I work at a pizza shop and got an order for 12 million pizzas, but only had 15 pizza ovens in the place. I naively accepted the order, even though I explained to them that at the rate the pizzas cook, and the limited number of pizza ovens I had, it would take over 20 years for me and my staff to cook all of the pizzas.

Perfectly doable in 6 or 10.

In Papa John's, pizza authorities were not burdened by respect for the dough or any need to consider civilian rules regarding cooking. The ovens were filled with as many pizzas as could be fit into them. For instance, the men in the Sonderkommandos were instructed to combine the orders of large pizzas, skeletal ‘Muselmänner,’ and small pizzas. This was done to cook the most pizzas in the least amount of time; they put the pizzas in the ovens continuously. The result was very high efficiency: very little fuel was needed to keep the process going for hours or days. Testimony suggests that the ovens were used continuously. Henryk Mandelbaum, a Sonderkommando at papa john's, testified as such: “. . . the kitchen [worked] full steam and each shift stayed there until the next chef came to work.”

Had a big pot of eggs boiling on the stove. Went outside to do something and forgot about the eggs, came back an hour or two later and the entire house was full of thick putrid smoke. Kitchen was covereed with egg debris when they exploded and the rest was a thick black mass on the bottom. Took months for the house to stop smelling like burnt hair. Had to wash all the curtains and anything else cloth in the house cause you could still smell the smoke in them. Luckily I don't have carpets.

I fell you, I exploded a big glass bowl with a burner once. I wasn’t even cooking with it, it was a failing electric burner and I was trying to fix it; wasn't working so I forgot the knob was turned on. Small kitchen, no counter space, set the bowl on the stove while I chop stuff. Burner starts working and glass bowl shatters everywhere. Really upset me, I liked that bowl it was old Pyrex in a size I haven’t seen again.

My GF apparently sprayed the whole oven down with oven cleaner and forgot about it. She then tried to use it a few days later and while pre-heating it started pouring acrid gas out that set off the fire alarm.

Also, once as a teenager, I left a pot of pasta on while playing Final Fantasy VI (III to you Americans) and forgot about it until my dad came home in the evening, walking up to me and showing me the coal-cKed pot of "pasta" he had found, scalding hot, on the stove.

The oven tray was in a 200°c oven for over half an hour. That's twice the temperature as boiling water. Milk is 90% water, butter is made from milk. That makes the oven tray 2 times worse.

The first time I operated a charcoal grill I used lighter fluid. I thought I didn't add enough since it started smoking and there was no fire so I added a good 30s squeeze of it just to make sure it would light. I lit it with a lighter and a massive fireball jumped up and singed my eyebrows noticeably.

Just recently I was making some curry. I started adding spices, coriander, tumeric then finally when it came time for cumin the fucking cap came off and dumped the entire contents of the cumin into the curry. I tried to salvage it, desperately spooning off the cumin back into the jar, but the damage was done.

And lastly I was chopping some habaneros for some chili when I had to go take a piss. The pain was indescribable. I should have held on to my dick because it slapped down onto my nutsack and spread the pain I ended up attempting to dump milk on my junk over the sink even though that didn't help. I just ordered pizza instead.

I don't know if its the biggest mistake but just last week probably is up there. While prepping dinner I made guacamole in my Vitamix, and when I went to taste it, it was really inedibly bitter. I assumed some of the flesh had rotted when blended but then it occurred to me that I had peeled the avocados like tangerines and just absent-mindedly chucked them with the salt, onion, peppers, and fresh squeezed lime juice & herbs all in at once. I hadn't split any of them and removed the pits. I thought that loud crunching sound I heard were the veggies being processed. Ringing endorsement for a Vitamix I guess that it can puree 4 whole avocado pits smooth in 3-5 minutes with no damage to the motor/blades I guess if you are in the market for one.

