Re: Ok bad cooking spinoff right here: what have you burned?
I'm sure even the best of cooks have an embarrassing mishap or two! This may not count but...
I am so bad at boiling eggs. I can't even count how many times I thought a boiled eggs was done and then surprise, surprise...yolk

Re: Ok bad cooking spinoff right here: what have you burned?
I was having a dinner party and burned the effing vodka sauce because I wasn't watching. I don't care what anyone says.. you can't salvage burnt sauce.. it just permeates the whole effing batch. I had to go out and BUY vodka sauce from the store. It was depressing.

Re: Ok bad cooking spinoff right here: what have you burned?
on the food board, i mentioned that i made cake balls... i called them "truffles"
well, it's because the cake stuck to the pan and it was ruined for regular cake.
luckily, those cake pops are so darn popular, i was able to save what i had baked.
in learning to make bread... i can not tell you how many bricks i've baked. i'm talking heavy dense bricks... you can build a house for the homeless with this stuff... i bet they are greatly insulated because they were so dense. my poor family... they ate every single one. i love them

Re: Ok bad cooking spinoff right here: what have you burned?
When I lived on my own I cooked a hamburger in a frying pan & burned it. There was so much smoke that the fire alarm that was wired to the security system went off...being a tenant, I couldn't answer the phone to tell them that all was OK so the fire dept showed up to inspect my poor, burned up hamburger...and to yell at me

Re: Ok bad cooking spinoff right here: what have you burned?
Well...this isn't really a "cooking" story really but it involves the oven/stove.
I set the ovens self cleaner for the first time since I've been living in my apartment (for a year at that point). The timer said it would take three hours so I went into the living room to watch TV. I ended up falling asleep and a horrible smell woke me up. I jumped up to see the kitchen FILLED with smoke and the smell was questionable.
I run into the kitchen to find my utensil holder (which I left on top of the stove) melted and toppled over. The holder itself was stainless steel but what I didn't know was that the bottom was plastic. It melted the bottom and all of the utensils inside that were plastic. I had to shut it off and wait for everything to cool down and harden..then I had to scrape off the plastic from the stove top.   
Not safe....I called my Dad almost in tears.

Re: Ok bad cooking spinoff right here: what have you burned?
I was drunk once and wanted to make tortellini alfredo (an Archer Farms mix from Target) which in itself was questionable at 2am. I fell asleep w/the mix on the stove and it BURNT so bad to the pot it took weeks to get the pot cleaned for days for the smell to go away.

Re: Ok bad cooking spinoff right here: what have you burned?
i was pregnant and home on bed rest (not really relevant but i am trying to blame this on preggo brain ) I was planning on making stove top stuffing but since it doesnt take very long I decided to prep it and just turn the microwave on when DH walked in. When he got home I put the microwave on and went into the bathroom. Four minutes later DH wanted to know ***** was burning in the microwave. The stovetop and the plastic container I had put it in was on fire and melting in my microwave. I forgot to add the water and butter. In my defense my thinking was that I didnt want to preadd the water and the butter since it might get all mushy I had to throw the microwave out and it took weeks for the burnt plastic smell to leave

Re: Ok bad cooking spinoff right here: what have you burned?
On Thanksgiving, with my whole family here I torched the marshmallows on top of my sweet potato casserole. I mean like ON FIRE. Put them in the broiler, walked away for a minute and bam!
Luckily I just ran outside with it, put the fire out, scooped it off, added more marshmallows and redid it. Came out perfect lmao!

Re: Ok bad cooking spinoff right here: what have you burned?
I've burned so many things in the past, but I thought of a friend when it came to this thread...
She wanted to heat up some food that was in a plastic leftover container. She put on the oven and put the container in...
Yep, fire alarm, horrible smell and melted plastic all over the oven!

Re: Ok bad cooking spinoff right here: what have you burned?
cookies... its very deceiving, i usually take a look and see they are underbaked and then will leave it in there for a few more min, next thing i know they are burnt.
