What's the dumbest thing you've ever done while cooking?!
Mine was trying to take a pie out of the oven without potholders, I realized about half way out that my hands were really, really burning! And that damn pie made a horrible mess when I dropped it, of course, insult to injury!.!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I was making homemade chicken soup!. I boiled up the chicken and the veggies for an hour and a half, got the tongs to take the chicken and carrots out, put the colander in the sink and strained the stock right down the drain! DUH - I didn't put the colander in another pot to save the stock!. WAS I MAD at myself!!! Must have gotten distracted, because at that time I wasn't a novice cook!.!.!.
You only do that once!

I was once cooking, the cake was in the oven and it turned out looking perfect and chocolaty, but when I tried it, I realized I had accidentally mixed up the sugar and the salt!.!.!. it was a mess!!! the cake was really salty and yuck! I wasted all my time, effort and ingredients!. And when I was younger, I started a cake form scratch, I mean, literally scratch, and it came out tasty!. I just poured a bit of flour, some cocoa, sugar!.!.!. other stuff and it was actually really good!. Your incident was also kinda weird!!!!!!!!!!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com
I was making dinner and of course had my fiance talking to me, the phone ringing and the dog barking and so I was pretty distracted!. I forgot to devein and peel my shrimp and dumped them right into my sauce!. Boy - that was a fun time!. Rapidly trying to scoop them out before they could get cooked, meanwhile I am pretty sure my pasta water was overflowing and my bread in the oven was burning!. That was a bad night!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Oh yeah!. I've done that twice in one week, no less!. I burned the inside sides of both elbows pulling things out of the oven with potholders, but without pulling the rack out!. I was a bartender and had to have huge ugly bandages on both elbows during the Sturgis motorcycle rally! It hurt so so badly!.!.!. When people asked what happened, I had to say, "Drunken cooking!"Www@FoodAQ@Com
Set a pot of hot fat on fire and then put it in the sink and turned the tap on!.
What a mess, I would rather clean up your pie than the cleaning I had to do!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
