I was hammered at a party at some loser's house (his parents were out of town) and decided to make two dozen hard boiled eggs because the people there were hungry. Filled up two pots with water and turned the range on high before popping out for a quick toke. Unfortunately I left his mom's hand-painted range covers on underneath the pots and the burning paint filled the entire house with smoke and set off the alarm. I felt pretty bad about it but thankfully the host was passed out drunk and didn't wake up so I shut the stove off and we left

I used a store bought teriyaki sauce to make teriyaki chicken. Using the amount stated on the bottle (which was just enough to coat the chicken with a little left over to reduce into the sauce) it ended up unbelievably salty. Completely inedible.

Tried to make asian meatballs and pho once. Worst cooking experience of my life. It was my first time using ground turkey (it was on sale and we had it in the house). Didn't realize that you needed to dump an equal weight of spices to ground turkey into the mix because that shit tasest like nothing. Anyway with the pho I left the noodles in the broth too long before serving and they turned into mush.

Also one time I didn't know you needed to let fresh mussels sit in water so they filter out the sand. Went to a lot of effort to make a beautiful broth and serve mussels with linguine. Huge fucking crunch. Awful.

best way to tell if you got clean mussels is if they give you the bag open and tell you not to spill it when you leave. you should only ever buy fresh LIVE mussels that need to breathe and will die in a bag on the way home. frozen are fine as well but never thawed. when mussels die, they open.. look for closed ones

a repost, but I once decided to try a pea and ham soup because its my mothers favourite. This came at an early time in my learning and having studied physics and chemistry had wrongfully assumed that food relied on a few basic principles. I decided to get creative; things taste like things, for examples sake a veteran would know to get something less soggy you can just add a bit of raw flour to the mix, but I didnt have flour or know of that technique at least -- so boilin a bit of shaved orange peel would be decent, right?
Taking one spoonful, it tastes perfect for about one second - until that pea protein bitterness extended out into fully fledged orange peel bitterness, with a finish which must have been the higher notes of coleslaw. I forget the rest of it but given it was one of my very first creations I got everyone to have a try; I regret this sorely because everyone who did try it uses this as an excuse to NEVER eat anything I have made EVER.

Couple stories:

Friend's dad would make scrambled eggs with white sugar in it, as that's "how he always thought they were done". He would then pour the mixture into a pan and wait for them to solidify completely before cutting the sugar-egg disk up into smaller chunks with a spatula before serving.

My old man also goofed one day by substituting regular milk for chocolate milk when making mac and cheese, thinking the chocolate wouldnt affect the end result too badly. This was incorrect.

Was hanging out with some friends and decided we were gonna make a pizza. First of all, their pizza stone was nearly brand new and unseasoned. Second of all, their yeast was fucking dead, I wanted to give up then but my husband convinced me to keep going and see how the dough turns out because nobody felt like going to the store for more yeast.

The resulting mess was tough, rubbery, and not pliable/elastic how it's supposed to be. I hardly managed to roll that shit out, and when I was finally done and threw that mess in the oven, it stuck to the pizza stone despite taking the precaution of doing a layer of corn meal. It stuck so bad that while I prying the pizza off I basically ripped it to shreds and destroyed it. I was so fucking tilted by the end of this debacle I just sat on the kitchen floor, hands covered in corn meal and flour, nursing a rum and coke and starting into space until my husband helped me up and friend convinced me my deconstructed pizza was still delicious. At least it wasn't the first time I made pizza for everyone so my pride was at a little bit intact still.

in university, I got really into distance swimming. Then I joined the swimming team as well - at that point i was doing the equivalent of running a half marathon 6 days a week, often a little more. As a result (and since i don't eat breakfast, and often skip lunch), my calorie requirements were insane. Fruit juice with 5 tablespoons of sugar added per cup insane.

Anyway, long story short I ended up adding sugar to a lot of my savoury food and liking it because i was just desperate for calories. At the end of one year when swimming had died down, I was trying to work my way through some frozen bolognese in the freezer. It was as sweet as rice pudding. Literally inedible. And I ate like that for months.

