I didn't 'cook' this as such, but...When I was still a lad, I had to make dinner for myself and my brother. Mum left some microwave chips and told me to read the packet for how to 'cook' them. I had four identical packets that each said 'place in microwave for a minute and a half and eat'. So, as I'm used to using an oven rather than a microwave, I put all four packets in the microwave together for a minute and a half without realising I had to multiply that minute and a half by the number of packets I was trying to cook. We both ate the quarter-cooked microwave chips, assuming that they tasted horrible because they were microwave chips. The result? He was up all night vomiting and I was sent home from school by the nurse the next day. I wouldn't have minded the day off school, but I really did feel bad. Lesson learned.
