Added DiffLines:

The primary reasons for their failures can vary from case to case, but common culprits tend to be either too klutzy, or too experimental. The first case is prone to burning things, mixing the wrong (or non-edible) ingredients, forgetting important steps, or even negelcting the basic "wash your hands" before starting. The other type seems to function on the idea that using a cookbook or recipe is cheating or that they're otherwise nonexistent, and instead attempt to make something from scratch with whatever they think works best, failing to realize that not all foods are meant to be mixed together.

* ''WebAnimation/MoniRobo'':
** [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iXdDc1ETAJs&feature=youtu.be "My husband told me my cooking was disgusting…"]]: featured a zigzagged example. Sorao often accused Nano of being this and always happily praised his mother’s, Iyo’s, cooking. However, it soon becomes clear that Iyo doesn’t properly prepare the food (not cleaning fish and leaving vegetables undercooked) and overseasons her cooking, which Sorao grew used to. Everyone else immediately hates her food and vastly prefers Nano’s, complimenting her on cooking and seasoning everything perfectly, making her a SupremeChef instead.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfbvSPwg0SI "My mother-in-law broke my computer because she thought I was being lazy…"]]: When Nano returned to the house to confront her abusive, mother-in-law Iyo for slandering her to other moms when picking up Sakura from school on top of mooching off of her and Masayoshi, she opened the door to a lot of smoke that came out of the kitchen; she tried to shallow-fry chicken and ''left it unattended''. Turns out it wasn't the first time these kinds of accidents happened, as she did the same while boiling vegetables.

* [[ConversationalTroping Conversed]] in ''Podcast/MomCantCook'', which took its name from the number of Creator/DisneyChannel movies where the main character's mother would either be unable to cook at all or would prepare things like bowls of varietal tree bark regardless of the tastes of everyone else involved. At one point the hosts theorise that there was a New Agey healthy-eating fad in the late nineties that was popular with the wives of the people who wrote the movies. Naturally, they point it out whenever it shows up in the movie they're discussing, including cases like ''Genius'' where the main character's mother being unable to [[EndangeredSouffle keep a souffle from collapsing]] is ''the only thing we ever learn about her''.

* ''[[WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers SMG4]]'': Meggy Spletzer, whether she is an Inking or a cute anime girl, had been shown to be ridiculously bad at cooking.
** The first meal she ever made is only the least deadly thing she made: a mutated teleported bread loaf with tentacles, rusted railroad spikes, and what looked like a pile of rust flakes. Since then, all she ever did was cause fires and explosions.
** Her cooking is so terrible that even being asked to help Meggy with the oven made [[HorrifyingTheHorror Death run like hell!]] She once even exploded the entire kitchen before she can even start to cook!
** Even Mario, [[TooDumbToLive who would drink bleach or urine from a bottle]], [[EvenTheRatsWontTouchIt refuses to eat Meggy's soup]], something that should be simple to make!
** Even just diluting Meggy's cooking by turning it into an ingredient (ex. when Mario made cake) doesn't stop it from killing people, as shown when Tari committed Darwinism by eating a cake that used Meggy's cooking as frosting.
