On fire??? How did you manage that? Did you try to fry it?Shemming said:
Anyway I've had a few mishaps when I was a kid, I put a frozen hamburger on a frying pan and it just went up in flames. I was with my cousin and she was screaming until I turned the stove off, lucky I'm not that much of an idiot! Also, me and my cousin (things tend to go wrong when I'm with her) tried to fry noodles which were supposed to be boiled and burned them to charcoal.
OK, usually I'm a great cook, but I managed to do something SO FRIGGIN STUPID. I was making rack of lamb for the first time, and boiling a huge pot of grease for some fries. The lamb caught fire, and I forgot the pot was grease. Threw it on there, enormous fireball, and I burned my kitchen down. I now live in a new apartment.
This was actually something my dad did to a guy when he was a cook in the navy. There was this one Filipino dude that was pretty much useless in the kitchen so when this dude left a pot of water sitting on the stove, my dad snuck in a little soy sauce into the water and convinced the guy that he burnt the water.
I tried to make rolls and they ended being tiny solid balls of bread-based death.
Also, I managed to turn an ommelette into scrambled egg. (It was my first time)

When doing cooking at school (I refuse to call it "Domestic Science") I once made a pizza and had a cleaned-out biscuit tin to bring it home in. Sadly, tape-measures are thin on the ground in kitchens and I made the base a little too big for the tin.
I only found this out after it was all done and tried to get it into the tin. The crust was rather large and resulted in a pizza who's diameter was roughly an inch large than that of the tin.
So I placed the tin upside down (lid off) on the pizza and smacked it with a meat-tenderiser, thus removing the excess crust (which was eaten because I don't like waste!) and making the pizza fit the tin perfectly. It also made the ***** of a teacher jump , which I consider a bonus. Pizza wasn't bad either!
Still, that didn't beat the time when I was at university and got so drunk and, as a result, got a huge attack of the munchies. Digging out a Pot Noodle (a classic student staple food) I got the kettle and for no real reason I poured my beer into the kettle and switched it on. It wasn't until the smell hit that I realised what I'd done and pulled the plug. In a drunken panic, I was convinced that the kettle was ruined and I'd be in the shit when my flatmates woke up in the morning. Knowing they were just cheapy things from the local Tesco's, I staggered out at 2am for an hours round trip to the 24-Hour Tesco's to get a new one.
In the morning I played innocent about the odd smell in the kitchen and claimed it "must be coming from the flat below".
Don't ever try to boil beer...it's not big, it's not clever and it makes the kitchen smell.

I put a bottle of lambs milk with 25ml of milk in it into the microwave for 30 sec. after 10 seconds it imploded
Pretty much everything I do in the kitchen results in failure. I almost dismembered my finger (okay, I sliced a little bit off) when I was opening a packet of pepper. I cried so hard when I cut my first onion that I could barely see what I was doing, and almost stabbed myself. This was pretty recent, actually. And we had to replace half the kitchen after I made pancakes.
Funnily enough though, I can bake. I don't know anyone my age who even bothers to bake anymore. It's harder to set things on fire with an oven. I just have a tendency to burn myself in my eagerness to extract things from said oven.

Didn't happen to me, but a good friend's wife. She quite literally lit a pot of water on fire. Few things can make you raise an eyebrow like a pot of water with the liquid water actually on fire.
In all honesty, she had a little oil in the water, as she planned on boiling some form of noodle. Then, while the pot was heating, had left the house and gone to the neighbors to visit. I come over to visit my friend. he answers the door, and in the background a pot is on fire.
Yes, they both were rocket scientist. Why do you ask? /sarcasm =P

I tried to microwave chocolate, but I typed in the wrong time on the timer, so it was in there, smoking, for about 30 minutes. What didn't help was that the chocolate was in a metal-rimmed bowl. One blown up microwave...
I'm usually pretty good in the kitchen but about a year ago I got too close to to the pan when I was doing flambed bannans in rum and lost my eyebrows and a large portion of beard.
I once moved a deep fat fryer without the lid on, hit something, and got oil all over my face. If my glasses hadn't have been on, I would be blind right now.
I burnt my eyebrows off earlier today when my microwave exploded because I was watching zero punctuation instead of watching my food cook.
What started out as an improvisational fail turned into a wondrous discovery.
I had to make some Asparagus for my parents, and all my pots were semi-damaged (that's another story). So, I grabbed a glass, stuck the asparagus in it, filled it partway up with water, then put in the microwave with some saran wrap. I honestly didn't expect anything of it, but after about 20 seconds it started to boil; I was amazed. After about a minute, I had steamed Asparagus!
