What's one cooking mishap you've had? One of mine's just happened a dew minutes ago. I was cooking eggs with oil, and decided to see what would happen when I put water in the pan. My face still hurts.  

In that fact your face would be burned off and you probably couldnt see anymore/for a while.  

I tried to fry porridge oats last week.  

I was making pancakes and decided to put everything in the mix including the PAM.... I vomitted shortly after...  

my toaster oven caught on fire this summer o.o  

i was making chocalate covered cicadas. the cicadas werent too happy about being dumped into boiling water and i had to swat the flying half boiled noisy things back into the water with a spatula. the chocalate covered cicadas were delicous though.

You're lucky you got away without burning your house down. It should be every parents responsibility to show their children what happens when you put water in grease, and how to properly deal with a grease fire(smothering).

My only mishap I imagine would be flipping a burger in a pan and having a 6ft flam shoot out of the pan.

O.o why that happened? Anything wrong with the pan?

Did the grease and oil flip up along with the burger creating the flame?

Not sure what happened, could have just been from the burger being frozen when I put it on and the other side still having traces of water.

It just popped oil in my face. My parents are kinda busy, so I have to find out everything myself. Thanks for the tip.

There are a lot of things that can go wrong cooking, but grease is the most dangerous and "finding things out on your own" are how houses actually get burnt down. It only takes a small portion of water(teaspoon) in deep enough grease to erupt into a huge ball of fire.  

When I threw a pop tart (with tinfoil pouch) in the microwave, there's this pop tart shaped ash inside my microwave, I then decided to push my luck and throw in a tinfoil ball, guess who now has a new microwave?  

Microwaved syrup too long. Ended up with caramelized maple sugar.  

Protip: Stick a fork in a toaster.
