My Worst Cooking Disaster

Good evening! My article is late for today because I did something this afternoon that takes time. Do you like cooking? I love cooking but I think cooking does not love me haha! I tried to learn cooking but I still have a long way to learn about this skill.

Thank you, sponsors! Thank you so much for the endless support!

In this article, I will be sharing my WORST COOKING DISASTER! I was really upset when these things happens because it is food. I do not like wasting food. It is very frustrating but we can learn a thing or two in these happenings.

So let me tell you some stories...

1) Steak as hard as a stone

So, yeah, we are watching Gordon Ramsay's show Hell's Kitchen. We cannot help but drool to every dish. Of course, as a feelingera (pretentious) we want to remake the steak from the show. We do not aim to cook like on the show because first of, we are not cooks, we are just watchers of the show haha! So what we did is we looked up recipes from the internet of steaks. So, in the next day, we bought ingredients.

I am not really into cooking but I really like to eat steak. I have so many mistakes in this journey. First is the cut of the meat. The part that I got is not tender. I tried to boil it for 2 hours but still not tender. I did not use pressure cooker to. So the ending of it is cooking it like a rubber haha! I will never forget the day I made a rubber steak. It was totally a disaster. I just wished that I bought some ready made steaks instead of making one.

2) Unborn chicken

Okay, this incident happen to me when I was really young. I still do not have the concept of eggs with unborn chicken. So, I was cooking a simple dish, a fried egg. I get the egg from the fridge. It was nice and cold. After waiting for the oil to be hot, it is time to crack the egg. As I crack the egg, I notice that there is a gray color. YIIIKEES! IT'S A BABY CHICKEN. It is not that big but you can notice that it is a baby chicken. It is really traumatizing on my part. I was still a kid as I said and I do not expect that thing to be in the egg. By the way, the egg was a native one.

3) Salty adobo

Proportions, proportions, and proportions. It is important to have an estimation instinct in cooking. Adobo is an easy dish because you just have to mix the ingredients but there should be proportions in the dish. There was a time that I cooked adobo and I put a lot of soy sauce and salt. Good thing that it is easy to correct the saltiness. I just mixed water and sugar and put it on the dish. Thank God this dish was saved.

4) Uncooked rice

Asians cannot live without rice! Rice is life! In the province, we use the traditional way of cooking rice in a pot. We do not use the rice cooker. The rice that I cooked is super dry. I miscalculated the water to rice. The rice is not that cooked yet. It is like they are screaming for water haha!

Final Thoughts

Ahh, this memories just make me laugh. I feel like a chef when I am cooking but in reality, a disaster haha! I really wish that I have a cooking skill. In my self assessment, I just know how to fry haha! That is my specialty.

Do you have a cooking disaster too?

Thank you for reading. I will see you at the next one.
