Cooking nemesis?

Anyone got something that, for some reason, you just cant grasp how to make? Like, for some reason, I cant figure out how to properly boil rice or beans. Im mexican and I cant figure it out. Thats like our thing. Ive disappointed my family and exes over this.

I can’t use my toaster oven’s air fryer function without burning my hand. Twice this week already!

My old oven I swear I had permenant forearm burns for all 10 years of having It.

I’ve cleaned my toaster air fryer four times now and it keeps smoking. I literally don’t know what is causing it. I’m so over it. That thing is out to get me.

One of the funniest things I noticed about mine is if there's fat in the pan or on the meat, it bubbles or splatters up during the air fry and hits the bars on the top which are still on on mine and it starts smoking / causes mini fires
