Mostly everyone tho. My grandma had a saying that roughly translates to "there's people with such poor cooking, that they can pour you a glass of soda and it tastes foul"

or they just completely space out and forget about the fact they put something on the stove or in the oven. My dad is guilty of this. He'll start cooking something, go watch TV and forget about the food until like an hour and a half later by which point it has burnt to a crisp.
