Yesterday I set my oven to start cooking a roast chicken about 20 minutes before I got home
so I was a bit surprised when I got home to find the smoke alarm going off and a completely dessicated chicken in the oven.

It turns out I had misunderstood how the oven timer works and rather than setting it to come on in 9 hours, I had set it to come on for 9 hours.

That's what I thought.
After I swore a lot and ran to the shops to buy a second chicken.

My mate's daughter, a 2nd year uni student,
decided to try cooking for the first time. She decided to boil an egg, got the largest pan she could filled it with water, and boiled it dry. She misread "boil for 4-5 minutes", as "boil for 45 minutes". She also tried cooking a frozen pizza in a wok. Kids today eh? *Shakes head*

I mistakenly grilled a pork joint for two hours when we first got our oven