The worst I've ever seen someone fuck something up was tea. How do you fuck up tea you ask?

My best friend decided to make a pot at my house while I was asleep. He took my clearly electric tea kettle, off of it's plug in base, and put it on the stove full burn. I woke to foul black smoke and a disintegrated kettle fused to the stove. The stench of burning plastic lingered for weeks and needless to say I could never fully remove the plastic

On the plus side, when I lifted the kettle from the stove the plastic bottom lifted away from the top in a perfect jagged ring of melted plastic. The thorny circlet became known as "the crown of shame" and anyone who colossally fucked up was made to wear it. My friend had to wear it the most, because as you can imagine, he was prone to doing stupid shit. Tragically one day a different friend threw it out when we were on a trip together because she didn't know what the fuck this strange, burned, painful, monstrosity was. I miss it all the time.

I once left a pot of Hungarian Goulash on the stove and left the house. After 4 hours it had turned into a dense jet black brick. The pot was ruined, but I broke out the brick and it was trimmed to size and incorporated into the foundation of my parents' new house.

It was inedible, like eating baked rubber. There was still good meat on there, but separating it from the silverskin was a difficult task.

I tried to warm up a Pyrex dish on a stove element because I wanted to melt and spread butter on it instead of just putting it in the oven for a few minutes.

The dish exploded as I was standing over it. I've felt more retarded in my life, but this was easily top 5.

My worst was because I wasn't thinking at all.

The first time I ever fried battered fish, I misread the recipe. There was a side part about "house seasoning" so I made the house seasoning as directed and then used it all. It turned out, it was supposed to be only a teaspoon or so of the house seasoning.

hey thats not a fuck up
ok the whites werent good, but that had more to do with the high moisture content of whites than anything else.
the dried yolks in a custom salt tray was a succcess, the browning on that one is because the salt has some bbq salt mixed into it

there were some actual fuck ups in the salt adventures though, pic related, massive plumes of smoke pouring out of olive oil soaked bisque fired salt block.
Salt transfers heat extremely efficiently, fast as the pan does, and since these are porous, the olive oil soaked in, and then tiny globs of oil were essentially surrounded by salt, giving an effect similar to if you took two hot elements and put oil between them, except all at once all through it, like a super heated sponge of sticky smoke spewing salt

I had to take a break during the experiments because of this and air the place out.

Probably not the worst i've fucked something up, but related to that pic

Added mushrooms (microwaved and drained to reduce moisture) to a frozen pizza. Always worked before, but this time enough moisture was left that the pizza started falling through the bars in the oven. I noticed before it fell all the way, but it was too soft to pick up so the only way to save it was to put a tray under it to catch it and push it through the bars deliberately. Still tasted okay.

Sadly I don't have any more really good stories for now, but I did find some old photos of trying to cook food! Here was the time I tried to make "fiery cherry pork roast". It came out disgustingly sweet just like before. I didn't have cherry liqueur so I just dumped a bottle of preserved cherries in there.

in highschool, a few of us were hanging out at someones house and we were making our own pizzas. i wanted to try egg and anchovy on my pizza, but i accidentally bought sardines instead, and i didn't fry the egg beforehand. it was basically inedible

this time, living on my own, i wanted to make sponge toffee, but i was too poor to buy a confectioners thermometer. i tried mixing in the baking soda before it hit hard crack, but i was too slow mixing it in, and i ended up burning it all and turning it to stone. the smoky caramel smell was kinda nice though.

also in highschool, i decided i wanted to try eating a protein shake, so i added my regular ingredients (whey powder, milk, coffee, little bit of peanut butter and honey), and then three eggs. blended the shit out of it and poured it into a frying pan. i never thought to reduce the quantity of fluids in it, since i was cooking it, it took fucking forever for the milk to boil off. by the time it was finished, there was no flavour, and had a texture kind of like wet chalk
