A woman's dinner-making TikTok tutorial took an unexpected turn when her brand new pot from Target collapsed right in front of her.
Shannen Gunning, a mum-of-two from New South Wales, told her followers: “I was just making a cute dinner tutorial and then it suddenly ended.”
“I bought this new pot today and it was only $10 from Target,” she said while sautéing vegetables.
But disaster struck when she added water and tomatoes to something like a bolognese mix. The bottom of the pot seemed to collapse and the entire bottom fell onto the stove with the food.
Mr Gunning turned to his off-camera partner with a shocked expression and shouted: “The pot broke…it broke.”

However, Target has since updated its product description and now categorizes it as “oven-to-table cookware” and says it is “oven, microwave, dishwasher and freezer safe” without mentioning stovetops. ing.
