Question: 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!

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!.
