What’s the biggest cooking related fuckup you’ve ever made?
opening this thread and posting a reply
>>22256079GOT HIS ASS
>>22256079>cooking related
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.

>>22256275>40 minutesAnon...
>>22256062made chili once and gave myself food poisoning
>>22256332how?
>>22256343I guess the beef was bad even though it was well before the expiration date (at the time)
>>22256085How do you not realize you had too little flour when forming the cookies? It would've been basically batter lmao
>>22256062I tried to make a lemon cake without using a recipe it turned out all chewy and unedible
>>22256062I dunno
>>22256400that sucks. if you weren't already doing it then giving things like that a quick sniff to see if they're still actually fresh is a good idea even if they're within the expiration date.
I accidentally dumped a fly I had captured into a big pot of stock I had spent hours making.
>>22256062I didn't know that you shouldn't put a whole lot of shit into a pan
>>22256062Buying a cook-from-thawed turkey for Thanksgiving and thinking it was cook-from-frozenLuckily nothing worse than that. Haven't sent anyone to the hospital yet.
>>22256084oh he definitely cooked op's ass
>>22256403It was pretty sticky, I was distracted trying to get to the next thing I was baking, and I normally use a knife to cut the dough into square portions, so my brain kind of deactivated
I was 9 or something and decided to make a pizza.Slice of bread.Ketchup.Slices of devon that I pulled apart with my hands.A slice of cheese.Microwave it.I only ever took one bite.
>>22257742honestly that's a win. it mightn't have been what you wanted or expected but that's a fucking win. I hope you can see that anon
>>22257742>Slices of devon that I pulled apart with my hands.RIP Devon ;_;
>>22256062Scorched the milk in the pan
>>22256062this looks like the soda bread I fucked up at church when I was a wee lad and then also happened to get the worst projectile vomiting of my life. Because of that I only ever take the wafer during communion.What a Sunday
>>22256269I've destroyed two coffee pots this way
>>22256085I added 2 tablespoons of baking soda to cookies instead of 2 teaspoons and they came out inedible bitter. like poison. this was when was a kid just learning how to cook.
>>22256062One time things went sideways and long story short i ended up shitting in the stew
>>22258968i did the same thing with biscuits
>make one of those ramen soup bowls>put it in the microwave>dumbass me never put in any water>"durrr what's that burning smell?">open the microwave door (get on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur)>greeted by a plume of smoke and a ramen charcoal briquette
>>22256062Once boiled off an entire pot of water, just leaving a layer of burnt salt.
>>22256258the government doesnt want you to know this but you can hunt and cook the rabbits from the park. its the only time I eat rabbit.

I put a glass baking dish on a cold marble countertopI will never make this mistake again
>>22256084How do you know anon isn't a cannibal, hmmmm??
>>22256062How can you fail at bread so badly?
>>22257229you don't cook like you eat cock
>>22256062Making a base sauce for a pasta I was planning in the evening, finished the prep and thought I had turned the stove off, but had only turned it right down to the lowest flame. Then I went out for the afternoon.Came home to a lot of smoke and a wrecked saucepan.
I have a few standouts, in my fourteen years and counting as a chef.>Making guac for Cinco de Mexico>whole case of avocado. Cut, scoop, throw the guts in a bowl, throw the peel in the trash. >Realized by the end of the case, I had been throwing all of the guts into the trash and the peels into the bowl>Making creme brulee, put the cremes in the oven right before service started >Forgot to put on a timer/probably was like "I don't need no damn timer" because that's how I roll>Nine hours later, suddenly remember the cremes have been in the oven for nine hours and the cooking time is normally one hour>Race to the oven as fast as I can, as if that would save anything, twenty ramekins full of black sludgeWhich reminds me of a recent fuck up, pic related, was supposed to reduce one gallon of balsamic vinegar to one quart of reduction, completely forgot about it and wound up with this shit. Anyways>Making etouffe at home>I bought crawfish, I knew I was going to use crawfish, I knew that crawfish don't yield that much meat>In my head, swore up and down that I had a big ass bag of shrimp, not crawfish, and made a fuckton of roux>Etouffe wound up being like, just lard/flour goop with the occasional crawfish swimming around
>>22259199nta but I had a loaf of banana bread come out like this once using the exact recipe as many other times. still dont know what the deal was. ate a couple pieces and pitched it. no sickness, just confusion.
