I have experienced when I burnt the veggies and the spices as I forgot to keep the flame low LOL but I guess we all make such mistakes and can learn from these mistakes.

My first time cooking rice..... Uncle Roger will hate me.

[KityCat]

Yes a few times actually . The one that haunts me the most is when the dosa (kinda like pancakes , but made with rice batter ) got sticky on the pan and I wasn't able to flip it . It was a disaster indeed .

[Jem Smith]

Yep. I think probably everyone who cooks has one sooner or later.

I once forgot I was making popcorn on the stove and burned it, filling the house with smoke. And I've baked something and gotten distracted and missed out a key ingredient (like baking soda or sugar) and not noticed until after it was baked and my cake turned out all wrong.

My partner once substituted salt for sugar and made some really nasty pancakes. He tried.

DId you cook too much?

My Dad told me when he was young he tried to cook the whole bag of rice at once because he didn't know how much it would expand.

[JASPREET]

LOL looking at all comments, I think I haven't done too bad LOL but I guess it depends upon how much risk we took

[OldGuy]

I recall a time when I was very young and found myself home alone. I just decided I wanted some hard boiled eggs. I put the pot on the stove with water in it. Once the water began to boil, I set a couple of eggs in and went off to the living room to watch some TV. Unfortunately, I fell asleep.

I was awakened by a loud knocking at the door. An out of town cousin had stopped in as he was driving through town just to say hello. As we were standing at the door after his knock, the eggs exploded making quite a mess in the kitchen. I had completely forgotten they were even there. It could have been even worse if he had not awakened me.

Yep, a rice explosion.

[JASPREET]

To be honest I have stopped cooking so I am not experiencing any issues now LOL and if I would have continued then I must have shared more experiences like that

[freelancermariagrace]

When I was new to cooking, I had many cooking disasters. Even when frying hotdogs, I would burn them. LOL. I still experience cooking disasters today, but it does not stop me from cooking meals daily. LOL

[Kalayla]

I have had many cooking disasters in my starting out days. I still have those disasters when I cook under stress.

During cooking class in school... We were making burgers and I'd finished everything but the patty, and I flipped it right off the spatula and onto the floor. The class was nearly finished so after staring at it sadly for a few seconds I just picked it up and put it into the burger as if it never happened.

LOL, I have never attended any cooking classes at school, maybe thins have changed now but when I was studying there was no cooking class

About 10 to 15 years ago, I was baking a cauliflower pizza. The oven caught on fire. I did not know what to do and got my roommate. She contained the fire and got the fire to stop. All that we had to do is get a new oven. We did not get hurt. The house did not burn down.

I swore that I would never use an oven again. I haven't!

I rely on an air fryer, a microwave, a Crock-Pot, a blender, a toaster and a countertop skillet burner. No lie.

[eldavis]

Lol i have experienced this several times, especially when i am trying to do multiple things at the same time. There was a time i burnt the whole food 😓

[JASPREET]

I still need to learn a lot, and have never been friends with salt lol, its always more in dishes I cook

[Jem Smith]

I lost track of time and overcooked some gnocchi last night. Unlike regular pasta, which just goes a bit soft, if you overcook gnocchi it pretty much dissolves into glue. I threw it away and made some noodles instead.

I like gnocchi extremely soft.
