The responses have left readers confused, with most in disbelief at how many people fail to follow simple instructions – or realize that they may be the ones who messed up.
One showed a recipe for slow-cooked beef, which one woman changed so much that she made an entirely new dish.
The avid chef posted a five-star review, calling the dish “delicious” and listing her substitutes – including using ground turkey for steak, ketchup instead of soy sauce and eating it on an open hamburger bun instead of rice.
In response, one confused person wrote, “Not even remotely the same recipe… weird.”
Some low-star ratings were given to donut recipes by people who said they actually don’t like doughy treats at all, while others asked what steps they should skip to ensure the recipe would still work.

“Other ingredients are fine to use and the gravy will still taste good to your dog,” they continued.
“Also, when I cook chicken, I save the stock for later use in my dog meals.”
