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.

    I once made vegan Mac and cheese, and it was soooo good. But I will never make it again because it was just too much work for the pay off. I also hate cooking so…

      What made it take a lot of work?

      Regular mac and cheese you just boil noodles, make a sauce, dump it in a baking dish, put in the oven.

      Was the vegan sauce extra complicated?

        Yeah there were a ton of things I needed to buy for the sauce and all the prep.

        I’m not vegan, I just wanted to try it. Compared to traditional Mac n cheese the payoff was not worth it (as long as eating non vegan isn’t an issue) imo.
