FACT: More Than Half of Americans Suck at Cooking

A new survey studied how people ruin easy-to-make foods, and found that 56% can’t do the simplest of cooking.

Although nearly 71 % confidently consider themselves natural-born cooks, 83% of those who mess up “easy” dishes shared that it makes them feel like a failed chef.

The hardest “easy” meal for 38% was pancakes…respondents struggling getting the batter solid.

Meanwhile, others said they have hard times with foods like eggs (36%), pasta (35%), mashed potatoes (30%) or sweet potatoes (30%).

Over 25% of respondents said Dinner/Supper is the most difficult meal to make (28%).
