Just out of College and in my first house.
Cooked a big Thanksgiving dinner for the whole family.
Fast forward to Wed of the following week.
"Hmmm... Why haven't I been enjoying leftover turkey sandwiches at work? Oh shite!"
Opens oven to find half a rotted turkey carcass. The smell was, shall we say, intense. Turkey got stuck in the turned off oven during clean up because my tiny arse condo kitchen didn't have enough counter space for all the dishes.
Several bottles of champagne and cases of beer later. We forgot it was in there.

Nothing major...First time I cooked a turkey (college years), I used a Reynold's cooking bag. Checked the oven while it was cooking and saw the little bag of giblets floating in the juice inside the cooking bag.
Last year my 12 y.o. attempted to cook one of those microwavable Velveeta shells 'n cheese cups before I got home. He forgot to add water to the cup so it turned into a charred, melted cup. His big sister called to tell me the microwave almost caught on fire, and they were still airing the smoke out of the house when I got home.

Cooked some chicken on the Big Green Egg, decided to toss a couple of eggplants onto the grate to char as the grill cooled off. Sent my husband out 45 minutes later to get them. He touches the first one with the tongs and it exploded like a vegetable bomb. Splattered him, the adjacent car, the driveway, and caused the second eggplant to blow up like 30 seconds later. He had some speckled burns across his arms and the car needed a scrubbing.

I don't cook much and haven't tried too many difficult things so I don't have much to add.
About 10 years ago I purchased some kind of pork skin/cracklin thing from the grocery store that you were supposed to be able to microwave. Not sure what I did wrong, but I burnt the hell out of it and the house stunk for a week.

A buddy in collage went to cook some rice in his plastic microwave rice cooking contraption. However the microwave was too small to fit it with the contraptions lid on. So he took it off and put a magnalight pot lid on it instead. Fast forward about 7 min and it looked like a thunderstorm in the microwave with a odd oder coming out. It was the smell that got our attention.

Had a plan to make awesome burgers one night. Ended up staying out later than expected and the rest of the family said screw it and ate cereal. I was dead set on a burger, so I made a patty and heated up the cast iron skillet. That thing smoked so much it set off the fire alarm. I thought we fixed it by yanking the batteries out, but the house alarm system had already called the fire department. Didn’t know it until the flashing lights showed up in my driveway. I offered them a burger but the declined.

First time making Kraft mac n cheese as a kid. Forgot a simple, yet key step in directions: “drain”. I added powdered cheese and it just clumped up and became a disgusting looking mess. Had to throw it all out and I was starving.

Was inebriated and attempted homemade pizza. Dough wasn’t quite stiff enough and my dumbass used one of those perforated pans with all the holes. 10 mins later had dough pellets all over the bottom of the oven

Too many things happening in the kitchen, dropped a Pyrex casserole dish on a hot burner because the oven mitt was getting a little toasty. Turned around to move things to get the Pyrex off and, oops, explosion. Glass flew everywhere. Had some nice cuts from flying glass. That was a bitch.

All the propane built up inside the pit. It burned the tips of some of my eyebrows and some of my hair. Could have been alot worse.
Hannah Storm from ESPN was burned pretty badly in a similar explosion.

Using one of those old school popcorn poppers where you put the oil in, let it pop and flip it over...whoever started it used like a cup of oil in it instead of a few tablespoons and didn’t securely seal the lid. When I flipped it over, the lid flew off and about a half cup of 425 degree oil went straight down the left side of my bare chest and stomach, taking all the skin with it. My left nipple, as well as a 3 inch wide strip down my stomach, was lighter in color than the right one for many years after that.

Never deep fry while in the nude.

Living in my first college apartment, I thought it would be a great idea to make some fried chicken. Poured a gallon of vegetable oil in a cast iron pot and set the stove to high to heat. Went to living room to watch some TV and heard sound like a poof. Looked over the back of the couch to see flames scorching the hood. Jumped up and ran as fast as possible to the kitchen, covered the pot with a lid. The fire went out but massive plumes of acrid smoke were bellowing out of the pot. It was rapidly filling the entire apartment so I rushed to open as many windows as possible. The smoke took about 30 seconds to fill 1000 sq ft and it was burning my eyes. Smoke was pouring out of the windows - I couldn't believe nobody called the FD. Went to the hardware store and bought some box fans and stuck them in the the windows. Almost burned the entire complex down that day. Entire apartment smelled like crap for about a month. Friends were not happy.

My grandmother's oven automatically switched to clean with a turkey inside! Melted the baking bad to the bird.
And it didn't stop when we turned it off and back on. I had to trip the breaker.

When I was in college, we had a FryDaddy...forgot to take off the plastic lid and only figured it out when I took my fries out later and they had black goo all over them.
A few weeks ago in our office, someone used my toaster oven. I'm paranoid about letting people use it because it's the only one in the building and I know if I set off the smoke detector there will be no more toaster oven. Someone comes to ask if they can use it, and I say yes. They take the tiny pan that is on the wire rack and instead of putting it somewhere on the counter, they put it underneath the wire rack, and apparently right on top of the heating element. You can figure this one out from here. I notice a smell, open the oven door and smoke POURS out of it. I grab the pan and throw it in my mini-fridge (why I'm not sure, and man it was hot) and the smoke detectors go off, the building of a couple hundred people has to evacuate, and the fire department comes. Luckily we were able to call and tell them what was going on so they took their time, but they had to come check it out.
Shockingly enough, nobody in our office building seemed to care and I still have the toaster oven. Nobody uses it but me.
On the positive note, I did sing this to the offender:

Some weird people out there. We have a friend that hates to cook. Never uses her oven. It's an extension to her base cabinets and just keeps shite in there like regular storage.
