Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail.
You know it’s a truly epic fail in the kitchen, when you not only have to throw out the food, but also the cookware.
I have a recollection of chucking a roasting pan, filled with burnt-on mess, into the garbage can. I cannot remember what I was trying to make, but it was clearly an epic fail. Perhaps I was angry with the pan and it could’ve been cleaned, but I deemed it unsalvageable at the time. Poor pan.
By the way, I successfully made The Silver Palate’s Chicken Marbella last night, with some assistance from my husband. (Chicken “quartering” was required.) This was my second attempt at this classic 80s dinner party entree.

the chicken looks like it came out really good! I think I threw out a pan once too that just seemed like way too much effort to clean LOL

Thanks! It is good. We’ll be eating it all week. Some pans are not worth the effort to scrub clean. It’s a judgment call. Lol

OMG I’ve done that before. Ruined a perfectly good pan because I forgot I was re-heating soup on the stovetop, and by the time I got to it, it was unsalvageable.
