The first time my parents had this one couple they were friends with at the time over for dinner my mom burned the spaghetti noodles as they were boiling. She forgot to stir them and they scorched and cooked onto the bottom of the pot. Ruined that dinner. They were quite embarrassed LOL.

Oven gloves...They were on the wrong hob, I didn't think to move them as they weren't close enough to do the one I was using...however I turned on the wrong hob - it almost caught fire, so I managed to throw it out of the window by the safe end...Parents weren't too pleased.

The worst thing I ever personally burned myself... Hmmm... Dang. I'm a pretty good chef if I do say so myself. I don't think I've ever made anything that wasn't at least edible. Probably the worst would be when I was cooking a apple pie with one of those hobo pie makers while camping. I was still able to eat it after scraping off the carcinogens with a butter knife, but it was pretty charred because I left it in the fire too long, but hey. At least I didn't burn my dinner that night. No, in fact... it was perfect.

Oh come on, you can't pick on me because I'm afraid of seering hot grease , that's like calling someone a coward because they won't dip their extremities in a blender. Okay, maybe a bad analogy lol.

That's how I do bacon as well, that or I just buy the (far too expensive) microwave-specific bacon.

Precisely, therefore I couldn't live without one, lol

I'd have to say every time I make popcorn in the microwave. I don't know how I manage it... you guys know that old childhood joke that claims someone is so stupid it takes them two hours to cook minute rice? I'm sort of like that with microwave popcorn . I always burn it... it just can't be avoided. I try to follow the instructions, but every single time my popcorn is burned and aweful, like it's "Fire Marshall Bill"-brand popcorn, lol (probably only funny to people age 22+, hehe). And my girlfriend cooks the same brand and it's perfect every time

The BBQ with budget sausages is like napalming the forests of vietnam. I've frazzled sausages into carbon carnage plenty of times because they're cheap skanky 89p Tesco ones with galons of grease in. You put them on, they start to cook, they split, they spew forth a torrent of grease which ignites and they cremate themselves infront of your very eyes.

Apart from that, I'm an awesome chef.

Well, women ARE supposed to cook for us. But I bet it's because you have some super powerful microwave and the popcorn instructions are inaccurate for your nuke machine. Try cooking it for less time or lower the power level.

Haha, our microwave has a popcorn button Cooks (almost) every kernal (nearly) every time for any brand of popcorn. I love it. But our stove is great as well. I think my favorite meal to make is sandwhiches. . I know. no Cooking involved.

A n00b's mistake, you over-cooked your eggs!

You should blast on full power for 10 seconds, open and whisk. Repeat this process and you will be fine.

A little milk into the mix doesn't hurt, either.

I'm not keen on red meat, and for sure don't eat sausages, they just make 'em out of the spare bits of animal they can't sell because they're so disgusting (use your imagination).

I'm not a vegitarian, is there a term for a non red meat eater? anyone know latin and make one up?

Yeah.... mmmmmmmmmmmm good.

Quote: "By Charles Abbott

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - For three decades, U.S. inspectors visited 250 meat processing plants as rarely as once every two weeks despite federal law requiring daily inspection, Agriculture Department officials admitted to lawmakers on Thursday.

And theres no red tape. They can put whatever they want in 'em. Kinda like Christmas when you open em' up!

Best.

Nah, I'm not Republican, but I'm not Democrat either. Somewhere in between if such a thing can exist.

A hoover? As in the vacuum cleaner? Or... ?

OMG. Butter and hot-dogs? Why not just wrap them in lard, coat them in bacon bits, and deep-fry them?

Of course, you'll need to hire someone to cut your toe nails...

I'm into cooking quite a bit myself. But as far quick snacks are concerned, frying a couple eggs never loses.

They only kill idiots that copy things done in Brainiac, you know I'll put some explosive gases in the microwave, you know

And of course, with the stupid woman that put her dog in the microwave to dry it...Poor animal, to think she sued the microwave company and won...

I thought it was a hampster? Surely in order to get a dog in the microwave she would've had to have cut it into pieces first, this rendering the dog dead before it was microwaved? Or it must've been an exceptionally small dog with a weak heart which probably died of fright, and therefore I conclude the microwave was not to blame!

I would bet more people have died from gas cookers than any other cooking applience.
