Flowersfade Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 A couple. Once when I put some salt in a curry, only it was sea salt and incredibly strong. I spent ages trying to add things that might disguise the flavour but to no avail. Another time I was making myself some hot milk and wondered if a bit of jam would help. Everything split and I was left with a disgusting pan full of slop. Oh, yams. Yams are a culinary disaster in their own right. Here's a handy tip RE over salting a dish if it is a curry or a soup with liquid make a dough ball pop it in the dough ball will absorb the salt.

upinwath Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Cooking is, as we know, women's work so I don't do it. My worse disaster was hiring a maid that had no clue how to cook but one of my previous girlfriends was pretty lousy as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Sidney Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 I once nearly sent a pregnant woman into labour when I worked in the family cafe many moons ago... Poached egg cooked in the microwave exploded in her face. She asked for her money back as well even though she ate it all. Cheek! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadingNorth Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 You know the warning label on tins of treacle sponge, which says "DO NOT LET THE PAN BOIL DRY!" ? Well, if you want to redecorate the kitchen in a hurry, feel free to ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
