What's a recipe that you will NEVER make again?

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.

NEVER put lemon juice in an omelette. Absolutely disgusting. Once tried it, not following any recipe. Never again.

I've never seen an omelette recipe call for lemon juice, that does sound totally gross.

I do suggest adding a splash of lemon juice or vinegar to the water when boiling eggs tho. Makes them much easier to peel.
