I just had a kitchen disaster. What was your worst one?

I decided to make muffins.

I can't drink milk any longer, so I made the muffins with Rice Dream instead. I used cake flour (don't know how old it was...maybe more than two years?) because that is supposed to make the muffins more light and fluffy.

I was forced to use my really, really old baking powder, because I keep forgetting to buy new.

I used paper muffin cups so I would not have a mess to clean up. I put two cups of chocolate chips into the batter to make chocolate chip muffins. I used a Pillsbury recipe, and I followed directions exactly , and they should have come out fine....but they just suck.

The muffin batter glued itself to the muffin cups. The paper on the bottom has turned to cement, and the only way to get it off is to cut it off with a steak knife. I don't have any idea how that happened.

The muffins themselves are dense like gnocchi with chocolate chips, and the outside of the tops of the muffins is actually hard and crunchy and the outside chocolate chips turned to...chocolate powder.

AND I made two dozen so I could freeze them....LOL!!!馃槣

So, my most common disaster is:
I am boiling water in a pot,
and I forget,
and it's still ON
and the pot is hot AF
and it's mildly warped by now (at the bottom). Still functional though ;)

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON I did the same thing with a cheap pot once, and the bottom actually warped OFF the pot. 馃槣
@4meAndyou I am glad to hear you had no fire!

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON I get on the computer working on family trees and I forget I am cooking! I've bought a timer now, and it still amazes me when it starts beeping. I say to myself, "What's that noise???" 馃槀
@4meAndyou OMG...Sounds a tad like me: I got eggs on, and zone out on the puter...馃槀...And then the smell...or the sizzle rofl.

Yeah. It takes me a while to get used to new sht too. I am really a creature of habit, for one :)

Thanks for a great idea.
Dollar stores will have them, I wager.

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON They do have them, but I have already broken that one. I had to invest in something a little bit sturdier. 馃槉
@4meAndyou So, Walmart? :D

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON I can't really remember. I think I was on ebay and ordered it. It was around 7.99 and it's not fancy, but so far I haven't been able to break it! LOL!!!
@4meAndyou Ok. Yeah. I buy stuff from E bay or Amazon.

Apparently I have Amazon prime, and I don't exactly recall ordering it.
I know I inquired about it on the site, but I think I actually, inadvertently may have ordered it. 馃槼馃槓馃お
Wow. I need to verify with them.

But this small thing, I will purchase locally.
