News for Blibble - Thats NOT what they mean when they say "finger food". While I was in college, I worked in a sandwich store. One of my duties was to slice the sandwich meats and then clean the slicing machine afterwards. At least once a week I'd cut myself on the stupid thing, which was bad enough, but then afterwards, when making sandwiches (which included oil and vinegar) the pain of that stuff going into the cut was awful. After I was done complaining about a particularly bad cut, the assistant manager (a young guy who wasn't particularly bright, but was as funny as hell) took it upon himself to show me the correct way to use the slicer. As he was slicing one of the cheeses he announced, "Hey look at me, I'm cutting the cheese" and to add to the joke he tried to force himself to fart. He ended up shitting in his pants. (The name of the store was "Submarine Village"; thereafter he was known as the Village Idiot).

Hope your finger's okay blibble. I was expecting a mishap such as burning a steak or something. When my younger boy was in fourth grade, he was opening a microwaveable can of pasta. As he was opening the tab and pulled back the top, he sliced a couple of his fingers and needed eight stitches. His finger was bandaged and he wasn't allowed to play sports for ten games. His team had a playoff game on the ninth day, so we let him play a little early. While dribbling the ball, he noticed his bandage, which had been covering his fingers, had fallen off. He continued to dribbleas he was searching the floor for it. He finally found it, kept his dribble going and scooped it up. It was only then that he decided to pass to put the bandage on. My mishaps are mostly burns from the oven when I'm broiling.

Every time I cook it's a mishap.
Hey! You stole my line. I tried making a birthday cake for my wife when we were dating. She threw it at me. The whole cake.

Nothing major on my end other than completely wasting money on good food i ruined... I keep a fire extinguisher on hand, never had to use it, I guess the biggest mishap was trying to make paella once and just wound up eating the seafood and throwing out most of the rice... emeril often says "the best part about cooking, is that you still get to eat even if you made a mistake"... true, how good it tastes is another issue... but nothing worse than paying top dollar for a piece of seafood or steak and then just destroying it because you didnt take the time/thought/planning to do it right... entering november this reminds me why i never cooked a turkey, one of these days maybe, but till now, going over friends or relatives has worked just fine and just as well as roitesserie turkey from the supermarket... LOL

My wife makes turkey in the crock pot.
It is so tender and juicy I can't eat a turkey from the oven anymore! Care to share her recipe LN. I might try it this Thanksgiving.

Well she gets a turkey small enough to fit in a big crockpot, has me cut off the ribs, puts some water in there, salt, pepper, and maybe a few other spices. Cook on low for 8-12 hours or so.
I think that's it.

Anyone ever try deep frying a turkey?
I've seen big deep fryers on sale at WalMart (made especially for turkeys) and have always wondered what it tasted like (deep-fried). We did that a couple years ago at a big family dinner. Everybody enjoyed it. Tasted great.

Does she stuff the turkey before she puts it in the crockpot? Hello this is Mrs. Longneck I don't stuff it because there is evidence that the stuffing then contains more bacteria from the Turkey so I cook mine separate. I do use the juices thought to make it instead of water so that you get that turkey flavor but its safer. I don't know how you could stuff it and put it in the crock pot because theres nothing to stuff after cutting the ribs off you have to do this so that the Turkey breast will fit. Its just the Turkey breast because Casey does not like the dark meat and neither do I. Then I put some water in it or the bottom dries out eventually the Turkey will release enough juice that you may need to remove some of the juice before its actually done. I also put salt, pepper (fresh ground), and also some herbs or Italian seasoning that way it looks nice too. When you go to remove it from the pot it will fall apart into peices its sooooo tender and juicy. I put it on low the night before like at 10 or 11 and then its ready the next day at 11 or 12 then I turn to warm just so it stays warm until I get the sides ready.

Many years ago, for a Christmas dinner, we decided to make an old-fashioned mince pie the traditional way.
I started weeks in advance, preparing the mincemeat. This mostly consisted of periodically replenishing the alcohol content as everything was absorbed.
Well, when it came time to eat the baked mince pie, it was inedible to almost everyone. It tasted like pure turpentine. Our modern American taste buds were just not used to the real, traditional, homemade mince pies the way they were made back in the time of Charles Dickens. One woman did say that she would like to bring any and all leftovers to her elderly father. He was Irish, and hadn't had something like this in many years; this would absolutely remind him of what he grew up enjoying. So, she took pretty much the entire pie home with her, with our blessing. Her dad loved it.

