My worst disaster was when i was a teenager and just getting into cooking.I wanted to make lasagne but i took the packet instructions a bit to literally and kept adding lasgne sheets long after i had used all the sauce.The result was something that could easily have taken the weight of The longest queue at MacDonald's.A power saw couldn't have cut into it.

I came to work one morning, decided to make some cheese toast in the toaster oven. I forgot about it. The toaster automatically cut off when the time was up but I set it too high. It was on fire literally, flaming smoke filled the kitchen and set off all of the smoke detectors. It wouldn't have been so bad except that I work at the fire dept.
My children love pancakes and syrup. My oldest daughter tried to make some from scratch I told her how. When they were done she gave some to my other children and they wouldn't eat them. I was suprised because my 8 year old eats anything and my 4 year old loves pancakes. I tasted them and they were terrible. I asked my oldest what she had done and I realized that instead of putting 1 tsp of baking powder in the mix she put 1 tbs of baking soda in the mix. Anyone ever tasted baking soda can imagine the taste. I buy box mix for her now.

One night my freind & I were really drunk & she told me she was really hungry. I said not to worry I'd cook her something quick (big mistake when you're drunk) !! Well I took a small pizza out of the freezer (they were for the oven only) & stuck it in the microwave for 12 minutes !!!!! That was how long it was supposed to go in the oven for not the microwave. Well the next thing we know my partner was running down the stairs shouting 'what's all that smoke' !!! My friend & I were so drunk we hadn't noticed the smoke, or the smell for that matter coming from the kitchen but my partner had & he was all the way upstairs. The poor boy had thought the house was burning down !! When I opened the microwave both the plate & the pizza were black & the pizza was actually stuck to the plate !! After a good telling off from my boyfreind I vowed never to cook whilst drunk again !!!!!

Every day is a disaster. I once cooked a roast dinner and got all stressed when everything was done but the meat. I couldn't get it to go brown and decided to serve up anyway. My husband said that was the nicest pork I've ever had. I thought I was cooking beef...

When I first started baking ( I was 12), I misread the recipe and instead of 1 teaspoon of baking soda, I added 1 cup. The cake was very salty but my dad tried to spare my feelings and ate his piece anyway.

OK,many years ago, I decided to surprise the family (Mom, Dad and sister) and bake Christmas cookies. I remember getting the basic sugar cookie recipe and got them laid out on the pan and then continued to decorate them. I decorated with frostings, coconuts, colored sprinkles, just about everything I could find. They were so pretty. ... Then, I baked them. DOH! I didn't realize that you do not decorate until AFTER they come out of the oven. Needless to say, they were not the works of art I had created after they were cooked !

One time i wanted to bake a whole eggplant in the oven. After about 15 minutes, i heard this loud bang. The eggplant had exploded and was all over the oven. I had forgotten to prick it first. What a mess!

I was trying to do an Indian dinner, and was having trouble finding a dessert recipe. So I made something called vermicelli pudding. Everybody hated it. Cold gloppy noodles. Maybe it's an acquired taste.

when I was a kid,my sisters used to do all the cooking.They could burn anything!In fact the only things they didn't burn was anything that didn't require heat or fire.I use to tell this lie for laughs;'One day I was invited to eat over a friends house.Afterwards I came back home and my parents asked me if I had a good time,to which I said,"yes,they are nice people,but they eat their food raw!". They were soo terrible that they could burn water.

There are two......one Thanksgiving, we decided to deep fry our turkey...for 3 hours. Its was burnt to the bone and the dog wouldn't even eat it. That same Christmas, we put the ham in the oven with the plastic still on it. My mom said she thought it looked a little shiny, but it was still good in the middle!
