I made pizza just yesterday! Of course, I used pre-made pizza dough. I stuffed the crust with cheese, and it was delicious.

As for awful cooking mishaps, well, I have a couple. Last year, I was at a friend's house, and I decided to make everyone pancakes for breakfast. Well, they have a gas stove, and, after turning on the gas, I completely forgot to light it. If I hadn't eventually remembered, awful things would've happened.

This one isn't really my fault. A couple summers ago, at around 2 in the morning, my sister decided to fry some chicken on our stove. After finishing, she forgot to turn the stove off. The oil kept heating and starting smoking and then caught on fire before we realized it. She screamed and told me to go turn the stove off and move the pan, but I have asthma and it was so smoky that I had to run in there quickly. While I was coughing my lungs out, she told me to throw some water on the pan. HA. Was she trying to kill me? At the time, I didn't know water and oil fires didn't get along. Fire subsequently burst into the entire kitchen, barely missing my face. Scared us to death. After the fire eventually died down, we ran outside to cough and laugh our asses off.

When I was like 10 or something, and had gotten my braces off and so was wearing a retainer, I was eating lunch that had been heated up. But the food wasn't warm enough to I put it back in the microwave. With my retainer on the plate. The thing, of course, caught fire and was warped completely out of shape. Expensive mistake

My partner and I are great cooks. Although, I hate cooking with anyone else. I like being in total control. The one thing I can NEVER get right is the flipping of pancakes/hotcakes/flap-jack/what-have-you. I always make them big and always have trouble in the flip.

Same thing always happens to me, though those giant pancake spatula do help, I also don't wait for it to be cooked enough since I tend to cook them on low heat. So they end up all deform half the time.

I once made mashed potatoes that had the consistency of soup. It was awful.

But that was years ago. I make damn good mashed potatoes now.

In attempting to soften up some butter, in the microwave it went.

In it's wrapping.

Which turned out to be tinfoil-based.

lol, fire.

I can't think of any cooking horror stories of my own at the moment.

I'd just like to add, though, that my dad makes a killer homemade pizza

Spaghetti Soup is the worst I've done so far.

There is a legend of someone who once frequented EoFF who couldn't understand why his tacos were so terrible until he realized he used cabbage instead of lettuce.

In Mexico, they use cabbage instead of lettuce actually.

[Raistlin]

Someone should let Bleys know.

[Jojee]

Yes! @ pancakes. I've never been able to get pancakes right Some pancake master should teach us ^_^

And I've done the cabbage thing before... I bought what I thought was lettuce for a salad, and then realized it wasn't, so I couldn't have my salad.

I burned a layer of skin off my hand using the oven a month ago. People are still asking me "Omg what happened to your hand" even though it's super healed and looks a ton better already. :mog:

I can make awesome pancakes.
I once caught the stove on fire making grilled cheese.

[Jowy]

I hit the "popcorn" button on the microwave once foolishly believing my popcorn would come out perfect.

Nope.

when I was in secondary school, for one of my food class cooking projects, I tried to make some beef burgers but my end result was a meat loaf.
