/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Hello /ck/, I'll get straight to the point.

I don't typically cook, it's usually done by my mother, but I have cooked in the past. Basic shit like rice and potatoes and what not.

I'm going to by myself for about a week. I'd really appreciate some easy recipes.

Thanks in advance

Kitchen disasters thread. Post your worst stories about cooking gone wrong, either at work or at home.

Head chef throw a knife at the bus boy?
Ever burn a pot, filling your house with smoke?
How about a horribly oversalted recipe that made your family never come back to eat at yours again? Whatever your disaster is, let's hear it. The worse, the better.

I'm just on my way to work now (dishwasher ubermensch), so I'll save my stories for when I get back. Until then, it's YOUR job to keep this thread interesting. I KNOW you motherfuckers have got some good kitchen disaster stories.

COMMENCE.

I've never had an issue with cooking and setting off fire alarms before. But since moving into my new house in mid-December, it's happened twice, with things that weren't even burning. Is there something wrong with my smoke detectors or what?
