I've made some bad food in a kitchen but never like that.

It's like a horror story, "the pizza that ate through my oven and destroyed the world" type funny...

I mean at least I had a doggie that would eat my mistakes...

Or a gravy that would hide overcooked meat.

Good link

On 8-th picture, looks like food cremation sensor is tuned wrong, really, really wrong (looks like my first attempt at pancakes :-D).

6-th - new meaning for the "mushroom pizza" ;-)

I am not without sins of my own in the cooking world. When I had to learn, I made some bad mistakes.

The first recipe I tried for a low-carb gluten free cake did not work at all, and I followed it to the letter. It resembled something like a concrete brick. Same thing with homemade cake frosting - it melted too much, but it did make a nice glaze. The butter has to be soft - not liquid.

Ah, now if only someone could invent the low-carb, no gluten donut, I'd have it made. I certainly am not trying any more recipes I download...

Almost makes me want to start my own cooking thread. Jesus has eaten my cooking; he knows it's safe.

That's where MacWolf learned to make his famous meatloaf.

I made a chocolate cake a few days ago. It turned out fine, but I realized only after I made the batter in my mixer that I don't own a cake pan.

So I was forced to make it in a casserole dish. It was the right size, but the glass handles heat VERY differently than a metal cake pan. I ended up with a cake that rose only in the center, and not at all around the sides. What should have been two even layers of cake became two mismatched mountains of cake, barely held together by icing. The end result somewhat resembled a soccer ball.

Tasty though. My roommate asked for seconds, so I guess it wasn't all bad.

At least now all you guys know what to expect if you have dinner at my house :)

This link almost looks like a henious experiment where you told some elementary kids to cook something and turned them loose in a kitchen without any instruction or supervision

You know Paolo I just skip dessert altogether. Low carb glutten free desserts are hard to make.

I tried to make a low carb banana bread and it failed miserably.

Unlike reg food cooking desserts are a pain inthe ass to get it right. Measuring and "exact" bake time is key to perfection here I find
