Kitchen Fuck-ups

did you only have 1 burner? I normally cook on the back burner and move to the cool front when done

>>7258864
I used to "fix" bad tasting dishes by adding more stuff to them.

>>7258864
That's flat out stupidity. That's not a fuck up. You're just dumb.

>making a tray of bacon for morning shift
>take tray out with mitts on, we normally just dump bacon grease into the grease trap when done
>be ultra careful because shit is hot
>get all the grease out of there without issue
>let out a sigh, carry tray away
>tray catches on the side of the oven
>tray flops down on my arm and burns it
>throw my arms up and try to get tray off of me
>tray falls back down on my arm and burns me again
>finally just drop the tray on the floor

Scars from that are gone now, but holy fuck I burned myself often. I was a REALLY bad line cook, and it was the only job I ever got fired from.

i still to this day cook without a shirt and burn my belly on the stove reaching for things in the way up high cupboard above the stove

>Make stock
>Strain stock to remove vegetables
>In to the sink
>Stock disappears down plug hole
>Left with a collander of veg trimmings

>>7258868
I move it from left to right since my left burner is larger

Put a leftover chik-fil-a sandwich in the microwave when I was 6.

got a pan out of the oven with a damp cloth towel.

>>7258864

>no water in the pot everything black one egg escaped the pot

Took me a few hours to get the smell out of the house and i destroyed that pot. Felt like a dumbass for a few days.

>>7259036
He probably burned himself (the heat goes straight through the towel) and dropped the pan.

>>7258864

>>7259016
This is fine as long as you fold the towel you imbecile

>>7259099
>Kitchens smells of bacon and I can see naked bone

this is my nightmare

>>7259133
I can hardly see the scar from it now. I was surprisingly calm about it in my drunk state of mind, although it did hurt like crazy for about a week.

>>7259172
seeing motherfucking bone would have sobered me right the fuck up.

>>7258940
Holy shit I did that once. Never again will I make stock on two hours of sleep in the past seventy-two.

>>7259187
you'd think so and this is not related to cooking but a few years ago i punched a mirror, cutting one of my fingers open to the bone, instead of sobering up i found it so hilarious that i went around showing it to everyone

>>7259536
I hate you.

>>7260659
I'm the guy who burnt his hand to the bone:
At a party in a large youth camp we were dancing drunk on the tables and there were these industrial type lamps with metal shades. I waved my arms around dancing and suddenly my finger was bleeding cause I had smashed it into a lamp. Being wasted, I thought it was the funniest thing in the world and swung my arm around in the bathroom, spraying half of it with blood.
Later the same night a friend almost cut his finger clean off on another lamp shade and had to go to the hospital.
Fuck those lamps.

>>7258864
when I was younger and shorter I had a little trouble reaching up to the stovetop.

This frequently had me accidentally dropping the entire pan of bolognese onto the floor, because i kept drawing the pan closer to the edge so I could put in the ingredients.

Naturally it doesn't happen anymore, cause I'm taller.

>>7259016
Fuck that happened to me a few months ago and I dropped a pan of cornbread. Don't know how I didn't notice the pot holder was wet.

I don't do dumb things, I'm a man. A girlfriend I had once was a vegetarian though, hated touching meat, and when trying to make me bacon she put the entire package in the microwave and it caught fire.

>I still tried to eat the asparagus after, in case you thought I got smarter. Pretty sure a glass sliver or two made it through

>>7263850
I just had a glass mug explode on me. Of course right after I topped it off with hot coffee, and it was a 3/4L bigass mofo. Spend an hour and a half cleaning the countertop, drawers and floor.

>>7258864
I think the worst I've ever done is burn some bread I was toasting on the broiler setting.

The only other thing that comes close was oversmoking some pork chops when I was first experimenting with smoking on a kettle grill.

Why the fuck did you put the box in the oven?

>>7259051
A friend of mine had this happen with some artichokes he was boiling.
He got a booty call, and left. 3 hours later, comes back to a house full of smoke and a pan full of artichoke ashes.
His place stunk for months. we started doing our WWF PPVs at a bar instead.

so this guy either reheats pizza in the oven, whilst still in the box, which firstly is a retarded thing to do because pizza can be warmed in a microwave or in an oven without the fucking box... and cold pizza is great too

What the hell did you get fired for? I feel like getting fired is really hard to go.

Made some lasagna and put it in the over, then a friend asked me to jump start his car, left and forgot to turn oven off, he bought me dinner as a thank you. By the time I got back I forgot I was making food - had trip in morning so I packed and slept and then flew out for Christmas. Was gone 9 days, came back to a smoky hot apartment and was confused and then realized that I left the oven on the entire time. Had it on for a total of 10 days straight. Needless to say, the lasagna really didn't even exist at that point. I'm lucky I didn't burn the whole apartment complex down.

>>7264553
>Apartment smells like a burn victims charred pubes.

Why would I reheat it in the box in the oven? I just left what was left in the box and put the box in the oven. Wanted to cook something the next day. I forgot the box was in the oven. Some time later the box caught on fire. Is it that hard to understand?

>>7268271
I got fired for being a shitty cook, not endangering my coworkers. Turns out that I can't really work a line that well.

>>7268368

I'm just curious how the whole process went.

1) What was shitty about your cooking?
2) How did they know?
3) Did customers complain?
4) How long did it take for them to fire you, and did you know it was coming (if you did, how?)?

>>7268375
1. I got orders messed up and simple shit took me a long time
2. People complained about me.
3. Yes, a lot, including the owner's best friend.
4. It took them about a month from when I started really fucking up, and yes, I did know it was coming.

