MY WORST COOKING MISTAKE

Reddit asked, “What’s the worst mistake you made while cooking?” Some of the responses:
– “My wife asked me to strain the soup broth. I put a colander in the sink and proceeded to pour the broth and bones though it, no bowl underneath.”
– “Opened a can of diced tomatoes and emptied them into the trash, left myself standing with the empty can thinking, what did I just do?”
– “I was naked cooking bacon, grease popped and burnt my junk.”
– “Just because corn on the cob, broccoli and hot dogs are all things that you can boil does not mean you should boil them all together.”
– “Left burner on after cooking. Didn’t know till the next morning. In 15 yrs it’s happened 3 times.”
– “Turned the wrong burner on and melted/set fire to a portable phone. Whole kitchen was covered in black crud.”
– “Put a lasagna casserole in the oven to bake for 45 minutes. Feeling tired, I decided to sleep for those 45 minutes. Six hours later…”
– “Accidentally grabbed powdered sugar instead of flour and proudly made the sweetest fried chicken known to mankind.”
