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 don’t cook or bake often, but I love watching other people do it. I watched a video last week of a dude making “Thousand Layer Pancakes” which were layered thinly sliced potatoes. IDK how many he used, but he halfway vertically filled up a large sheet cake/lasagna pan with paper thin slices of potatoes, coated each layer with oil or butter and then baked it for like an hour or two. He said just layering the potatoes took like a half hour or so.
It looked good, but definitely not worth the effort.