>>7268383

Thanks. And dang that sucks. What do you do now?

If I remember, it was called "The Adam Bomb, Small." I basically gave the guy a 20 and said "go for it," and he grabbed whatever he felt like doing and threw it into a bigass box. It had grilled chese and bacon sandwiches for the "buns", teriyaki chicken, cheese steak meat, jalapeno poppers, dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets, and a bunch of other stuff that I'm currently forgetting, all on a huge bed of garlic noodles, with ponzu sauce and sriracha all over it.

It was pretty fucking good, and I hope his cart comes back someday, the guy was chill as fuck and had a crazy cart.

>>7268359
Well yes, because that's absolutely disgusting. You should not leave food at room temp for more than 2 hours.

It is perfectly fine to freeze, unfreeze and refreeze meat. The only negative thing that may happen is a little loss of flavor.

EGGS MAKE THEIR OWN FATE

Years ago, put lunch in oven, turn it on, go back to room (1st mistake - did not preheat oven, would have prevented what came next). 40 minutes later I go out expecting delicious roast chicken wings. They are still cold and raw; crap, oven is busted. Reach up to turn dials off (three dials: fan/heat source, temperature, grill underneath - you can see where this is going) and find temp dial is off. Grill is on, oh shit.

Open door to grill section (2nd mistake as suddenly oxygen is increased), fireball erupts. My sister had used grill two days earlier to cook sausages and didn't clean it, leaving a pool of flammable fat in the tray, now impersonating a bonfire in my kitchen. I don't panic (yet), grab tray with towel and go to toss the whole thing in the sink for containment. No good as sink is full of water and tuppaware containers (thanks again Sis). Drop tray back on door of grill and grab one of said containers full of water and hurl at grill.
Mid swing I realise my 3rd mistake. This is an oil fire and I have just tossed cool water at it. Too late , oil explodes, the ceiling is now on fire and I am covered in spot burns, not to mention the rest of the kitchen. NOW I panic and drag the tray off the grill door to get the flames away from the rest of the oven and wall. It hits the cork laminate floor, the rack section bounces up and lands two feet away, the oil slops out in all directions.

Good news everyone! The fire goes out. Bad news, to this day there is now a large rectangular blister patch of floor from the tray, a second patch from the rack in neat parallel lines and blackened and charred patches where the burning oil itself splashed. The ceiling was repairable with sanding and fresh paint. The floor has remained as is as a tribute to absent minded stupidity until the house is someday sold when it will cost me a small fortune to have replaced.

I hate when people spread dangerous half-arsed advice like this. Yes, it's safe under the correct circumstances, but loss of flavour is not at all the only negative thing that may happen.
Firstly, you are going to fuck up the texture and dry it out too.
Secondly, it is only completely safe if it was thawed in the fridge and refrozen shortly after. If you thawed it on the counter or in the microwave, you should cook it within a couple of hours.

Might have been half decent in a crock pot, but this bitch called for this shit to be baked while smothered in a shitty olive oil toilet "sauce"

I hate when idiots spread their stupid opinions like this.
As long as you cook the meat thoroughly, you'll be fine. If you knew anything about microbiology you'd know that it's bacteria that makes you sick, not the decomposing proteins themselves. As long as it's cooked properly, you can eat rotten meat. Doesn't mean it'll taste great, but it won't make you sick.

>>7268739
Not that poster. You realize that it's the toxins (which are proteins, but not the same proteins that make up the muscle of the meat in question) that the bacteria produce that cause food poisoning, right? If it's been culturing bacteria long enough for harmful bacteria to have coated the thing in toxins, killing the bacteria off so they can't produce more toxins isn't going to magically remove the toxins that are already present. Cooking something properly and in a timely fashion helps to ensure that the toxin levels do not reach a toxicity threshold.

So why don't you get food poisoning every time you thaw out meat?

That's what the hell we're talking about. Thawing something out then refreezing it. It's perfectly safe. We're not saying toss it out in the fucking sun unwrapped.

>>7268814
I didn't say you can't thaw and refreeze something. The other poster didn't either, but that doesn't mean that nothing bad could ever happen under any circumstances by thawing and refreezing. So long as it is thawed properly, never going above 40f, the chances are practically nil. If it isn't thawed properly, the chances increase much more. The original poster didn't say how they thawed, so that's up in the air.

Never really messed up food but I'm good at destroying everything else around me. Did the melted cutting board, but I set it on the burner. destroyed a wok, but to be fair I think it was cheap as hell, a present.

Your mom is a retard for using the oven as a cupboard. She should've cleaned it herself.

Jesus wept you need to learn to eat like a real person. This is the single trashiest thing I've seen today. Were there no competent adults in your life? Have you listened to music more complicated than Sir Mix-A-Lot? How do you feel no shame?

Woks should be on hellfire.

Tablespoons of baking soda instead of teaspoons of baking powder in pancakes.

My right hand is covered in scars from the many times I've reached in the oven to take something out without mitts.

I rekt my mother in laws oven like that, I only ever had electric oven/stoves my whole lives, my gf, gas. I bought my in laws a nice plastic cutting board since they only had fucking GLASS CUTTING BOARDS since the day i met them. Well, long story short, I pre heated their oven before starting prep at their house, and 10 minutes later, fucking billowing black smoke outta nowhere, turns out mom didnt feel like the drying rack was good enough for the plastic board and was gonna dry it by pilot light. That smell/stains never really came out...she replaced that old pos stove that same year anyway.
