board. This person's wooden cutting board snapped apart from the force with which they were chopping their fish. The cutting board must have had some prior flaws, and this fish head's chop-chop was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. A Step Above Pinterest/@boredpanda Depending on how upscale you want yours to be, cutting boards range in price from $10 to $50. But use caution when using wooden cutting boards. Because these boards are porous, bacteria can easily "in" and enter the grooves on them. If at all possible, choose a bamboo-made wooden board.

6. This Waffle Didn't Go Right

Estimated Cost: Cleaning Hours What transpired was that a waffle experiment went wrong. Was this waffle ever intended to be a waffle? What was placed inside this person's waffle maker? These practical devices, which are popular among Instagrammers and TikTok cooks, allow you to be very creative. This Waffle @TheSunOnline/Pinterest Went Awry However, there is a limit. The waffle machine did not react to this person's batter very well; it's unclear what they put in it, if any at all. Cleaning this up will take hours, if the device can be salvaged at all.
