When I was a kid my parents forbid me to use the toaster since I always slid a knife in to help me reach my warm bready goal.
I do this .. however once I put the knife in too early and tripped the fuse box. Everything went black and a lot of fuses had to be changed.

The first time I used a microwave I thought the 30 was in seconds ... 25 mins later we wondered why there was no xmas pud and what that burning smell was, it was an odd mix off charcoal pud and melted plastic.

I swear on anything you like this is true.

In school we had to make bread, I made it exactly the same as everybody else, I made 2 dough balls and a somebody platted the rest into a foot long plat, I stuck it in the oven and it came out fine, as I was walking home I ate the balls.

Never got round to eating the plat, 4 years later it started to go moldy!

I wish I didn't eat those balls now. It was just bread, no varnish or anything extra was in it. Of course after one week it was solid as a rock, it was a bready weapon.

Sorry, I just realized I kind of necro'd this thread.

My friend and I were making scones in Home Economics. Siffice it to say that these scones were nicknamed "mud 'n rock".

As long as it is not sliced, bread can last quite a while. Standard run of the mill sliced bread from the store lasts longer if you don't use the heels til last.

So I stuck a bunch of sandwiches in the oven, turned it on and forgot about it. Good thing my mom came in before they vaporized. Unfortunately, she now tells people I burned her kitchen to the ground...

I do a lot of cooking and some baking, so I've had my fair share. I was baking a white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake. It needed to be submerged half-way in water, in a springform pan in the oven. I went to take it out to check on it, and there was a bit of the oven mitt that didn't have insulation anymore, so I burned my hand and was forced to drop the tub of water, which caused the springform pan to pop open and the partially baked cheesecake splattered all over the floor, along with like 4 litres of boiling water.

Also, I baked a birthday cake for my mom once, and after it was baked, I noticed that there were holes in some of the boxes of baking supplies in our cupboard. Then I noticed that the graham cracker crumbs that I used for the base of the cake were filled with mouse shit.

I discovered that it's possible to burn broth without burning anything else in the soup. Both my cooking teacher and myself were at a loss for words; neither of us cold figure out how it was possible. I mean, how did I burn water?

Just a couple of incidents of forgetting to adjust the toaster back to bread-time (3) rather than the crumpet-time (7).

I found out what happens if you don't stab the top of a microwave meal several times... there is a loud bang and your dinner is dribbling off the roof and walls of the microwave. Appetising stuff.

In school cookery classes we were baking some biscuits or something and we all were checking how they were doing about 10 mins in. One guy was like "oh mine aren't doing anything, I don't think it's lit". Before the teacher could go "NO!" He pressed the gas igniter, the oven which was effectively a gas chamber ignited, there was a massive bang, the door blew open and a fire ball came out setting off the alarms. That was a pretty fun lesson.

I had a new microwave. For popping popcorn I had to put the dial on 20, so with the new one I thought: Oh, it's in minutes... Erm.. 20!

After a while they stopped popping and I smelled smoke coming from the microwave. The smell sticked for a week or so.

This one time I was barbequing prawns, and the prawns wern't quite dead yet. One jumped right up in my face. I stumble backwards, knock the grill over, and set the lawn on fire.

I've set steak on fire before too. And not those cheap ass steaks you get from the market either, these were imported Wagyû steaks, not the kind you want to be setting on fire.

I've had a bag of popcorn burst into flames once and I accidentally set peanut butter on fire a few years back.

I often make a salad. After adding all the ingredients and mixing it up I'll add the dressing... only to quickly turn the bottle around, and see that it's many weeks old. It wouldn't be to bad, but I do this about once every four months.
