| 9 | So funny. That poor woman sitting on the floor in an attitude of hopeless despair, surveying the mess from her dropped crockpot, while the cat was taking advantage of an opportunity, was seriously funny. buzzy110 - 2017-07-07 16:21:00 |

| 11 | Cooked an ox tongue but didn't know that you need to peel all the skin prickly bit off before you eat it. Have never eaten it since. samsnan - 2017-07-07 19:19:00 |

| 16 | I made some ginger beer and stored it under the house in plastic milk crates. One night there was a massive thud that shook the house. I thought it was kids playing with fireworks, but when it happened again I started to investigate. The plastic bottles were exploding, smashing their way out of the crate, and hitting the floorboards like rockets. Home made explosives. devonwrecked - 2017-07-10 16:48:00 |
| 17 | Yesterday I spilt 4 sticky litres of sugar water all over the bench and floor, does that count? rainrain1 - 2017-07-10 16:49:00 |

| 20 | Liberally spraying the can of "Budget" cooking spray over the tray of meat & veg.... only to discover too late that their flyspray was in the exact same looking can...... kaddiew - 2018-07-09 08:22:00 |
| 21 | Not my worst, as that's too long a tale, but one that stil draws a wry grin from me when l make baked potatoes. I was working the evening shift at my parents' small Rest Home and decided to throw a couple of spuds in the oven for an easy tea for myself. l was youngish, hadn't made them that often and clearly hadn't grasped the importance of pricking them. My Mum phoned to check all was well and that all the ladies were snug in their beds. While l was chatting to her there was a series of thuds from the kitchen that were loud enough for her to hear over the phone. When she asked what the noise was l laughed and said it was probably my potatoes exploding. bella95 - 2018-07-12 02:26:00 |
| 22 | Moved into new house, made a chocolate cake. Top looked good, so removed from oven got as far as the edge of the bench. Bottom fell out of the tin, runny cake mixture spewed all down into a pot draw that was open a little, over top of my shoes and on to the floor. Gooey mess, and I quickly found a manual on the new oven. fifie - 2018-07-12 09:53:00 |
| 23 | Newly married (many years ago) me husband told me that he loved jelly and custard, so I made a beautiful jelly in a mould and was so proud when I placed it on the table. I then proceeded to pour the hot custard over our dishes. No one told me that it was suppose to be cold. We ended up with a melted mess. lol kiwitrish - 2018-07-12 10:40:00 |

| 25 | Sister in law many years ago had a crack at cooking mince. Instead of thickening with Flour she used baking soda by mistake. A veritable lahar golfdiver - 2018-07-12 12:02:00 |
| 26 | once I was cooking baked beans and turned the element on but it didn't heat up... I waited for about 4-5 minutes, then realised that the plastic kettle that was on the element behind the one with the baked beans on was slowly melting.... I'd turned the wrong element on and ruined a perfectly good kettle! muffin2 - 2018-07-12 13:04:00 |

I did that last week but it wasn't the kettle it was the iron that had been left on the stove top ! Edited by sniper03 at 5:42 pm, Thu 12 Jul sniper03 - 2018-07-12 17:42:00 |
| 31 | My mum told me, a few years back, that when she was a newly wed she decided to bake a sponge. Hadn't read the instructions properly and decided that as it was called a 'Two Minute Sponge' she only needed to cook it for 2 minutes. Obviously it was a failure and she was so worried that my father would think she was a terrible cook that she burried it in the vege garden and never told him. bella95 - 2018-07-13 02:09:00 |

| 41 | Years ago with Kindy fundraiser we were catering for an event (before H+S killed that)... anyway I was charged with making a large apple pie... decided on a lattice top... and was given the apples from a A+P Board member and they were the size of marbles.. much peeling and chopping (hoped for decent sized apples... short crust pastry made and sliced... into the oven... and watching and waiting.. and wondering it didn't seem to be cooking right... turned out the oven was on grill not fan bake... ... lots of extra work and sighing... karlymouse - 2019-04-19 22:40:00 |
| 42 | When newly married I decided to make hubby a chocolate cake, the cake turned out really well so put it in a cake tin in the cupboard. Next day thought I'd surprise him with cake for morning tea only to find ants had invaded the pantry and the cake tin. Thought "bugger this, its only a few ants" so dusted them off as well as dosing the cake liberally with fly spray and served it up. Hubby didn't say anything but dutifully ate it, at our 25th wedding anniversary I casually mentioned the cake and he said that at the time he thought it tasted a bit odd but decided not to say anything as I'd made such an effort. We're now getting close to our 50th wedding anniversary and I bet this little story of how I tried to poison him with love and chocolate cake will somehow surface in the dinner speeches. model-man - 2019-04-20 13:32:00 |
| 43 | I got given some carrots, so decided to make the much acclaimed carrot cake from here (forgot the name). Put it in the tin, thought the oven was taking a while to heat up (yip), and after thirty minutes (meant to cook for over an hour), thought it was smelling a bit burnt. Totally black on the top, and guessing still raw. unknowndisorder - 2019-04-20 17:55:00 |
| 44 | I've had a few but the one that comes to mind was my mum. She had taken a roast out to thaw. But had also a roll of dog sausage out. In an absent minded moment she put the dog roll in the oven and turned it on (plastic wrap and all) and left it. fey - 2019-04-24 14:58:00 |