>>22259199kill the yeast before proofing
>>22256275There are some crazy stories in here but being 10 years old and not knowing how fire works might be the best one
>>22257310He cooked and ate that shit, balls and taint and all.
I was about to say "that looks like some awesome seitan" before I realized what that actually is...
>set air fryer oven to roast instead of bakePizza bros ;_;
>>22259495suck it up and eat everything above the lower 2-3 inches
>>22256062I wanted to make 'chili con carne' for family and friends, at some party.went shopping, bought all the stuff, >oh wow, minced meat is 60% off for some reason not expired or anything.so I bought a bunch. spend all day cooking, so its finished for the event tomorrow.made some awesome 'chili con carne'looks bomb, tastes great, I'm so happy, I eat a big bowl right away.......40 minutes later, without warning, I fell to my knees, and violently vomit on the spot.I can't stop, 30 minutes later I still lie on the floor, with tears in my eyes, gagging, and everything hurts at this point. I drink some water, and immediately start to vomit again. tossed the entire thing in the trash, and didn't eat anything for 4 days after.I was not ok for like 2 weeks.I never bought price reduced meat again.
When I moved into toy first apartment (1 bed), the stove, countertop, and sink were all on a tiny strip of marble, maybe 2x5"One time I had a beautiful yellow curry simmering and was doing the dishes. My soap dispenser was a glass bottle that you push to dispenser soap, apparently some soap had dried by the spout and when I pushed on it to dispense soap, a crack that had opened through the dried crusty soap diverted the liquid soap in a cumshot stream so that a significant amount of liquid soap landed on my simmering curry. It was not salvageable and I had to dump the whole thingI'm sure I've had others but that was the one I always remember
>>22259800I had diarrhea for a week after eating some pork that seemed fine. It was only later when I thawed and cooked some more then tasted it did I realize it was sort of acidic and that's what caused it. I probably didn't notice the first time because I had it with some kind of acidic sauce. It seems like the only time I've ever gotten food poisoning has been from spoiled/undercooked meat. I don't like meat or eggs too much anyway but something I liked is just not having to worry about that stuff so much since I stopped eating them. I still consume dairy but the risk from pasteurized dairy is a lot lower and seemingly easier to detect.
Made a Shepherds pie but used beef and didn’t call it a cottage pie.
>>22259224Did it take a lot of washing to get the crème brule ramekins clean?
recent fuckup was unwittingly buying yogurt with stevia shit in it instead of proper sugarthat stuff tastes fucking vile
The first time I visited Japan. Visited a local sushi joint close to the hotel, had no fucking idea about all the rules, made an absolute fucking fool of myself. The staff were polite about it as expected of the Japanese, but I felt bad enough about the whole thing that I returned the night before my flight to personally apologize to the chef.Read up before you fuck up.
>>22260197PRECISELY SAUCED
>>22260197>made an absolute fucking fool of myselfElaborate please
>>22259199Dead yeast.
Nothing crazy, but before I learned the proper technique I fucked up a few gravies/Mornay sauces and ended up with a pot of split and hardly edible gloop+grease.
>>22256062The other day I was making chicken stock in a pressure cooker and I forgot to lower the heat after it started whistling.
>>22256062looks like the seitan I used to make
I often start boiling noodles and then head off for a quick shower, but then in the midst of the shower I forget about the noodles and I just listen to music and then like with the bathroom door closed the fan turned on and the water running. I can smell the burnt noodles and then I shot off the water and run wet and naked to my kitchen to shut everything off. That happened three times this year, not too bad.
I once made baklava with way too much lemon juiceI can still taste the ZEST a decade later
>>22261007Be careful not to slip
>>22261007kek
>>22256062threw a wet steak into a pan that was too hot. the steam threw oil and grease fucking everywhere, including the ceiling.
>>22261481thank you Papa
>>22256062Leaving a pot of oil on the stove and forgetting about it.I'm bad about leaving pots going in general with water but for oil I normally would never take the risk of leaving the kitchen to begin with but I thought since I was so starving I would bring myself out to the kitchen a little later anyway so there was no risk.problem was I had been having issues with bright flashing lights from my neighbours coming into my home and every time I thought about getting up for food I didn't because I didn't want to be flashed by the lights upon leaving my bedroom.Eventually I went out to a lounge room full of smoke, rushed to the kitchen and turned the stove off, fire rising high above the oil, nothing caught fire but a plastic salt container melted a bit.made a mess of the walls and ceiling, I got them cleaned but it was left a bit too late so they need a new coat of paint for what seeped into the ceiling.on the plus side the insurance said I had to replace all the appliances in the kitchen because having been exposed to so much smoke they were a fire risk themselves so I got a new nicer rice cooker and a working replacement for my previously broken stove, my new microwave sucks ass though.
