More than one in ten home owners, have caused damage to their kitchen, after imitating celebrity chefs from TV, with 14 per cent saying they had copied techniques from shows such as fast chopping and tenderising meat.
The findings were comprised by Esure home insurance and found that despite 73 per cent of people stating they were 'amateur' or 'useless' chefs, 75 per cent, would still attempt a complex culinary technique, not only risking injury, but also racking up more than £5 billion worth of damage to UK homes.
Tony Tobin, BBC's Ready Steady Cook Celebrity chef said: "It's great to see that kitchens across the country are becoming hubs of creative cookery. However, all celebrity chefs have had years of training and people at home must remember this when attempting to recreate any dishes they see on TV.
Mike Pickard, Head of Home Insurance for Esure home insurance, said: "The kitchen is one of the most dangerous rooms in a house - but adding a budding home cook and a technical recipe can make the likelihood of having an accident soar. Having ample buildings and contents insurance plus accidental damage cover, to foot the bill of any kitchen mishaps, is definitely worthwhile."
