I was making hot wings for a party and my brothers girfriend wanted to help....well we were all drunk and she went to bring the wings out of the oven and dropped them. All over the oven and my kitchen floor, I had about 10 people in the kitchen while she tried cleaning it, I told her to move and not to worry about it I'll do it...well she got upset and tackled me....RIGHT IN THE HOT WING SAUCE MESS!! Of course everyone thought it was funny and let us go at it! I finally pinned her, told her I had it, we hugged, and cleaned up....My kitchen looked so bad the next day!

Cool question - it was so much fun to read all the answers!
My mistake was such a waste! I was making homemade chicken soup, when it was done, I took out the chicken and vegetables, and went to strain the broth. I put the strainer in the sink, and poured in the broth from the pot - it went right down the drain! I forgot to put another pot under the strainer! I just could not believe I had done that!
I'll share my mom's as well. When she was first married in the 1940s, she thought she would make a puffed wheat cake. She said she thought it odd there were no instructions for baking so she put it in the oven at 350 for an hour!
From my oldest sister when first married - tried to make "fried rice" by just putting the dry rice in a pan and frying it.

I was in the checkout aisle of a grocery store, and saw this fabulous cake on the cover of a magazine that I just had to have. Being that I am a pretty great cook, I figured it would be no problem. It was some raspberry black forest cake. I bought all the ingredients, which included Chambord, and went home to make this fabulous cake. I followed EVERY instruction to a T. End result? The freaking cake was inedible!!! Later I went over the receipt and realized that cake, magazine, and Chambord had cost me $35.00. I then tried to bribe my kids to eat the cake. They burst into tears because they were afraid of the "big black cake" Needless to say, my husband and I still get a laugh over the $35.00 cake. Whenever I tell him I am going to bake a cake for desert, he will ask me how much is this one gonna cost me?

We were students and thought we'd do a posh meal, we got Delia out and chose some recipes, we got all the stuff but hadn't properly factored in the time, and must have been one of the longest, boozy dinners ever, the onion soup took ages, we had to reduce the onions, can remember everyone taking turns swsihing them around. The meat took about another 3/4 hour, I cant rememebr what we didi about pudding! I think wine blocked it out!

When I tried to make fried bread I did the usual by using dough and putting it in a frying pan... I walked away from the kitchen after a minute only to forget that I was cooking that bread on a frying pan leaving it on a low skillet! So I walked away and ended up cleaning the house, 10 minutes later I noticed smoke was in the house but had no idea why, so I tried to remember what I was doing last and finally remember and saw my bread burnttttttttttttt pitch blackkkkk!

I had visitors once and, as we were going out, decided I would try to be clever and set the oven on timer so a joint of pork would be nearly cooked when we returned some hours later. To this day I'm not sure how I got it wrong but we returned to find our joint had become a charred cube of pork. That was the last time I ever used the auto timer!
I also forgot to take the turkey out of the freezer one christmas. Whoops!

First and most memorable was a fish curry. It was done strictly following the recipe. The result was something that was horribly reminiscent of vomit.
The second and far more entertaining was a Pavlova. We had recently bought a microwave and were experimenting with recipes. The result was something that could replace araldite for stickiness and resistance to cleaning chemicals.

Had a hot dog blow up in the microwave once, which was probably the messiest mistake I've made. I also accidentally put a bag of microwave popcorn in for 3 times longer than I should have, and the whole place filled with smoke. I've made cookies that were so burnt that looked like oreos, but were supposed to be chocolate chip.

I once put so much salt into a dish that in order to quench my thirst I drank two large bottles of water, but my guest where to polite to say a thing and ate the meal which tasted like eating a salt brick!
The other time was when I covered my kitchen in a mixture that I had put into my blender and the top went flying, two days before the gunk was cleared completely.
Needless to say I learnt my lessons very quickly.

When I first moved in to my flat as a student, I decided I was going to be very sensible and mature and cook my dinner. So I got the frying pan out, threw a couple of eggs in....and forgot the oil. Needless to say the smell was terrible and I was scraping bits off the pan for days!

Cooking a roast dinner for 8. When I was taking the joint out of the oven it slipped out of my hands and all the fatty juice from the meat covered the kitchen floor. The floor was like an ice rink for a week!!