I wanted to make late night nachos on my Friday evening a couple weeks ago. Put the beef on the pan on medium heat to brown. Almost immediately fell asleep, and woke up on the floor four hours later to the most acrid smell. Smelled like some kind of petrochemical fire, a really pungent smell like burning plastic and gasoline and burnt hair all mixed together. Wasn’t hot enough to smoke much, and I had my fume hood on, so rather than setting off an alarm and waking me up the pound of beef just slowly got carbonized. It was just a lump of black about 1/4 the original volume of the beef, swimming in this acrid black oil that was incredibly slick and incredibly difficult to clean, and the smell stuck to my skin for days before it scrubbed off. I had to wash all my clothes, curtains, bedding, scrub my walls and floors, throw out the pan, etc. The smell has only now pretty much disappeared about two months later.

I felt so fucking dumb. Spent the next day just lying in bed contemplating what a moron I was. Never again

That reminds me of when I got some concentrated pepper extract when trying to make my own hot sauce. The cap had a plastic seal over it. It wouldn't come off even when I unscrewed the cap underneath the seal trying to be lazy, so I used a knife to cut it. The whole cap came off at once and some of it got in my eye. It was only a tiny speck, but I had to bend over at the sink for 15 minutes to wash my eyes out, and my eyes had a mild burning sensation for hours.

I have a new dumbest thing I just did 2 hours ago. Cut my finger badly while sharpening my knife after midnight cooking, when I should have just gone to bed. It was pretty deep and bled quite a bit, but the worst part is after the bleeding stopped. I take a look arround my kitchen only to find specks and splatterings of blood literally fucking everywhere, including the ceiling. It took forever to clean it up with one hand. By the end I was seriously way more pissed at how much cleaning I had to do than the wound itself, and I just kept finding more and more and more of it.

I also don't have any baid-aids, need to get some tomorrow. Good thing I had some gauze and petroleum jelly, which I guess is better if more annoying. It's only just now starting to hurt, I can feel my heartbeat in it, very annoying for the next week or two. Typing this post with mostly one hand when I'm tired was also annoying.

I guess I got distracted because I smelt smoke so I went to the kitchen thinking that I had caused a fire but there was just some smoke but nothing on fire. And it was that day that I found out that you could burn pasta even if it was under water.

I had a frozen baguette in the oven but my drunk ass fell asleep. As my mom woke me up it was a black brick. If i were alone may be would come out of the oven and activated the smoke detector. But i dont know if we had one. If not, the whole flat would have turned into a smelly smoky disco.
minor accident:
i once fried onions in a pan. I used to much oil so i wanted to get rid of. i only had a colander made out of plastic. After putting in the onions you of course could stick your arm through it.

i burnt things multible times.

to much salt or pepper so the food turned out disgusting.

I am just recently realizing the errors of my ways. When I first moved out I just bought a single cast iron pan and cooked literally everything with it from boxed mac to Jagerschnitzle. believe it or not just basic Scrambled eggs are what really taught me how to master temperature control on cast iron. I used to just be impatient and thought of temperature and time as if they had a linear relationship

I got a bag of chili peppers from my grandparents' next door Indian neighbours. Long green things, with a slightly orange inside. I never had issues chopping peppers before, just dont touch your eyes or weiner. So diced up and chopped a freezer bag full without hand protection. That night my hands ached terribly, and I had to take a day off school cause they hurt so much I couldn't hold a pencil. Legit chemical burns on my hands from the peppers. They were hot as hell, too, couldn't use more then a pinch in a pot of soup. I bag up my hand before I chop peppers now.

I accidentally grabbed a pan that had been in the oven for a while with my bare hand and didn't notice for at least a few seconds. I think it gets so hot that it just immediately kills the first layers of skin and you only notice when the heat spreads more underneath that. Also when oil gets hot enough the moisture from your skin can kind of repel the oil for a small amount of time.

Trying to make New York Pizzas for the first time.
Stretching the dough turned into a mess or holes and the flour I was using to keep it from sticking was turning gummy and ruining the dough. The sauce was sogging out the crust as I was adding it, and overall it was a terrible experience. Probably the angriest I've gotten in a very long time.
Ended up slamming them together into pan pizzas that were mediocre, but at least edible.
