What’s a cooking fail of yours? (1 Viewer)

Adding vanilla Greek yogurt to lasagna In my (poor) defense I thought it was plain. Still not great, but better than vanilla? A bit?

I also whipped heavy cream so hard it was almost butter. I wanted whipped cream. It was not whipped cream. Or rather it probably was, but way too whipped

Did you bake it with the vanilla yogurt?
Also dumb question, did it not have a sweet smell when you opened it? I've only tried strawberry yogurt once and it smelled like strawberries so I assume flavored yogurt smell like the flavor that's added in


And same with the whip cream. Still do that sometimes.

There was one time I was making sambar, it's a lentil soup. And there's this special spice mix I have just for all my desi lentil soups. I didn't think anything would be attracted to it. Typically bugs avoid my spice cabinets and the spice mix was in a glass jar.
I went about making the sambar, finished it, went to my classes and came back home. My roommate at the time had some sambar as well. I was making my dinner plate and I looked closely and saw these "seeds" that were all different sizes with ridges floating in the sambar. >.>
Felt suspicious so I checked the jar and there were tiny little itty bitty maggots? worms? in the spice mix.

I hadnt had sambar for years until 2022. the trauma was real.
Now I leave some bay leaves out of the jar, tucked in the corners everywhere and replace them every so often.

Heavily overestimating what 8in is when making brownies which led me to burning the mix to the pan

And then you had a mixer shutdown?

Haven't had many cooking fails nowadays, but when I was a kid I did try to cook fish in the microwave
There was so much smoke...

adding too much salt to a pancake mix. I just buy ready made pancakes now. lol

 

[Yerichu]

Adding lots of salt or even messing up a mixture of a spice
Once made miso soup but almost all the water dried up

 

[Soogi]

not my story, but my mom's aunt once made borscht at our house. instead of adding tomato paste she accidentally added in sambal but we ended up really liking it so now adding sambal to borscht is a staple in our house

I probably did bake it yeah. I don’t remember details because this was so long ago, I was like 12? As for the smell apparently it wasn’t strong enough to tip me off that somethings wrong

No, it just started looking clumpy

I’ve never had sambal but from the discription I can see why that could be good in borscht

it adds a spicy and tangy twist which blends in surprisingly well

once when i was making fried rice i accidentally cooked the rice for too long and it was all mushy

 

[Selfmate]

putting metal in the microwave
I'm sure we've all done that at least once right?
