Another thread inspired me to start this one to share our kitchen disasters So who will win the crown as BellyBelly's biggest kitchen disaster??
To start I'll share a few of my aaah mishaps!
* I've made a butter cake & forgot to put the butter in.
* Tried to be creative & substituted lime juice for orange juice in a recipe. SOOOOO sour!
* Burning numerous things cos I forget about them.
* I made Banana Bread which looked fantastic, but when I turned it out only the edges were cooked so I had runny goo all over my bench.
hahahahha sarah! I can relate to the runny banana bread but it was chocolate brownie muffins and it was a cooking demo I was doing at a tupperware party!
Twice as embarrassing when you have 20 eager women waiting to taste these yummy concoctions.
I was just explaining the benefits of the silicone cookware stuff and how easily it would pop out without using fat of any kind blah blah, flipped them over and *SPLAT* they plopped out and ran all over this woman's beautiful white caesar stone bench. I blamed the oven of course.
OR the time I thought I would cook at roast chicken breast (a rolled and stuffed one) in the microwave which had "smart" cooking. Unfortunately I wasn't paying attention and put it in as twice the weight.... I came out rock hard and looked like a chicken football. Now everytime I go to roast one my DH says "oh yum! chicken football for tea!!"
Oh there are more - my mother used to tell everyone how I rang her once to ask her how boil the water to cook an egg .....

I used plain flour once instead of SR flour to make Golden syrup dumplings. my flat mate ate all of them politely saying how nice they were. I took one taste and realised what I had done and threw them in the bin. He then asked if they were meant to taste like that. When I told him no he said "good cause they weren't very nice"
I made a lime pie to take to my boss's place and forgot to put sugar in it! I realised when I was cutting it up and it didn't look right. I tasted it OMG- yuck
I made carrot & pineapple cakes for DS's b'day and forgot to put the sugar in (there's a theme here) - they were OK 'cause the pineapple added sweetness.
I am terrible at getting roast meat and vegies to be cooked at the same time - either the meat's red raw and the pumpkin OK and potatoes perfect or the meats good and the vegies are raw or burnt

I have posted about this before, but I once made up a fantastic long slow cooked chicken stock. With all the veggies and herbs and chicken bones. It was divine.
Then when I went to strain all the bay leaves and bones out of it, I strained the beautiful chicken stock right down the kitchen sink!
My other disaster was to cook up a yummy sausage casserole for a GF who had just come home from having her first baby. I piped mash potato and everything on top so that it was a "one pot meal". I drove down our drive to deliver it to her house, heard a massive clunk and crash and realised I had left the damn casserole on top of the car and it had flown off as I reversed..........sausage and mash and broken earthenware ALL over the road........
Kitchen Disasters!
