We are currently in the midst of one of the most food-centric times of the year, and for many people that means spending more hours than usual in the kitchen. Seeing as you are often cooking for many different people and there are a lot of different elements to take into consideration, it can make the whole process more stressful than the average hastily assembled weeknight dinner. It is important to remember to time everything correctly, and also not cave into the pressure. Cooking memes can help with that as they create humor out of both our culinary successes and failures. They reveal how not every kitchen adventure is going to have a happy ending, but sometimes, it is the process (and the humor we can make out of it) that counts. That food isn't going to waste if it is possible to get an image macro with a punchline out of it.
