What was your worst cooking disaster?

Cant say i have a worst because i have a few disasters. Back in 1988 when i started living with my first wife, before we got married, i decided to cook us tea for her to come home from work to. It consisted of jacket potato, sweetcorn and peas. She came home and i put tea out....she asked straight away where the meat was....my reply was....Are you supposed to have meat with it? Then i found that we needed a jackhammer to get through the jacket potato...i had put 2 big jacket potatoes in the microwave for 10 mins, thats all i thought it would take. Moving on some years i am now married to my 2nd wife and i tried to cook a simple tea of corned beef stew. Well i put it on and sat to watch a bit of tv while it cooked. After a while i smelled it and it wasnt nice. It had boiled dry and burned....one pan ruined. I made some more and didnt realise you had to stir it from time to time, it burned again. Another time my wife asked me to make some cowl for tea (welsh stew) which consisted of braising steak, leek, carrots, potatoes and swede. I dished it up for us for tea....on a plate (supposed to be in a bowl) and she asked me where the juice is so i told her i put it down the sink. Next thing she askes me if anything was wrong with the swede, i said nothing wrong as far as i know. There was though.....apparently you are supposed to peel it first. I didnt, i just sliced it and cut it into bits but didnt know your supposed to peel it first. My cooking skills are not good lol oh, and another one came to mind.....i bought a pizza to cook and when i got home i put it in the oven, not problem so far. I was, however, to find out that it is a good idea to take it off the polystyrene base it came on before you try to cook it.

I have had many. The MOST food I ruined all at once was a big pot of spaghetti sauce filled with 12 sausages and the same number of meatballs. I added the sugar early in the cooking, and the whole pot was ruined.

There seemed to follow a period where I burned almost every pot of veggies I tried to cook. I was far too distracted and couldn't even remember to set the timer...🤣🤣🤣

Awwwww,

My dog would have made sure it wasn't wasted :)

I made fried eggs over easy for my brother in law and they turned out perfect with bacon, hashbrowns, toast. I was bringing it to him and tripped, spilling it all over the rug. What a mess. 😩

5 second rule

I made these fancy melted sugar decorations for a desert for some friends who came round for dinner. Whilst it looked nice, the decorations were like cement when we ate them, and practically glued our jaws together.

@BizSuitStacy d The first time I made fried chicken for my husband. I wanted it to look like the Wesson commercial so I fried it on low for an hour turning it constantly. It was beautiful but absolutely no meat left. The poor guy ate it. Now it's one my best meals

Hmmmm ????

(1) the time I punched 18 minutes on high on the microwave rather than 18 seconds to just make the coffee a little warmer, and then got distracted ...... untill !!!!!

(2) not really cooking, but bringing in the groceries and the handhold for a 12 pack of soft drinks failed, and the carton fell, hit the floor and exploded.

(3) also not cooking, but in the kitchen, when a super sized, open container of liquid Tide got knocked over and enough soap for 120 loads of laundry coated the kitchen floor.

Shortly after we were married my wife was cooking a big meal. Her parents were coming to visit and she was cooking a large roast beef and all the trimmings. Then she wanted to make some cookies. Problem: The roast was in the oven and there was no room to bake the cookies. My dad suggested that she put the cookies in the microwave. Microwaves were very new and neither Dad or Dear Wife were all that familiar with them. They cooked the cookies and then cooked them a little longer when the cookies didn't look brown. The pale cookies cooled and then the big test. Dad almost broke a tooth on the charcoal center of the cookie. The microwave had blackened the middle of the cookie but left the outside looking raw.

The bacon is still just fine...and the top part of the eggs.

Once I was preparing Biriyani and while the rice was getting boiled in cooker I thought I could go for a bath and come within 5-7 mins before it gets completely boiled.But my mind had other ideas.5-6 minutes into the bathroom,I legit forgot completely about the Biriyani and spent almost 30-40 minutes and you know what happens after I remember about the Biriyani.

Three second rule.

I did that with a pizza once. Dropped it right at my boss's feet

This could be the start of a new diet plan.😀

Oh no. I've done that with grilled fish.

Put a frozen pizza in the oven upside down..yes i was drunk

I used baking soda instead of baking powder once.....

How funny. The same thing happened to me a couple of nights ago. I had a dinner late full of food which was apparently closer to the edge of the counter than I thought. Next thing I know, everything is on the floor.

Ah. Fuck me. Thats not on. 🥲

When I tried to make red velvet cake with my then toddler and she pulled the batter all over herself and the thick rug. I never could get that red batter fully out of the rug.

Most recent, I forgot to poke holes in it.

Potato grenade.

This was a “ save”! I snatched it from disaster-dom, I did. If I did something and it was a disaster, it made the acquaintance of the garbage. Anyway, ergo, the “ save”!…

Bummer

When the coals just plain refused to light properly and the bbq didn't cook right. Blah! 🤕

Trying to make cookies without any sugar or flour. Never again.

ribs. i didn't let them cook enough

I was going to make chocolate chip cookie cups using an inverted muffin tin. Big mess.

I have done that a few times but it at least made the dog very happy...............clean up on aisle one.😂

I once put salt in a cake mix instead of sugar.

For me it was the 1st time I tried to cook for a girl was in high school fixed spaghetti and meatballs
Spaghetti was way over cooked and so was meatballs knew nothing about wine was horrible

When i was newly married i cooked one plump looking chicken for 8 people. It shrunk by about a third and i had to order in some food to feed the hungry people

BBQ 2 big steaks

These birds are like pests in my area
