This one wasn’t the biggest ever but is the biggest recently: I’d posted this in a QTDDTOT about whether macadamia nuts had messed up my cookies since I was sure I’d made them right. Well I finally got around to making the cookies again and I didn’t make them right before. The recipe calls for 2 flours but I just do only all purpose flour, so I combined the weights of each and wrote down 17 oz. However because I weigh every other recipe in grams, and because my handwriting was sloppy, I read “17 Oz” as “170g” and put in way too little flour.
>>22256062not getting a pizza oven years ago to toast my Extra Toasty Cheez-its even further. I have one now but I wasted so many years without. Now I call my wife every time I’m on the way home from the grocery store, literally screaming at the absolute top of my lungs to get the pizza oven fired up before I get home.
Was making bread and forgot to add the yeast.Or the time I passed out while reheating burritos in a toaster oven and almost started a fire.
went to a special butcher shop and bought an expensive rabbit and then burnt the rabbit stew.
I was making seafood newburg once with a stupid expensive ingredients list, including $80 worth of sherrfish and some nice sherry, amongst other things, and I accidentally dropped almost all the cooked shellfish down the crack between the stove and counter. Fucking disaster that took days to properly clean and I only got one portion out of what was left and didn't even enjoy it. I even baked my own vol-au-vents of which I only needed one :[pic is the recipe but not OC of course
>>22256062I'll make potato corn bread today, never made bread myself before so it'll be that most likely.
>>22256062I added cold water to a burning hot glass casserole dish. It exploded. Lesson learned.
>>22256062Was making a chicken-fried steak once and I accidentally used powdered sugar instead of flour

I figured out how to hardboil eggs using a microwave, unfortunately one night I clicked 9 instead of 6 for the power level and and all 5 eggs exploded blowing the door open and spraying egg everywhere
>>22256062When I was 10 or something and tried to boil water, I turned on the gas stove but didn’t know I had to ignite it. Was lucky my parents told me to always turn on the ventilation hood when cooking, and that ours blew the air outside.Around the same age I used the microwave reheat function to heat up leftovers and there wasn’t enough water in the food for the steam sensor to trigger. Only noticed something was wrong after the food had been reheating for 40 minutes. Didn’t cause a fire, but did turn the food into ash and blow up a ceramic plate due to thermal shock.Moral of the story is teach your kids to cook, there’s a lot of dangerous ways you can mess up.
