My fellow mylotters. I want to know, what do you hate most while you're in the kitchen? while you're cooking or preparing the ingredients? As for me, I really hate it when I got cut by a knife. Even a small cut really hurts. I do also hate it when somebody is watching over me while I'm doing my kitchen or cooking routine. I feel like I can't concentrate while somebody's watching me. But what I hate the most is when the food is about to get done, the LPG runs out. How about you my friends? Want to share your kitchen/cooking experiences with me? Everyone's welcome. Have a nice day to all. HUGZ!

well i've got quite a few pet peeves inside the kitchen. the first will definitely be running out of a crucial ingredient and discovering it at the very last minute. the soup is boiling and the oil is heated up. i can't begin to imagine where i can get the stuff. another one would be not being able to find what i want. i'd starting cooking thinking the thing is where i last left it. but when it comes to the moment when i want to add it, i couldn't find it! this riles me too. ;p

oh yes that's really irritating. sugar container full of ants! that has got to be the worst thing that can happen! i can't imagine the frustration i'll be in. and sugar is not something you can soak in water hoping that the ants will float. once there are ants in the sugar, that's it. it's so final. :[

What i hate when cooking? hmm.. think about this, you want to make a very delicious cake and you already prepare all of the ingredients, when you start to mix all of the ingredients and you want to put some sugar in it, you realize that your sugar is fill with ants.. soooo many ants are crawling among the sugars yeeehaw :p

First of all congrats Maida, you hit the top discussion. You know I am not used to stay at the kitchen its because I dont know how to cook. But i will try to cook some when I get home, perhaps spaghetti? hehehe, im not really sure but I have to, at least my kids could taste food that is being prepared by me.

I really don't like when people are watching me cook. It bothers me. I also don't like when I am in a groove and someone comes into the kitchen and tries to take over--that really annoys me. It's my kitchen and everybody needs to stay out..lol

You're right. At least if you are all by yourself in the kitchen, you can concentrate on what you're doing. Thanks for sharing.

There is nothing that I hate happening when I am in the kitchen cooking or cleaning. I don't care if someone comes in the kitchen and does something around me when I am cooking. I just move if I am in their way, no big deal. Of course I don't like it when I cut myself but things happen, they are called accidents. Sorry if I sound abrupt, I don't mean to. What does the LPG running out mean? I am not sure what you are talking about. Please explain as it will bug me to not know. I don't like it when my meat is cooked and my potatoes aren't done yet because then I end up overcooking my meat even though I am only trying to keep it warm. My daughter and I do most of our cooking together so we are both usually in the kitchen at the same time so I am used to someone looking over me, so to speak.

Oh, my stove and oven is electrical so I don't have that problem. Thanks for answering my question as most times when I ask a question in one of my responses, I don't get an answer back. That is how I know that quite a few people don't read their responses or they should and probably would comment back since we do get paid more for our discussions we start if it is actually a discussion with people chatting back and forth. So thanks my friend.

Hi chrislotz. LPG means, Liquified Petroleum Gas. The one we use when we are cooking in oven or stove.

Well, you've just said it, when LPG runs out in the middle of cooking then that would be so disturbing and irritating. Imagine you still have to wait till the delivery boy comes. I also hate it when I found out that some ingredients in my recipe are already out of my stocks. Grrr! I have nothing to blame but myself for not checking out!
@dhangski (3194)

LOL friend. That's why I check from time to time my stocks here. I don't want to run in the store just to buy what's lacking. The nearest store here is 15 mins. walk away from our place and the market is 20 mins. ride. Whew. Thanks for sharing.

15 minutes walk, that's a lot of exercising! ha!ha!ha! You have good reasons to check every now and then. And perhaps I have to learn from you even if I need not walk that far because you know it's kinda waste of time running to the nearest store.

I don't like it too when people are in the kitchen when you're doing cooking, washing, etc. They always tend to tell you what to do when they see that you're not doing it their way.

I really hate it when some people tell you what to do even thought they don't know a single thing about cooking. I also hate it when you think you have all the ingredients but apparently one is still missing and its' too late for you to go out buy and add it to your recipe.

I agree with you. It is really annoying if you thought you are ready to cook then something is missing. Thanks for sharing.

I definately agree with the whole something is missing thing. You just have to give up or have an awesome friend who will go buy you half a dozen eggs in the middle of the night while you make sure your bread doesn't fall!

i hate washing meats. I'm a meat lover but I prefer them cooked. I've tried washing them so many times of course and I don't like the smell and the blood of raw meats. What I don't like the most is the fish meat. Yikes.. The smell won't go away in one wash. as for when I'm cooking, which I rarely do, i guess when there's nobody guiding me hehehe opposite to yours. when i cook, i have to ask someone in every step if i'm doing the right thing because I'm really bad in cooking and i don't want to mess it all up specially if I'm cooking for a meal.

I don't like cleaning the fish too. I don't like the smell of it. It's not that I don't actually eat fish, I just really can't take the smell. It's as if the smell will be in your hands forever. LOL.

Hi dhangski, what hate me most in the kitchen? are the flies specially it's summer time here and when we open our door, they are there and I hate them passing me and all my food preparations, I will not stop until I will kill them. My hubby loves to open our door since it nicer to have fresh air plus we can save rather than turning on our ac but that is always the consequence!

Hi there my friend. I hate that too. Specially here in our place, there's a poultry nearby and when they spray insecticides on the poultry, expect that the flies will be here. Thanks for sharing. HUGZ!

I hate the little cuts, they take forever to heal, I hate when things, like glass break and you have to clean up, I hate people doing things all over you, like my landlord does, I hate, believe it or not, when the LPG doesn't work, that is, can't get through to start the fire - that happened to me - the connection was bad on a new tank. All those things, and, oh, forgetting to check something on the fire, well, that could mean a ruined dish !

I hate cookin in a small kitchen, i feel like theres is no room to do anything,its hard to have all the stuff out that i need cause there isnt any counter space or enough room on the stove for everything i need to cook. I also dont like getting cut by my knife either.
