15 Kitchen Disasters That Will Make You Say "Damn, Son"

    Rule #1: Never leave anything on a burner.

    We recently asked the BuzzFeed Community to share their worst fails in the kitchen. These are their stories.

    1. "My mother wanted to make the cake filling for my grandma's birthday cake but then the mixer kind of exploded. Days after it still smelled like vanilla pudding and whipped cream."

    2. "My husband thought he could put the crock pot in the oven because the lid has glass but what he forgot was the handle was made out of plastic."

    3. "I just wanted a cup of coffee."

    4. "When I was eight I decided to make cupcakes but accidentally swapped the sugar and the flour quantities. My brother then dared me to eat them so I did and threw up constantly for the next two days."

    5. "I smelled burning one day and came downstairs go see burnt hard boiled eggs with my genius roommate passed out on the couch."

    6. "I forgot how close my rice cooker was to a pot of boiling water for sweet potatoes and well…"

    7. "I accidentally pushed ‘pulse’ while making a smoothie while the lid was off. Go me!"

    8. "Oops…"

    9. "I was making a stir-fry and I placed the blue plastic bag of frozen chicken breast strips on a very hot burner and left it there. For a while."

    10. "I had a binder full of recipes that I was consulting while attempting to make homemade yogurt. There was this really odd smell but I thought nothing of it because I’m a moron, until there was smoke billowing up from the binder. I turned on the wrong electric burner and the plastic melted completely to the metal!"

    11. "In middle school, my teacher had these corn dogs that you could buy. She left the room and my friend and I bought a corn dog and put it in the microwave. This was a weird microwave and we didn’t quite understand it. My friend put 30 minutes instead of three."

    12. "I turned on the wrong burner on my mom’s stove…"

    13. "We were in a hotel and we thought pans weren't included so we stupidly decided to use a glass bowl to cook ramen noodles instead…"

    14. "I gave my brother the task of making dinner before I fell asleep watching Scandal. I woke up three hours later and it smelled horrible. I went downstairs and he was asleep on the couch. This is why you don’t let your 11-year-old brother 'cook' dinner."

    15. "I’m not a bad cook, but this pizza on the grill was a massive fail!"
