Has this ever happened to you while cooking?

Yes,The same ting happened to me.Once i use kettle to boil up some water in the kitchen,at that time i should do another thing too,so i forgot my water was on the fire,several minutes passed when i remember that,all the water in the kettle had gone,and the kettle nearly melted. I can't imagine if i did't remember the boiling kettle what would happen.It's so terrible.

I can't say that has ever happened to me. When I'm fixing food, I try to be observant & careful so I avoid making mistakes.

I've had things like this happen to me, too - I've added sugar instead of salt, or switched amounts of ingredients (recipe calls for 2 cups of flour, one cup of sugar, I've put in 2 cups of sugar and one cup of flour, that kind of thing). Usually it happens because I'm rushing.

hi!!! never happen to me. remember when you are cooking presence of mind is very important. make sure you are concentrating in cooking. god bless ;)

So far this kind of things never happened in my life. But one of my roommate had once mistook the laundry detergent powder with salt. I used to put the large package of laundry detergent powder(Usually 2Kg package which is more profitable),but it isn't convenience to use. To solve this problem, I put some of the detergent powder into a small bottle which just located beside the bottle of salt. Once the detergent powder is finish, I throw the empty bottle. And leave only the salt bottle in the shelve. There the story happened, when my friend did the laundry he just grasp the bottle and shake out the powder without having a look.....

hehe lol that's also happen to me but rarely i sometimes forgot to put salt in the food i cook but now when i'm cooking i concentrate and try to recall if all the ingredients i put was already complete.

hi night, If you are cooking presence of mind is important Cause what if you put a wrong ingredients and lead to not so good So far there is not incident like this happen to me while cooking happy mylotting

I have been a big zero in cooking.Even preparing a cup of tea is too difficult a task for me.Not that I have never tried to learn the skill.In fact,I tried many times to learn it from my sisters.But I was unable to keep what they taught me.They began teaching me how to prepare tea.For the first time I learned it,but forgot everything by evening.I don't think I am made for cooking.

Oh my! Yes, I agree with you that the most possible reason why these happened to you is because you are not fully concentrating in what you do. That is a bit dangerous, especially if you have to light a stove or heat up the oven because it can cause accidents if not properly attended to. I have a few mishaps like these, like one time I'm preparing coffee and instead of sugar I put iodized salt instead. Well, the reason being is that I am in a hurry and I didn't spare a glance on the jar before I put it in my coffee. That's about the funniest tasting coffee I ever had lol!

hey night, hahaha same happens with me once i was making tea i added salt in hurry rather than sugar :D, besides once i added custard instead of corn flour in fish :D.. I normally do alot of things and the reason is same because I am not concentrating on single thing I try to do multiple task or working in hurry.
