Everytime I am in the kitchen, there is bound to be a disaster of some sort. The latest is, I was trying to make scrambled egg, I put the oil in a pan and was whisking the egg when a phone rang. I answered and ten minutes later the whole kitchen was like a black mushroom, the non-sticky coating melt and the ceiling needed repainting!

I made little Dennis The Menace cups cakes for my son's whole class on his birthday - and put far too much water in the icing mix. Those poor children were faced with these repulsive looking brown lumps that looked like something a cat would leave in a litter tray.

When I first got married, I cooked a Sunday roast dinner and served it and put the roasting tin back in the oven and forgot about it and after 4 days, there were maggots crawling out the oven in a trail across the kitchen. Never again did it happen.

Beer Soup. Some friends and I decided to have a German-themed evening, and I looked up some recipies and found one for Beer Soup, which sounded interesting. I should have thought it through. It called for Flat beer, sugar, cinamon and egg.
That's exactly what it tasted like - Slightly sweet, warm flat beer with bits of egg in it!

Honestly - cooking outdoors and using shampoo to fry chips rather than oil (both the same colour, and it was dark and they were in the same bottles).
Or dropping a complete meal on the floor while stranded at work and couldn't get another because I was by myself.
Or my mother when she tried to fry chips in 1970's, and burnt the kitchen out, it was a listed building.

I had something simmering and got a call about my grandmother going to the ER and left....came back 5 hours later to a house that had caught on fire. I had no air currculating in the house so the fire smoothered itself out......after awhile I had to replace everything in the kitchen and major smoke damage in the rest of the house.

Cooking for housemates while at University. Took the meal out of the oven and dropped it all on the floor. You guessed right, I picked up as much as I could get away with and served it. They never knew (until now....ooops)

I put everything for tea in the new pressure cooker which we had been given as a wedding present.I set the timer & the weights but didn't know I had to put it on the hob to heat it up to cook it all.I thought once the weights & timer had been set-it did it all by itself!
