For instance just now I was hungry and wasn't sure what I wanted but I found a box of pancake mix and went "OoOoOo that sounds great! and not a lot of work!" mixed it up and threw away 5 that turned out like crap, the 6th one looked okay but tasted horrid. Then I looked at the box and it said "Best before: July 21st 2017". - oh well I will just have a PB&J sandwitch, with the bacon I cooked slapped in between. Tell us your "oops, I hosed up" stories!

pandy fackler posted:The old thread is like 10 years old and hasn't been posted in for months imo this forum needs some new blood around here because it's my favorite and I'm sad that it's so slow. Cool beans! I don't post in this subforum much, but I do read it or ask the random question. And for content. Like a week ago I thought it would be a "bright" idea to put a little balsamic vinegar into the marinara sauce I was making - well that little dash that I wanted to do turned out to be like 3 table spoons. I just added a bunch of parmesan and sugar to kind of hide it. It wound up being ---- edible.

I am going to tell my husbands gently caress up. He tried to make me a heart shaped pizza (for valentines day), and he used WAY too much garlic. I ate like 2 bites and decided I was done. Garlic is nice in a pizza sauce but if you use a whole bulb - it is not very nice! But the fact he went through the effort was nice - and honestly the pizza crust was nice and made well - but again, way too much garlic in the sauce!

Here is an oops by my spouse. He came home with Sesame Cold Noodles said he had some after putting hot sauce in them, thinking I wanted that crap - If you want f'n spicy use hot chili oil not f'n tobasco suace - the vinegar and other spices in it changes the whole flavor profile. I don't want to eat that crap and don't act like you were being nice to me - in 20 years when have you ever seen me use hot sauce!? The answer is never. I mean I guess hot sauce can go good on eggs, but I don't eat eggs, sure I will use them to bake a cake or make pasta or whatever else requires them but that is about it. nunsexmonkrock fucked around with this message at 03:37 on May 10, 2023 |

Don't mean to double post but I put some rice in my rice cooker last night while I was a bit tipsy and trying to figure out why it would not work. Well after a bit of trying I realized I did not put any water in there!

Steve Yun posted:How does it know that there’s no water? They way the rice cooker works is the magnet in it stops when the temp gets over boiling point, when it gets over that the magnet stops working and releases. Eeyo posted:My old roommate from college was making some food (she rarely cooked), and came in with 3 heads of garlic. I said “wow that’s a lot of garlic!” and she said “yeah the recipe wanted 5 cloves but they were kind of expensive so I bought 3”. Thankfully I told her the difference between cloves and heads of garlic. Yeah a clove and a bulbs are two different things lol.

Uh oh! another oops my husband did. - I have told him many times if he wants to reheat a pizza in the toaster oven he needs to preheat it for at least 10 minutes - but nope he ignores my instructions and he slapped a pizza slice inside of it and turned it on. - Well guess what the pizza burst into flames and I had to shout and scream to make him get away so I could pour salt onto it. Than he got angry at me like I did something wrong because now he didn't have any slices left and wanted one of mine. I said shouted "gently caress NO -you ruined yours and are not taking mine!"

honda whisperer posted:I don't remember how old I was but I was a kid and making a bowl of cereal. I saw buttermilk in the fridge and thought "milks good, butters good, oh man that must be the best milk ever". It was not. Oh yeah I once tried to use half & half because we were out of milk and it was before the store opened - it was not good. I dumped out the whole bowl of honey nut cheerios and waited an hour to go get whole milk. lol. E: My husband had some kind of plant milk (most likely soy or oat or almond) and I just ignored it because I don't like it. My husband was a vegan before he met me - but with what I eat most everything has cheese in it - so I broke his veganism and now he is a vegetarian and eats cheese and eggs. But he still hates the taste of milk. been married to him for over 20 years, so if I want too cook meat I will wait until he is not home to cook bacon or whatever. nunsexmonkrock fucked around with this message at 11:13 on Jun 11, 2023 |

ActingPower posted:Goddammit, this is like the FIFTH time I've put too much pepper in a dish. I accidentally bought some of that "restaurant-grade" cracked pepper instead of the fine ground I usually use, and every time, I think, "Ah, it's okay, I just have to use less of it!" And then I never do! I made a baked potato for my husband - he took one bite of it and stopped - I put too much Pride of Szeged Authentic Hungarian Hot Paprika on it - I forget he does not like things as "spicy" as I do. Basically a russet potato, covered in olive oil (not extra virgin) and when it was done I put a couple slices of butter on it after cutting it open, salt some cracked black pepper that I grinded, I skipped the MSG because he is stupid and believes in Chinese restraunt syndrome even though it is fake. And then a ton of hot paprika. Oh funny I was at a restraunt called Yummy Yummy in Chicago when I lived there and the people next to us asked them for a salt shaker. WTF Chinese food is already full of salt from soy sauce and just about every other kind of sauce.

Now everything I cook with it ranges from, "God, that's peppery" to literally inedible.

I almost made a food oops. I was kinda buzzed and decided I wanted to make some potato chips. Took out the death machine (mandolin) and decided "gently caress this" I am not cutting off my fingers for potato chips.

Steve Yun posted:I originally had two Microplanr gloves but then one day my friends came over with a bunch of oranges from their tree to make marmalade and one of them chopped them up into slices wearing one of my gloves and by the end the fingertips were gone and there were Kevlar threads in the orange slices I ordereed this one because of your reccommendation https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B7ZCD8NG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I don't really keep oranges bu there is always both a lemon and a lime in a ziplock in my freezer haha! Edit - uh oh! I made some mozzarella - it turned out to be too wet and just made the pizza crust I made that was resting in the fridge soggy. I think from now I am sticking with the mozarella in the bag and use a 50/50 mix of low moisture part-skim and low moisture whole milk mozzarella, maybe some chedder and provalone too. nunsexmonkrock fucked around with this message at 16:47 on Jul 15, 2023 |

Uh oh! I made potato chips for the first time -I made them sweet Paprika, black pepper and garlick flavored with some salt and msg. But the recipe that I viewed called for 4 potatoes. - Well since it's my first time making them I reduced everything down to one potato but apparently I did not reduce the salt enough. The chips actually came out tasty if a bit salty, now I know - "REDUCE THE SALT" lol. All in all a good experiment and I learned things So I will take that as a win for next time I make chips!

Killingyouguy! posted:Recently I thought, well, i like to add some vanilla protein powder to an iced coffee, surely i can add it to a hot coffee too. it's like coffee mate I once added some lemon juice into tea with milk in it - thinking "This will be amazing because it will be both like a regular tea and and iced tea!" - well it was not amazing. Now I just drink my tea with either milk or lemon in it depending on my mood - never the both. But that was many years ago that I learnedd that lesson.

This is not exactly a food oops, more of me improvising. I squeezed a bunch of lemons to make lemonade and then I realized "Oh poo poo! I don't have any sugar!" but then I realized I do have sucralose (basically splenda but without the fillers which the first ingredient in splenda is dextrose - meaning sugar) it only took 1/16 of a tsp to sweeten it up.
