Memorable Cooking Disaster

[Debashis]

Can you share a memorable cooking disaster and what you learned from the experience?

Have you come across multiple such disasters? Feel free to share 'em all with us then, hehe.

I took a break from cooking the day I made a poor jollof rice. I noticed that it was salty, and that was the period that my woman came around. I couldn't even cope then, but I am glad now that everything is getting better and I am becoming a better version of a chef that I wanted to be for long.

The only thing that comes to mind is I way over salted some wild goose gumbo once. Other than that I can’t think of anything drastic enough to be called a disaster. I’m actually a pretty good cook.

I can't think of any. I know I've had some cooking disasters, but these were events not worth remembering, lol.

I wanted to melt some cheese on some pork rinds. I don't have a functional microwave. I put the pork rinds on a pampered chef stone  and placed them under the broiler. 

They caught fire!

Hahaha! Sorry to laugh but that’s funny.
Next time just put them on a baking pan then pop them into a 350° oven for about 5 minutes or until the cheese melts how you like it. Nachos were made this way long before microwaves were invented and truth be known may even taste better that way.

Okay, so it's not my disaster, but an ex-girlfriend's. She was cooking something in oil on the stove, got a phone call, and laid down on the bed to talk on the phone and forgot she had something on the stove. After a while I sensed something was burning and the whole pan was in flames. We had a 2nd floor apartment and I grabbed that pan with an oven mit and ran it down the hall, down the stairs, and threw it outside in the front lawn, lol. I was not a happy camper at that moment, lol.

My husband randomly stopped by his parents house and found this exact situation. Mil was cooking sausage in oil
