Bake at 3000° for 27 Seconds.

Okay so the plan was to make pizza (homeade). I opened the 47¢ package of instant dough and got to making! Oven at 475° and dough ready to go!

Then it happened. All hell broke lose. The dough would not roll or spread into a nice flat circle and I eventually gave up. No pizza tonight.

Suffice it to say, I'm eating some grinders now. At least those are easy.

I'm like the world's worst cook.

Exchange some cooking horror stories!

Also, just as a side-note, cooking pizzas is my primary source of income.

I was making some Chef Boy Pasta and playing video games. I forgot about the pasta on the stove and did not remember until the smoke alarm went off.

Gingerbread men are supposed to be cooked at 220C for 10 minutes.

Gingerbread women are supposed to be burned alive at 3000C for 15 days.

Cooking never goes good when I take a nap. My Mac and Cheese caught on fire.

I was adding whiskey to the caramel at work. We use gas stoves. I left the burner on as I always did up to that point. I stir, no flying flame, so I figured all the alcohol burned. I lean a bit closer as I finish cooking it. Next thing I know there's fire and I singe my bangs. Lesson of the story: when adding alcohol turn off the heat, then put it back on when fully mixed in. Also, being gay and catching fire leads to some obvious jokes from my co-workers.

Yarsy, that's why you buy pre-packaged already-made pizza crusts

My worst cooking story would probably be when I didn't realize it would take quite so long to fry chicken via frying pan...ate dinner at after 10 pm

P.S. The chicken was really tasty

Did you spin the dough on your finger?!?!

I have a few, mostly they're stuff my sister has done thankfully. I'm a good cook I just happen to hate cooking so it's not like me to make many mistakes. The below is the best of the bunch though:

We had an older microwave at my mom's, me and my sister had to go buy a new one for her because my sister put a jacket potato in the microwave and somehow set it on fire!

How, just how in the hell do you set fire to the MICROWAVE via cooking a baked potato in there? To this day we never found out.

The worst story I have is of a barbecue in a garden party it started raining pretty softly but enough to dampen down the coals and make lots of smoke so to keep the fire going some idiot poured a full bottle of vodka on the coals, the resulting explosion of burning alcohol caught a part of the awning on fire briefly, thankfully the canvas was flame proofed.

Forgot to take off the tin foil off the pasta......While I was heating it in the mircowave.....

[blackmage_nuke]

Not many disasters but a third of my cooking makes me want to throw up after/while im eating it.

Holy crap I just made pasta mama for breakfast and it turned out great! Well it could use some spice but otherwise, I didn't burn down the house.

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.
