plus if you’re not an experienced cook and don’t really know what you’re doing (hell, even if you do and you make a simple mistake), a ruined meal means all those ingredients and all the money spent on them go to waste.
As someone who only learned to cook as an adult, my experience has been that if you’re careful it’s nearly impossible to ruin a meal. Even if you mess up the spices it’s probably salvageable, and with a timer having food burn is really not a concern.

Agreed, so long as you use good ingredients to start with the resulting meal is almost always passable at the very least.
