The saucepan lids embedded in the ceilings are a worry.

Lol suddenly I feel like masterchef! My worst would have been, when newly married to a fussy eater, and low on groceries, i decided to make some macaroni cheese. Other half insisted there must be some kind of meat in the freezer that could be "thrown in". There was-saveloys! Trying to save time as he needed to get to work, I threw frozen savs in with boiling macaroni, then discovered we didnt have enough milk, and very little cheese. Husband decided he wasnt hungry after all on sighting pink macaroni, lumps of saveloy, and a sparse sprinkling of cheese!

So funny. That poor woman sitting on the floor in an attitude of hopeless despair, surveying the mess from her dropped crockpot, while the cat was taking advantage of an opportunity, was seriously funny.

Cooked an ox tongue but didn't know that you need to peel all the skin prickly bit off before you eat it. Have never eaten it since.

Funny as!
The worst of mine left a room looking like the one where the pressure cooker exploded - it was a squeezy bottle of tomato sauce that had fallen behind a chair, and not been noticed. It sat there simmering, and one hot summer's day, decided to explode!
Oh, the (dripping) mess everywhere! Now the bottle is checked in and out of the fridge, I'm not cleaning up THAT again!

I loved those pics, especially the bread rolls, some looked as if they were puking. A recent fail of mine was when I made a tarte tatin (have made them heaps successfully) & the dish got firmly stuck when I inverted it! It wouldn't budge. Wouldn't ya know it would happen when having guests?

Me and a buddy boiled eggs until they exploded when I was 8 or so. Eggs on the ceiling. Not good.

I made some ginger beer and stored it under the house in plastic milk crates. One night there was a massive thud that shook the house. I thought it was kids playing with fireworks, but when it happened again I started to investigate. The plastic bottles were exploding, smashing their way out of the crate, and hitting the floorboards like rockets. Home made explosives.

Yesterday I spilt 4 sticky litres of sugar water all over the bench and floor, does that count?

Not my worst, as that's too long a tale, but one that stil draws a wry grin from me when l make baked potatoes. I was working the evening shift at my parents' small Rest Home and decided to throw a couple of spuds in the oven for an easy tea for myself. l was youngish, hadn't made them that often and clearly hadn't grasped the importance of pricking them. My Mum phoned to check all was well and that all the ladies were snug in their beds. While l was chatting to her there was a series of thuds from the kitchen that were loud enough for her to hear over the phone. When she asked what the noise was l laughed and said it was probably my potatoes exploding. Joke was on me because it was and they had completely coated the inside of the oven with a layer of mash. By the time the oven had cooled down enough to clean it had set into a sort of potato cement that took several hours to remove. Needless to say l prick my potatoes VERY well nowadays.

Moved into new house, made a chocolate cake. Top looked good, so removed from oven got as far as the edge of the bench. Bottom fell out of the tin, runny cake mixture spewed all down into a pot draw that was open a little, over top of my shoes and on to the floor. Gooey mess, and I quickly found a manual on the new oven.

Newly married (many years ago) me husband told me that he loved jelly and custard, so I made a beautiful jelly in a mould and was so proud when I placed it on the table. I then proceeded to pour the hot custard over our dishes. No one told me that it was suppose to be cold. We ended up with a melted mess. lol

Set an overnight dough for Hot Cross Buns (about 40 years ago) Didn't raise much overnight but set the Buns out on trays and kept them warm. Still didn't raise well so cooked them as is. Turned out I had used the Sugar as Salt and the Salt as Sugar

Sister in law many years ago had a crack at cooking mince. Instead of thickening with Flour she used baking soda by mistake. A veritable lahar

once I was cooking baked beans and turned the element on but it didn't heat up. I waited for about 4-5 minutes, then realised that the plastic kettle that was on the element behind the one with the baked beans on was slowly melting. I'd turned the wrong element on and ruined a perfectly good kettle!