I love deep fried turkey, I've had it down south and it's delicious, but talk about a potential kitchen disaster? Here's a link: Deep Fried Turkey Disaster

I'v only recently heard many say that deep fried turkey is really good. I'd try it, but damn, after seeing that video, it'd be just my luck I'd not just burn my house down but probably wipe out my entire family. That's really scary. Surely there's gotta be an easier way to deep fry a turkey????? TIS

Well they did say the turkey was only partially thawed and that's why the huge fireball. All I can say to whomever might try it..follow directions very carefully. I have had my share of cooking mishaps, and was trying to think of a really different one, but I guess I've had the normal mishaps like burning the roast or undercooking the turkey; one time as a newlywed, we had another couple over for dinner. I had just learned how to make spaghetti sauce. The only problem was I only made enough sauce for two people but cooked enough noodles for four. Needless to say, the pasta was pretty darn dry. Don't know what I was thinking. I must say though, that particular blunder never happened again. My family in Michigan and my aunt's family still tease me about my famous "lopsided" cake. Don't even ask. I don't know what/how I did it but it was an oblong cake that more or less looked like a hill. TIS

Mig, I can't make pie crust!! I tried for years and finally gave up. It seems like I'd always have to end up patching it together. I'll buy the frozen crust, it's easier. I feel I'm better (and more confident) at cooking meals as opposed to desserts. Maybe cause I don't usually care too much for the desserts, I don't know. Yet, I can make chocolate cookies from scratch and those aren't bad. TIS

We nearly always used packaged biscuits and pie crusts. After a continuous series of disasters with the crusts, we gave up and looked around for a good commercial brand. I really think that's the key - experimentation because there is so much to choose from out there.
One pseudo-mishap comes to mind, but it has nothing to do with baking:
Around 15 years ago, I gave my late father and The Bee-yotch (his wife) our recipe for pasta with tuna and olive sauce (I posted it in another thread in this forum). I mailed them the full instructions, and waited to hear how everything turned out.
After a couple of weeks, I still hadn't heard anything, so I called him and asked him what they thought of the tuna sauce recipe. He said it was terrible. I was shocked, to say the least. I asked him if they had followed my directions exactly, and he said they had. Then I asked him if there were problems with the spaghetti. "Spaghetti?" he replied. "Yeah," I said, "What happened with the spaghetti?" There was a silence on the other end of the phone, then he sheepishly confessed that they hadn't made any! He had forgotten all about that part. I gently reminded him that it was a sauce, meant to be served over pasta, and that they should try it once more, but the proper way. But, stubborn person that he was, he wouldn't do it.
After that, I gave up. I don't believe I ever sent him another recipe.

SV, You're right on the variety of frozen crusts these days. They have some supposedly "easy to roll" dough I have yet to try. Talking about biscuits, etc, true story from just a couple hours ago. I went to the grocery store with my daughter (the one with 3 kids). She's loading up the cart and gets some frozen mini pancakes. She makes a comment about how she's not making the "homemade" kind......"I said you mean like Aunt Jemima where you just add water?" She said "yes". I cracked up and said, "that's not homemade. Homemade is buying the proper flour and making literally from scratch. We both got a good laugh. TIS

Cooking mishap - I wanted a two egg omelette today. I got everything ready (scrambling the eggs, lightly oiled the pan, etc.) and poured the eggs into the pan after a few minutes.... it wasn't cooking. I could feel the heat and couldn't understand "why" it wasn't cooking. Then it hit me.... I turned on the wrong burner on the stove.

There was one very serious cooking mishap that happened when I was a little over two years old. In fact, it is possibly my earliest memory.
We lived in a small house in the suburbs, and it happened one afternoon when my father was at work.
I was with my mother, and we were both in the kitchen. She was making preparations for dinner, and was preheating the oven. After several minutes, she checked the oven and noticed that it was not lit. So, she opened the oven door to relight it. I was standing quite near her. She didn't realize that the gas had built up within the oven, and as she bent over and struck the match all the gas ignited with what I can only describe as a noise like a huge explosion. A literal wall of flame shot out of the oven over my mother and me. The fireball was huge, but it only lasted around a second or two - we were burned, but not set on fire. I ran screaming out of the house through the kitchen's side door absolutely convinced my mother had been killed. Nobody could possibly live through that, I thought. Neighbors found me still screaming in the backyard, holding my hands to my face to try and stop the pain from the burns.
Amazingly enough, the burns were actually minor, and we were both okay in a few days. But, at the time, to a two-year-old, it seemed like the end of the world.

That's a scary story, Signor V. Your mother must have been worried. What kind of burns did you both have?
Those brief fireballs are something else. On a much smaller scale, I was once cooking on a grill at a picnic/fundraiser, and lifted the top of the grill, and saw nothing but a sudden, brief wall of flame all around. I didn't feel a thing, other than a rush of surprise, but seconds afterward someone asked me, "Where did your eyebrows go?"