>>22256275I've had a microwave fuckup of putting two too many zeros on some tinned spagheti, it just made very very hot spagheti though, nothing major
>>22257229>wanted to try hamburger helper>put my meat in the mixing bowl>pour in the helper>realize I didn't leave enough room to actually mix it inI have a bigger bowl now I brought for that exact reason but haven't tried it yet
>>22256062Threw a splash of beer into a stirfry once because I was drunk. It was horrible.
>>22261832>>22261831>>22261830Now maybe I'm being fucking retarded, but if the pot is already burning and you don't know to try and smother the flame, why not just let it burn itself out?This shit always goes wrong when they try to put it out.
>>22256062>bake apple cake >check doneness, see specks on thermometer >some reason, think it's done >try it, not too bad>try to eat it the next few days and all it tastes like is wet sponge >had to toss it
>>22261832Literally just turn the stove off. I hate that people like this are doing better than me. I'm just not as confident in my own incompetence.
>>22263311the term is self aware
>>22262248Take a look at the third video you replied: >>22261832If you leave it on the hob, it keeps pumping energy into the system, and it keeps releasing more energy from the oil burning, both of which make the system hotter, and increase the size of the flame (because the oil more easily combusts the hotter it is), until it eventually climbs high enough and reaches something flammable.Is yanking the hot oil off the hob the way to go about it? No, for sure not, but also see how the flame keeps getting bigger the longer they leave it on the hob. Switching off the hob and moving the pan to the side would have been better if they didn't have a lid or fire blanket.When he pulls the pan off the hob the oil is cut off from the heat coming from the burner, so it can't burn as easily and goes out on its own. The heat from the burner (on or residual, which is why you would still want to move it) is a big part of the issue. Think about the difference in BTUs from the burner or the oil combusting by imagining trying to cook with a pan over one of these oil fires in the pan beneath and you'll see the difference in scale.The guy who throws the pan outside would have done basically as best you could short of smothering if he hadn't stumbled on the way out. If you cook on camera for a living you should probably just own a fire extinguisher though tbdesu.
>>22256062I tried to surprise my mum with a chocolate cake for her birthday a few years ago. She went out for a walk with my auntie, and that's when I started making it. It did not rise even a little bit, and the overwhelming sense of misery and failure made me resolve to never bake anything sweet ever again. I can and will buy that shit in every time, because opening the oven and realising what had happened was about as much fun as receiving a prostate cancer diagnosis before immediately being attacked by a shark.>>22261821Somewhere out there Irish stir fry became a one-hundred-million dollar idea.
it's probably in my weeaboo days when I tried to make vegetarian sushi myself. It took like 3 hours and instead of bitesize it was more like donut sized. I vomit from even smelling fish but now I learned that the salty taste of nori just reminds me of fish so I didn't like it. My roommate ate more pieces of it then I did and I chucked all the stuff I bought to make it in the trash when I left that dorm.
>>22263554You can't take cooking failures so hard. If you think about the cost of the ingredients and the time spent, you didn't really waste much did you? And if you take it as a learning experience you didn't waste anything at all
>>22256062Tried to fry some strips of liver. Ended up mass-producing erasers. Still no idea how to cook that stuff
>>22263590chicken or beef?
>>22259295You try moving as a kid from a house with an electric stove to one with a gas stove. Not so easy to know how something works when you’ve never used it before, and this was back before you could look it up.
>>22261812Difference is water content. The sensor reheat option used steam to sense when the food was hot. No steam or not enough means it keeps running. And as long as there’s water, the food won’t go too far past boiling temperature.
Mounted a cheap microwave above the stove; one night we were boiling pasta and was also microwaving some leftovers, lifted the lid to stir the pasta and the steam made something in the microwave arc and pop.That was the end of that microwave.
>>22261832i would save her, in exchange for sex of course
>>22264237not even with a rented dick
>>22256062I have never fucked anything up seriously for a few reasons but the biggest mistake I can remember from recently is fucking up a cream and cheese sauce for a pasta dish twice, with it being lumpy because I messed up the roux. I realized that day I could still use it anyways since it was being mixed with the pasta in a pot which broke up the lumps a bit and nobody noticed or cared anyways.
>>22256062I cut, seeded and washed about six pounds of jalapenos in a giant bowl under the sink.Fell asleep on my gf's lap from the incredible goddamn pain.
>>22261007My retarded sister used to pull that one back when we lived together only with her stupid hippy dippy brown rice
>>22264621did you leave out the middle part of the story?
I've posted it a few times.
>>22264129I grew up very working class and I was always very involved in the cooking process so by 10 I had been cooking with charcoal, propane grills, gas stoves, and campfires for a couple years.I know what you mean though. The first time I used an electric stove I was 18 and I had no idea how to control the temperature.
>>22256062Nice looking dumpling.
>>22259014>get on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaurWhat? Why would anyone get on the floor? and why is there a dinosaur?
>set my wok full of oil on fire on top of my butane burner, luckily didnt die in an explosion and was able to douse it with baking soda>let popcorn burn once just being a forgetful tard and going upstairs while it popped>set the bottom of the oven ablaze after melted butter seeped into the bottom of it (once again doused with baking soda lmao)moral of the story: always have baking soda handy
>>22256062Its probably me, but I cant make Mac and cheese to save my life. I make the beschemel, add the cheese which has been grated slowly to melt. Add it to the elbows. Top with more cheese and bake. Everyone always says its subpar. Do they want Velvetta? I don't know what I'm doing wrong even though I've followed several recipes.
>>22256062
>>22265022same group of faggots/women everytime? but yeah sadly they most likely do just want cheesy sauce on over cooked noods. does the sauce call for Coleman's dry mustard and a pinch of cayenne? are you using an odd cheese blend? are salting the water for the pasta?personally I prefer the baked variety with the beschemel because that is like a brick the next day. the one my mom uses is my favorite. its unfortunately one authored by Ree Drummond, yuck. only thing that can really go wrong is scorching the milk/roux, adding too much cheese at once so it doesnt melt evenly, over cooking the pasta and burning the toppings. maybe try a different casserole dish that will distract foids from too much flavor or add some olive oil so that it doesn't stick to it itself so much.God, I FUCKING HATE WOMEN AAAAAAAAAAAAA! LfK.

>>22256062It's not a huge fuckup, but every time I tried to make homemade toffee candy I never got it to harden; I always ended up with sugary liquid slurry. I eventually stopped trying cause I had no idea what i was doing wrong.

>>22256062at work i asked one of my line cooks to do me a favour and finish the prepping the ragu i had started in the morning, gave him the recipe, figured it was finei did not account for the fact that he was fucking retarded and instead of 3 liters of red wine, he added 3 liters of red wine vinegar
>>22263311>I hate that people like this are doing better than me.Anon she's 90% naked and almost burning her apartment down for twitch bits from a bunch of incels. If you consider that success then you have a very skewed definition of success.
>>22256062Tried to make yogurt raisins at home foolishly thinking that the coating on the ones in stores is made of yogurt (spoiler, it's not, it's a mixture of sugar, powdered milk, and palm oil, coated in shellac to prevent sticking)no matter how much starch or sugar I added to the concoction it would not thicken or stick to the raisins and instead turned into this bitter brownish slurryAnother time I tried to make a sponge cake but forgot to 1. grease the pan before pouring (immediately realized my fuckup when it touched down and 2. didn't separate the egg whites and yolk when beating to make it fluffy (this is partially on me, but also the recipe said that separating was unnecessary)what i peeled out of the pan was basically a mutilated pancake
Long ago in 2004 I was a new young general manager for two seafood restaurants and frozen mail order crab cakes/stuffed salmons and specialty prepared seafoods etc and I made the mistake a few months in of hiring someone with tattoos. The guy was a bit rough but rightfully didn't have any facial hair and wore a buttoned down long sleeve shirt and we were in a bit of a bind and this guy worked for a few years at similar places so I thought sure. I didn't see or ask about if he had tattoos or participated in any other mentally ill and more unsanitary practices. Well, I don't know how he did it but he kept them covered with a collared shirt and long sleeves until warm weather rolled around. When I did notice I remembered what the owner taught me but I was too much of a pussy I'll admit to just fire him which I didn't know how would go down legally but I later learned I could have with no consequence. I eventually cut his hours and kinda wiggled out of a direct confrontation when our slow season came around and we were finished a large batch for mail order and I eventually got him to leave. I'll never make that mistake again. Well, I'm not in that field anymore so yeah. Don't hire people with tattoos, gang bangers and other degenerates for food service people. They are inherently not compatible with high quality sanitary food service.
>>22267750>fires a perfectly functional member of staff because he had tattoos>too much of a bitchmade pussy to even do it directlyi thought you were gonna say you caught him stealing or some shit. this is a really gay story and i dont even have tattoos to be defensive about/
>>22267756>stealingNo, that would be lying and make you a dick. I admit it was my fault for not checking beforehand but I was young in the management position. I eventually learned to be more confrontational. This is a kitchen fuckup thread not my proudest cooking related moments thread. I learned though and the company prospered.
>>22267767the takeaway should have been arbitrary hiring standards like no tattoos are pointless. i know im on 4chan and faggots here love going on about 'ermmm tattoos mean low impulse control normie cattle' but it really is a pointless restriction evident by your story
>>22267781Not going to go into all the owners wisdom but if it looks like a dog, barks like a dog etc. Tattoos in particular got him off good and for good reason. They are an inherently unsanitary practice and says alot about a person's struggles with mental health. He had a good eye for teaching me. He'd even consider discussing the hires family health and potential for them to have to leave unexpectedly. Absolutely no women of child birthing age in some positions. Even the cars (jokingly I bet) people drive. He'd say... you see that? I bet the guy is gonna do this or he'll have to leave/quit in two weeks. Anyways, might not sound politically correct this day and age where people might actually let a guy with pink hair in the kitchen but it worked for him and me. You start hiring trash and they see them coming and going and they'll associate that with you so keep it clean.
>>22267807OopsAnd *customers see them coming and going
>>22256274i remember my mom getting so mad at me and my older brother for doing this on purpose after seeing it on tvit violently sharted egg evrywhere

>>22267807But he was apparently good enough to not get fired... until you found out he had tattoos. You retarded or something?
>>22267750>Well, I don't know how he did it but he kept them covered with a collared shirt and long sleeves until warm weather rolled around.>Well, I don't know how he did it are you retarded

That's real degeneration.
>>22256062I was staying over at my sister's place, visiting my niece and nephew during the summer. I thought I would be nice and prepare breakfast for everyone as a surprise ( eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, biscuits and gravy). Can't figure out why my gravy isn't thickening right. Open canister clearly labeled "flour", taste it- it's powdered fucking sugar. I asked my sister why, and she said, "We got them as a set (the containers), and I don't ever use flour so I thought I would just put powdered sugar instead."
>>22268032Calm down, leftoidal shitmouth pedo
I was drinking very heavily and suddenly needed a piss while cooking a burger. Made it until I took it out of the pan before I pissed my pants. I stood and ate it while piss dribbled down my leg.
>>22268759Oh I forgot to mention that my dog licked some of it up
>>22256062When I was 22-ish I was teaching myself how to cook more things than pasta or eggs. I was shallow frying some chicken, but because I was super paranoid about undercooking the chicken I had the heat much too high, which meant the oil was spitting all over the place. Instead of turning the heat down, I put a lid on the pot.After a few minutes I removed the lid. At which point the aerosol of cooking oil that had formed within immediately caught fire. There was probably more than half a metre of flame shooting up, and rather a lot of smoke. For a few brief moments I pickup the pot and began rotating towards the sink, before coming to my senses, putting it down on the hob and placing a frying pan over the top of it. The pan was caked in burnt chicken and oil, and the pan was warped beyond use.I spent ages trying to clean the oily smoke, but I kept finding new stains for a very long time afterwards.>>22268615Why wouldn't I be calm? I'm getting everything I want.
>>22265022Season the beschemel as well as the completed mac before you toss it into the oven, little bit of salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary and thyme. Also mix more cheese into the mac not just on the top. Get a nice mix of cheeses too 50% mozzarella, 50% sharp cheddar is my go to
>>22261812I had a fuck up where I put a whole metal pot with lid into our microwave. The lid started sparking, especially around the handle, and it emitted the worse smell. My dad came in asking what the smell was then freaked out and started yelling obscenities. I was like 9 years old.
