Bang! Bang! Bang! Oh My G. Who's shooting at us?

Lol yep my Daughter did the same thing with 3 Eggs, we had to rush one of our Cats to the vet 4 years ago and she came to only forgetting that she had left the Eggs on lol needless to say the Fire alarm was going and well not a nice sight lol

I can imagine the shock in your sister's face when she heard the explosion in the kitchen. I will never again leave anything cooking on the stove unattended ever since I had a bad experienced that nearly burned my kitchen. I put a kettle to boil water on the gas stove and later went to hang my laundry. I totally forgot about it and left it to boil to ashes. The guardian angel must have slowed down the fire as the whole stove has turned blacked but was surprise the plastic hose to the gas tank was already on fire and it only took seconds before the tank filled with gas explodes once the fire reaches it. I was at the nick of time to unplug the hose and put off the fire on the burning gas stove. Otherwise it could have caused a lot of damage to the whole kitchen.

noooo, I'm such a bad cook that I would be more likely to take something out too early than over doing it and my sister is a better cook than I am, even when she was 10 and I was 14...

once upon a time .. i had my first microwave .. but i did not have the manual as it was a 2nd hand microwave ... i put an egg inside, turned the oven on for 1 minutes ... and left the kitchen yes there wa this "BANG" i was so scared but moved slowly to the kitchen .. the microwave was still on - i switched off the main electric supply and .. had to spend my time cleaning the whole inner part of the microwave never ... never ... eggs in microwave for me cheers

Your sister doesn't know when to pull a boiled egg? Is she really that brain damaged?

You should let her out of kitchen.It maybe hurts her and the worst.No,mom won't allow me to approach the kitchen,let alone enter inside,evenif she need help.she aways said:"what you should do is out of everything about the kitchen".

I've never had anything like this happen but I'll never forget the story my uncle told. May God rest his soul, but this was funny. It was when the miorowave ovens were just out and my uncle was going to do the good thing and buy auntie one which he did. He was so proud of this microweave oven. He had no teeth and no one could tell a story like he could. He bought a good one and paid plenty for it. He loved boiled eggs like no one I have ever seen. He was told the microwaves cook fast, so he thought that was pretty good. He placed a dozen eggs in the microwave and turned it to twenty minutes. He discribed the popping and banging sounds till I was laughing so hard I had tears running down my face. The eggs all exploded and he said he cleaned for a couple hours while everyone else laughed. Too funny!!!

Hi Hatley, You could ask her to do the gardening then the accident could be avoided. In kitchen like these kinds of accidents are common, if our attention distracted then something will happen definitely. Mostly I am wasting my milk. If I stand near to the milk then it will take long time to boil and if turned to do something it will definitely fell down. If I ask my niece to take care of any food which I am preparing, it will get spoil that is sure, better I will give the responsibility to her ask her to prepare it herself then there won’t be any problem.

I remember when I was about 4 or so, my mother was making apple sauce in the pressure cooker. I'm not sure what happened, but the cooker blew its pressure gauge and began geysering apple sauce up to the ceiling - a boiling hot and sweet mass of sticky gooeyness. Mom hollered at me to get out of the room and go to my bedroom while she tried to bring it under control without getting burned. I've been afraid of pressure cookers ever since!!

This reminds me of a story my grandmother told us years ago. She did the exact same thing - forgot about the boiling eggs and they wound up on the kitchen ceiling. Too funny!

how young was sister back then when you asked her to watch over what you were cooking. anyways, i didn't think it can make such a big sound and explosion. it is such a scary sound .

Hey Hatley! I have done that myself! I have been boiling eggs and totally forgotten about them many times and have let them boil out! And not only do they burst, burn the pot and explode, but the sure do smell horrid! I have no one to blame, but myself! I just sometimes forget that I put them on the stove and leave the kitchen to do something else and then don't remember them until it is way too late! And now that you reminded me I actually need to go boil some eggs right now! I should be able to do it ok since I am in my kitchen/office mylotting so they should be safe as long as I stay in here and stay on mylot until they are done! Wish me luck!

Hi Hatley, the only exploding food I can recall in the kitchen is popcorn. I do remember leaving the house though and driving straight back after five minutes as I couldn't remember if I'd left a couple of eggs boiling on top of the cooker or not, and I had, so a good job I drove back home again.

Hi Hatley. It reminds me of my exploding biscuit incident. I wrote about during the summer time. The Pillsbury biscuits sitting in one of the grocery sacks on the counter had gotten to hot in the car. I heard what sounded like gunshot and turned to see the can hit the ceiling and biscuits flying everywhere. The can dropped down into a grocery sack next to the one it had been in. I picked up biscuits, but simply couldn't find that last one. (The tin end of the role of biscuits had flown off from them expanding.) A friend helped me look, and we found the last biscuit lying on top of one of the kitchen cupboards! LOL. I sealed up the sack with the other two tins of biscuits, and gently put it in the fridge lol. Karen

Wow!! That's interesting. I would have never of thought something like this myself, and have never heard of something like this happening as well. I am sure this was not Fun to clean up as well, and the smell must save been horrible for sure. Thanks for sharing this with us as something New to learn about.

I have forgotten eggs and seen the same thing happen. I have burned things very badly. We all have kitchen accidents from time to time.

OMG Hatley! That would scare the day lights out of me too!! I think I'd have hit the floor so fast that I'd be a blur! lol Oh the mistakes we make in our lives. And yes, I made a big mistake in the kitchen one time. Having been through 5 fires in my lifetime, this was an almost 6th. I had put some cooking oil on the stove and something distracted me and I forgot about the cooking oil till a billowing of smoke came into the living room, I got up from the floor and flew into the kitchen and realized what I had done! The pan was on fire that it was touching the vent. Not thinking clearly about getting a top to smoother the flames, I freaked out and grabbed the pan and tried to throw it out back but couldn't get the sliding glass door opened so I flew into the living room with the pan and threw it out the front door. Some of the grease had hit the back of my sectional couch and marked it with a tear drop pattern but didn't catch fire, THANK GOD!! But I haven't done it since nor do I intend to either!! That scared me coo coo!!

Exploding eggs, yuck... Worst thing that every happened to me was burnt cookies...

Your poor sister must have been scared when they exploded, and you as well. Sure glad that neither of you was hurt! I had no idea that they'd make such a sound like that, but I sure believe you that they did. The worse silly accident I had in the kitcheck was exploding potatoes in the microwave when I forgot to pierce the skins. What a mess all over the inside of the microwave!

What a fright you had,it must be very hard to deal with someone who does not understand.I have ruined the odd saucepan by boiling somethings dry,burnt potatoes smell something cronic or cabbage that is really bad.We did have a bit of disaster in the kitchen a few weeks ago but it was funny.I was making biscuits with my two grandchildren the little girl was not beating the egg hard enough,so with out thinking I said "don't be frightened of it beat it hard" we were then showered with flour as my grandson had the flour"I am not frightened of the flour nanny look" We fell around laughing our heads off and he demonstrated with a big smile on his face as a white mist filled the kitchen.Those biscuits were the best ones we had ever made.