My ex and I bought a house in 1980. One of its main selling points to us was its modern, well equipped kitchen. It had a six burner stove with two ovens and we were anxious to try it. The day we moved in I went to light the oven, holding a match to the oven's pilot light, but it didn't light. I tried the other oven. Same result. I couldn't figure it out until ALL OF A SUDDEN the oven went on.... we'd never had a self-igniting oven before.

Wow...they had electricity back then? It was a gas stove - still the best way to cook as far as I'm concerned. What kind of burns did you both have? The burns were first-degree and our hair and eyebrows were a bit singed. My mother also sprained her wrist because she fell over when the flames flashed. She got the worst of it - she was kneeling down right in front of the open oven door while I was standing a couple of feet to her right, watching her. My father came home as fast as he could and we both saw the doctor that day. I remember we were given some sort of salve for the burns, and my mother's wrist was bandaged. She was told to rest in bed for a few days, which she did. All in all, probably the scariest moment of my young life. Signor V.

I must've missed this thread the first time around...lots of interesting stories!
It's nice to read here and know that I'm not alone in cooking troubles. haha
Several years ago, I tried making an Italian Cream Cake, something my mom makes often and well. It's three layers, and my screw-up was that I somehow forgot about the icing and put two layers together with nothing in between. We were able to get the top layer off okay to add the icing, luckily. My fear was that the layer would just crumble apart when we tried moving it.
And I get really mad at myself anytime I burn cookies, so much that I think I've become paranoid, and now my mom claims I try to take them out too soon. I like to notice people's various cookie preferences. My brother likes chewy soft cookies, what seems not fully cooked. My grandpa actually likes burnt cookies, so he's the savior when I burn any, because I know he'll eat them.

I had a cooking mishap, I ate a 2 inch think Delmonico too fast
He - (Simón BolÃvar) - was shaken by the overwhelming revelation that the headlong race between his misfortunes and his dreams was at that moment reaching the finishing line. The rest was darkness. "Damn it," He sighed. "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!" So what’s the labyrinth? That’s the mystery isn’t it? Is the labyrinth living or dying? Which is he trying to escape - the world, or, the end of it?

Hmmm, I guess the Thread killer strikes again

A bacon tray will come in handy; also known, I believe, as a defrosting tray (I re-name things according to my own purpose ): ^ The fat drains into the grooves. Cover it with a microwaveable bowl.

It doesn't top DMC's grizzly misadventures with knives but a few months ago I was innocently making a can of Chef Boyardee ravioli or spaghetti & meatballs or whatever and cut my left thumb pretty badly trying to open the can. There was a profuse amount of blood everywhere and the gash took quite a while to heal. Needless to say I now employ greater caution while opening cans of Chef Boyardee and other canned foods. The exact thing happened to my son 3 1/2 years ago.And it was Chef Boyardee ravioli with the pop top for the microwave. My daughter told me that he was bleeding and he was fine until I took his hand, squeezed it and the blood squirted up. He got a few stitches, and couldn't play basketball for ten days. He actually played after 7 days because his team was in the playoffs. During the game, while dribbling the ball, the thick bandage came off. Realizing it came off, he started looking all over for it...while dribbling the ball the whole time. He finally found it, scoooped it up and only then did he pass the ball so he could put it back on. The doctor in the ER said that it was surprising the number of people who slice themselves opening those cans.

The one my son used was a pop top with a tab that you pop, like a can of soda, and then peel back. Yeah, I got cut on the same one. With a can of pop or beer though, the tab doesn't flip up with the same force and at the same angle as the Chef Boy can and that's why you really can't cut cut yourself while opening a cold one. The old Chef Boy cans didn't have the dangerous pop tops so they could be opened pretty easily with a decent can opener but the new ones all have the pop tops. Just a case of a company not being able to leave well enough alone.

There are two types of openers that I know of. The ones with a circular blade that make an incision on the tin are the dangerous ones. The ones which cleanly remove the top without making any cut are fantastic. I am using one such can opener for more than a year and it is one of the most satisfactory tools to use The one my son used was a pop top with a tab that you pop, like a can of soda, and then peel back. I use a can opener that cuts through the top, and then you twist the knob and it cuts around. How do you open the can without making any cuts? Even in mine, you need to twist the knob and it "cuts" around. But the cut is not the same as in regular opener.The teeth of the cutter are very fine (it is not that circular sharp disc). It removes it from the periphery of the top lid and you cannot even see the cut. My cutter is from "good cook" which you can get in walmart. It is impossible to get cuts from the partially opened tin with this opener. Good one: The dangerous/bloody version:
