Cooking disasters
What cooking disasters have you had?
The other day, I poured a jug of cold water into a pan of boiling water, whilst the hob was on and wondered why the water turned into steam and flared up. DURR! When I was at secondary school, we had to make a chocolate bar for an assignment but I later realised that I'd left out one of the ingredients. Was not happy. ![]() Also, burnt a piece of toast to smithereens. |

I made these biscuits in Home Economics once, using the ingredients my mum had given me, and instead of measuring the bicarbonate of soda out, I used the lot, and ended up with what looked like huge crunchy pancakes

![]() What did it taste like? The bottom was really strange, like no crust and a gaping side missing. |

When I was younger I tried to make Coq au Vin by boiling some chicken legs in red wine. The taste and smell was ungodly

There's many, but the worst was probably when I felt inspired to do a dinner party (no, I've no idea why), I didn't actually realise that you had to fully defrost the chicken before cooking. Yes, they're still my friends, and no, I'm not allowed to cook for them anymore
![]() I also once defied the laws of physics (or something) by managing to cook a birthday cake for my mum that still had lumps of raw butter in it, after it had been in the oven for ages ![]() Cooking, I don't do so good. |

I once overcooked some rice and ended up with a disgusting amorphous mass.

I once heard a loud bang from the kitchen and when I looked what it was I realised the eggs I had left boiling were now stuck to the kitchen ceiling !!!

I did a pan of fried onions to go with Hot Dogs. As I took it off the hob I dropped it and in trying to catch it threw it halfway across the kitchen. Still finding bits of onion to this day!

Christmas day morning, came in from next door after having our usual neighbourly glass of spirit, took the Turkey out of the oven and dropped it on the floor, fat everywhere, skated around the kitchen floor for the rest of Christmas day.

My worst ever cooking disaster was when I was putting some pasta in the microwave, and the instructions said to add milk to the mix, which I did. Even though I had measured out and added the correct amount of milk, when the microwave had finished cooking, all I ended up with was a boiling hot and extremely sloppy mess!

At school in food tech I once had to make soup. I was only 12 and I didn't know that you had to add water to stock cubes. I took an enormous bowl to school to transport this huge quantity of soup home and ended up with a tiny blob of soup in the bottom of the bowl. I guess I inadvertently made condensed soup.
