Ever made a mistake while cooking?

My mistakes have usually been with baking...cakes, cookies and breads. They either don't rise properly or break apart or get a little overcooked.

Oh, yes, I myself have had a few mishaps. Sometimes I forget to use a potholder and burn myself. There was also that time that I had a steak in the broiler at home, and that started a fire. I think that I needed to use baking soda to put that one out. Boy, did I panick when that happened! But luckily, everything turned out okay. I wasn't able to eat that steak though. Just be careful and good luck.

when i was trying to prepare a dish named pav bhaji,i first of all made the mixer to be thrown out in the future and wasted the gas and at last came out of kitchen asking my mom to clean all those..

My biggest mistake while cooking was letting water boil over into the burner on my electic stove. I think it was because it was old, but it blew up the burner and my pan. The whole thing was a mess, and it really scared me. I also put cinnamon in my chili once instead of chili powder. I just grabbed the spice bottle and did not look at the name on the bottle. I didn't realize it until I lifted the lid off the pot to stir it, and found the distinctive smell of cinnamon instead of chili!
