Miscellaneous: Never say easy

Never say easy

Today, I decided to make pancakes from scratch. I poured the batter in my Perfect Pancake pan. Then I told my brother who was watching, "This is so easy. Just watch." I burned 15 pancakes, including the one I dropped on the burner, which lit on fire, causing the alarm to go off. FML

Today, my mom had me and my little brother make pancakes for breakfast. I had to let the dog out of the house to go do his business, so I had my little brother wait there and told him not to touch anything. I came back 5 minutes later, and there were cracked eggs in the almost-done batter. FML

Today, I was looking forward to my only day to sleep-in this month while I'm balancing school and work. I was rudely awakened at 6 am by my sister and her friend trying to make pancakes, burning them, and setting off the fire alarm in my house for half an hour. FML

Today, as I was making biscuits my mom joked, "Don't burn the house down." I told her "Don't worry, I know how to make biscuits." The oven caught fire. FML

Today, I decided to make a toaster scramble. I thought it was bad enough when the pastry fell through the grate in the toaster over. Then it burst into flames. After 5 minutes of fanning the smoke away from the smoke detector, it still went off. Now my entire dorm building is outside in a snowstorm. FML

Breakfast time!

Today, I decided to make an almighty breakfast of fried eggs and bacon. I couldn't find anything to flip the eggs with so I used a red spatula that my sister handed me. As I was finishing a delicious fry up, my mom came downstairs and asked me why the cat litter scoop was resting in the frying pan. FML

Today, I tried to make breakfast. I had everything cooking on the stove when I reached to turn on the faucet, only to find out that the head of the faucet was up the sleeve of my robe. After drying off, I went to serve my boyfriend his plate, but when I returned, the stove had caught fire. FML

Today, I was sleeping in my apartment when I woke up to the smell of smoke. Alarmed, I ran out to the kitchen to find my roommates trying to put out a fire on the stove. As soon as they saw me, they ran for it, informing me that it was my problem now. They used my good frying pan. FML

Today, I had pancakes for breakfast, and without realizing it, I got syrup in my hair. After breakfast, I went to straighten my hair, only to burn the syrup and have it get stuck in my hair. There was no time to shower and it smelled. FML

Know what you're doing before you make an ass of yourself in front of other people... And making pancakes isn't that difficult anyway, how could you burn them?? (this is coming from a novice cook)

pancakes: bisquick batter eggs milk mix in bowl pour into skillet or put on a griddle let cook until the bottom is a solid mass flip over and cook other side until a solid mass eat Not that hard. Sorry but you sound like my aunt who could burn water. I know that is impossible but she can't cook for a damn.

Bisquick batter pancakes are nasty. Either get a mix designed for specially for pancakes, or make it from scratch. It is not hard to do at all.

Umm did anyone think that maybe it was the Perfect Pancake Pan that sucked and not the person? I mean it is possible this person burnt the pancakes...

Everyones saying YDI, but I clicked FML for you. I had a similar thing happen to me once: "Today, I was hungry and decided to eat some pancakes. Unfortunately, I'm not the best of cooks and I had to wake my sister up and ask her to make me a pancake. She got mad at me, and refused to make me a pancake. Frustrated, I screamed at her , "FINE! I DONT NEED YOU TO MAKE ME A PANCAKE!" I then walked into the kitchen, determined to "show her." Twenty minutes later, I was left with 5 burnt pancakes & 3 pancakes that were wayy underdone. In the end; i had to go back to my sister & beg her to make me pancake. The worst part? I'm sixteen, she's nine. FML" so yes, i've had a similar experience & I'm sorry you had to get embarassed.

I would've clicked YDI. Nobody wants to be woken up and asked to cook, that's just rude.

Wow... people really are as lame as the actors from the Perfect Pancake commercial. :) If your butter is smoking, your pan is too hot. Turn it way down. Invest in an infrared thermometer and you'll never burn food again.

I don't know what a "perfect pancake" pan is, but your heat's too high. Use cast iron and a medium/high heat. When the bubbles pop around the edges and leave a hole, it's time to flip 'em.
