Once when I was cooking a hamburger in a pan, I poured a lot of oil into the pan and let it heat up for 5 minutes. That was a stupid idea. I threw the hamburger patty in the pan and HOT HOT HOT oil splattered everywhere (including my face). It hurt so badly. I'm glad I didn't get any in my eyes. My skin was literally peeling (where it was burned) five minutes after the oil hit me. I had to skip the next day of school because it was so bad.

Tell us your cooking catastrophes!

Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!! :blink:

I put salt, pepper, Arm in Hammer Baking Soda (The kind for cleaning the house.) In a batch of Chocolate Brownies. I made SpiderX almost vomit, if by chance she did. I don't know about it. :rolleyes:

That & one time my sis. SpiderX asked me to take the butter bread out of the oven. I burnt the living crap out of my hand. I literally was scream out profanity like no tomorrow. The skin on the palms of my hand blistered over & started bleeding. My mom put cold Aloe Vera all over my hands. Took a few day to heal over, but boy did that hurt. I too share your pain Octibon. :(

Cooking Cheese on toast, the cheese set alight

I once cooked that raviloi from a can on the stove and forgot about it. By the time I remembered it was on the stove it had burnt leaving a huge mess in the kettle to clean up. It took 2 days to get that crap out of the kettle!

I once touched a hot sheet after I took it out of the oven.

I bet that had to hurt dude. I once spilled boiling water on myself. I was running around screaming and swearing for a few minutes!

It did.

been there, done that. I use to work as a Chef, not one of my fun times. When I did that.

Actually the one time, that was funny, was when we left a metal tray on the stove from when we started to when we stopped. We took it off, and put it on the side. It was bending and moving, very funny.

I squeezed the white patch of skin that appeared where I touched it and a clear liquid shot out of it.

my sister cooks a lot. once in a while she still gets injured with hot oil. never mix hot oil with frozen meat either

That's stuff is called pus, you do know you wasn't suppose to do that.
When I burn myself, I put cleanfilm wrapped around it tightly.

pus is yellow. he said clear liquid .that always happen when you get burns. and you should not pop it. that "liquid" aids in the healing of your burns. i should know. my mom is a nurse, my 5 uncles are doctor and one is a well renouned surgeon in the hospital

This is about cooking. Not Puking.

-_- Could have been clear pus!

I HAVE A SENSITIVE STOMACH, TYMON!!! I SAID THIS SECTION IS ABOUT COOKING NOT PUKING!!!!!

That's my last say on the matter.

Oh, yeah I was cooking a chicken leg one day and it took 3 hours to cook. When I got around to eatting the thing I had eaten all the chips, that I had made to go with it.

Bummer.

actuallyaccording to the medical dictionary

that clear fluid is called "serum" or the liquid part of the blood. it usually seperates from the blood when some layers in the inner skin are damaged due to burning.

also it comes out when your blood clots

I have a weak stomach, dude!!!

a weak stomach..combined with a vivid imagination can be very disastrous.

I mainly have a gag reflex.

My Da made french fries one time & later when he was taking something out of the oven. The grease from the fries caught fire & the fire got caught onto his sleeve near his hand. Next thing you know he accident set his hand on fire. It was gross when the skin from his hand fell off right in front of us. I was 6 years old when this happened & wouldn't go near the stove until many years later. :blink:

I can beat you there, Nicole. I was cutting potatos into fry strips and the knife accidentally pierced the flesh on my thumb. It was like a scratch but it hurt like hell.

My mom once cut her thumb really badly while chopping veggies. It was so bad that I had to take over.

Yikes. How much blood???

Nope, I can beat you there. Once when I was trying to open up my Pineapple juice can. I stuck my thumb in the hole to see if it can fit & nearly hacked off my thumb. :lol: I could see the bone & everything. It was so gross & yet so kool & stupid all at the same time. :P :lol:

FYI. I am a very fragile person. Heck if someone wanted to they could break my finger just by pulling it. <_<

OK, you want to really talk about a catastrophe, here's a good one, my Dad prepares a Chicken and Turkey type soup, gets it all heated up nicely, then when he takes it to the table to be served, he drops the pan and all the contents spill onto the floor.

I know worst. :) My dad when I was 6 years old was making french fries & accidentally created a grease fire. :rolleyes: In efforts to stop the fire from burning our old house. He used his bare hand to put out the fire. In the process of doing this he burnt his whole hand to where there was barely any skin left on his hand. His hand looks somewhat normal now. Yet my dad is tan all over (FYI. my dad & siblings can tan. I however cannot. :rolleyes: ), except for that area which he burnt his hand. That part is white. :blink: But not as white as me I'm afraid. :rolleyes: :lol:

OUCH!

That is what I said when my dad finally got the fire under wraps. I never heard him cuss so bad as he ran to his car, slammed on the gas, & raced like a bad out of hell to the hospital. :blink: Of course I don't blame him for cussing as he left the house to his car. I know that I would've done the same thing, except there might've been horrible screams followed by the worst potty mouth anyone has ever heard before. :rolleyes:

That is simply no way to put out a grease fire. Next time get some Arm And Hammer baking soda to put it out. Lesson learned.
