Just Tuesday I opened a pressure cooker before it was completely “de-pressurized”. Spewed hot liquid all over the countertops, onto the bottom of the backsplash, down the cabinets, and onto the floor. Luckily I didn’t burn myself. Felt like a dumbass and made a huge mess that took forever to clean up. I rarely use a pressure cooker. Oh well, lesson learned haha.

Similar thing. Used a chef knife to prepare squash and then rested the knife on one of those clam shells that leftovers are put in. Lifted the leftovers from the clam shell onto a pan, the knife popped into the air and off the counter. The back corner of the knife hit the top of my foot cutting the tendon to my big toe. Small cut, maybe 1/2", but perfectly placed.

This reminds me of the time I grabbed a jar of natural peanut butter from the fridge. I grabbed it by the lid and it wasn’t on all the way and dropped and hit the concrete floors. Natural, oily pb and shards of glass are not a fun combo

Not me but the old lady left our 20 year old perfectly seasoned cast iron skillet in the oven and put it on the oven cleaner setting. 20 years of seasoning gone just like that. And the burnt smell in the house was awful.

Also, had one of those salad spinners and I had it spinning like crazy, took my hands off the spinner and laid out a perfectly round lettuce circle in the kitchen. It actually looked pretty impressive how round it was.

Pantless is worse.




When people as me for kitchen advice, my first response to them is always-----"Never cook bacon naked".

Not surprisingly, most know exactly what that means.

Lit a cigar on a gas stove burner and singed my hair.

Turned on gas burner but did not notice it failed to light. Got a phone call and got distracted for 20 minutes. Went back and started to light the burner, in a room now filled with gas. But something, or someone, gave me pause.

Would that something happen to be your NOSE???


No way in hell you can't smell a gas leak since they put a nasty smelling chemical in the natural gas mix to make it obvious.

Slicing a watermelon without using a cutting board... cost me the tip of my knife when it hit the quartz countertop after the rind split suddenly. Thank goodness for lifetime warranties.

I pulled a metal handled pan out of the oven using a pot holder. Placed the pan on the burner of the stove so that I could position the pot holder I was holding on the counter behind me so that I could move the pan to the counter. Then proceeded to grab the pan to move it.

Tried heating something in a glass bowl on a gas burner on the stovetop. It shattered of course.

I was blending up either a hot bbq sauce or salsa in a blender. I turned it on without my hand on top, and the burst off and sauce exploded so high it covered the ceilings in my kitchen.

When I was a teenager I ended up opening up a Tombstone pizza from the cellophane and put it in the oven with the cardboard still on the bottom. I thought it was the pizza only because it was stuck to the bottom and I of course didn’t look underneath it because the toppings would fall off. It cooked the toppings through and chard the cardboard but the bread was still doughy. Couldn’t continue to cook it without the cardboard to get the dough cooked without burning the toppings. So I just scraped all of the toppings and cheese into a bowl and ate it like that.

4 whole canned chipotle peppers for a crock pot roast recipe...

Used only 2 cans because 4 seemed like way to many....

Big mistake when I was first starting to cook... it was not edible.. you could barely breath in the house when I got home from it cooking 8hrs.... it would burn you throat.

I made a batch of margaritas in a blender. Instead of lifting it straight up I decided to unscrew the pitcher from the blade assembly. Of course the bottom came off. You don't want to try to clean up an entire pitcher of sticky margaritas believe me. My gf at the time was not impressed with my bartending skills..

Don't you remember what it was like to be 21? I'm sure I smelled it. It just didn't register immediately.

I woke up hungover one morning years ago and the first two thing I do is feed the cat and make coffee.

I put cat food in the coffee maker and I knew it smelled bad when brewing but again, I was hungover.

One sip, that’s all it took.

I pulled a very large sheet pan out of the oven a few weeks back and as I was closing the oven door with my other hand the pan bumped into my forearm. I jumped in reaction to the pain and hit the same forearm but in another spot. Probably the worst burns I’ve had, they scabbed up and still look bad. I bet there will be a scar there for a year or so. The worst part is it looks like infected track marks. Thank goodness for winter weather so I can wear long sleeves.
