Yeah..... I put it in the microwave for 13 minutes instead of 1 minute 30 seconds. Sitting on the couch and saw smoke bellowing into the living room. Needless to say, I am forbidden from using the microwave from now on.

I once set toaster oven on fire trying to crisp up potato chips. Lol. I'm a pretty good cook though. Don't give up, unless you're purposefully trying to get out of kitchen duties2

Haha a little better lol.I once set toaster oven on fire trying to crisp up potato chips. Lol. I'm a pretty good cook though. Don't give up, unless you're purposefully trying to get out of kitchen duties
Nope. Just one mishap away from a full blown house fire. I was told I can't even use an easy bake oven lol.2 -
Oh dear. My son did that to our microwave with a bowl of (dry) malt o meal. Of course he was 3 at that time
Don't sweat it! Sleep deprived mommy moments happen to the best of us. 3 -
My friend forgot about eggs she was hard boiling on the stove until they burned and started smoking. Her house smelled awful for months!4

I had a roommate start making ramen when they got home from the bar one night. Fill the pot with water-check, turn on burner-check, put noodles in pot-check, pass out on the couch-check.
I woke up around 6:30 or so to black smoke from the melted noodles filling the apartment. Pretty safe to say that pot was no Bueno after that.2 -

In my experience, they start exploding at some point, so you end up with egg popcorn ceiling above your stove ( didn't have microwave oven over it to catch that s#it), hehe. I was 8 or so, cartoons or movies on tv , eggs on the stove. .. bad combo0 -
Oh my god. I hope neither SO was home to witness this.1

:laugh:
I'm sorry. I really shouldn't laugh, but this is just too funny.
At least you didn't cause an entire dorm to be evacuated at 3am because that "snack" you were making set off the fire alarm.

Ok, I'll be the one to say it. "am not allowed," "am forbidden," "been banned," "I was told I can't even use an easy bake oven." I hope you're joking, but seeing similar language 4 times in just one thread is more than a little concerning.3

Both were home lol, just not near the kitchen.TeacupsAndToning wrote: »I lit my shirt on fire while making grilled cheese a few months ago. I was actually so depressed because I loved that shirt.

Not really kidding. Obviously you don't know me. How is that concerning?2 -

How?
Okay, wow, you're in luck because I wanted to take a break from doing my actual work so I drew my stove in Paint for you.
Basically, I had burner A on to maximum because I was boiling soup and I had burner B on medium because I was making grilled cheese. I decided, because I am oh so smart, that instead of taking one step to the left from where I was along the counter and then putting the cheese onto the bread in the frying pan, that noooooo, it would be easier if I just leaned over burner A to put the cheese onto the bread on burner B.
My shirt was loose fitting so it moved away from my body and voila.
Sweater was on fire.
I shouldn't laugh, but I couldn't help but giggle, because I likely would have done the same thing.1 -
We had an electrician friend come in just to be sure I didn't fry anything. Thankfully electricity is fine. We do however need a new microwave-apparently I fried that. Bummer!!!0

My sister-in-law burned down the kitchen once boiling water. She thought she had turned the burner with the kettle on high but instead turned on the burner that the pan of bacon grease was on. She went to the other room and, of course, the grease caught on fire. By the time the fire department got there the kitchen was totally gone.
She was banned from using the stove for a very long time.1 -

Awsome! I remember the last cooking accident well.
I really have to take a leaf out of your book so I can get banned from the kitchen.
Ugh, I take that back. If I got banned from the kitchen I would have to vacuum and I loathe, hate, and despise, doing that.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers, h.3 -

Lol. Cleaning up was not fun. Lots of fans, lots of Clorox wipes and had to evacuate baby and animals for the day to my one SO's brother's house. I don't recommend.1 -
I almost blew up our pressure cooker, I went out to help a neighbor get her cat out of a tree. When I came back, the pressure cooker bottom had bowed out severely. When people say they are afraid of cooking with pressure cookers, I just laugh.3

If it helps any, when my older daughter was a baby I was warming up some baby food jars in a pan of water. I wandered off to continue reading a book (this was the basis of a lot of household disasters when I was younger) and of course forgot about the stove. Unfortunately, I had left the lids on the jars, and when the steam built up they exploded
The ceiling was never the same. Books were banned from the kitchen. My daughters are fully grown and the story is still circulating at family gatherings... 5 -
