Cooking Snafoos

[Royal Chick]

Okay this thread is about exactly what it says! I was thinking about it today because I have SUCCESSFULLY made two loaves of banana nut bread tonight! Some of my mot-so-successful attempts at things are
Spaghetti- set a pot of just WATER on fire
Rice- blackened rice cernals
Mac and cheese- burned a butter lid on the burner
Fish sticks- burned the palm of my hand grabbing the skillet and now have permanent callused like spots on my hands
Pop Tarts- Set the toaster on fire
The list just goes on and on and on. Not to mention the food I made that just DID NOT taste good! Has anyone else had any kitchen mishaps worth mentioning??? Funny stories are definitely welcome!

I dont mean to brag but i actually consider myself to be a pretty good cook.

My mom is aweful at cooking, and reallyyyyy lazy, so from a young age i kinda just taught myself to make good food. Ive also worked in a kitchen for two years now where ive learned alot of no-no's. Like pans that comes out of the oven or off the stove are HOTTT!!! haha, i see you learned that one though too

One time I was cooking and had no shirt on and pulled a cookie sheet out of the oven and touched the rim of it to my belly. Still have the scar and that was over 5 years ago lol

Do alcohol induced mishaps count?

Of course!

Attempting to make smores or other campfire snacks after youre already drunk requires a specific skill set!

I accidentally threw a frozen rat in the microwave instead of a burrito...

I'm a decent cook nowadays... but a few years ago when I was first starting I had a nasty habit of blowing things up lol.

My favorite was when I coated my parents house with butter...

I was making something in a frying pan (don't remember exactly what) but there was a good amount of hot butter in it. Without thinking I went over to the sink and put some cool water on the pan to cool it off a bit. (bad idea in the first place I'm lucky the pan didn't break) What resulted was the biggest cloud of butter infused steam imaginable. Pair this with a poorly placed AC return vent that sucked up a bunch of the steam and the fact that we didn't have a filter in the system (we were just about to replace the entire AC system the next day) and the result was every surface in the house getting a thin slippery coating of butter. It took weeks before it was all gone.

Serp Merc- That is BAD but impressive! lol
Vyprs- I had a friend who is now a Herpetologist that did that too, it ruined his microwave
Yes, drunk stories count!
Mike- I'm curious as to how that smores story ended
