Well, what was it? I can't think of any specific instance for myself. I just know that I'm generally a terrible judge of how long to leave something on the stove. I usually get my kitchen nice and smokey. Windows nearby are a very good thing. 😀

I once caused a fire in the oven by leaving something in there too long. I just forgot about it, actually. A real stinking mess that took a long, long time to clean up. 🙁 🙁

Me and my friend Michael came back from the pub one night, and we were bloody hungry. I hunted through the pantry and produced flour. Michael rooted in the fridge and discovered hummus and pesto. I rummaged through the bookshelves and found a recipe for pizza dough in one of my underused cookbooks.
Due to the amount of substances we had been abusing that fine Scottish evening, that was the last thing I recall. I woke up the next morning and stumbled into the kitchen, which sort of looked like it had exploded. Everything was covered in flour, even the lampshade. There was raw dough mixture glued to most of the surfaces, and every single one of my pots and pans were covered in something or other.
Michael then stumbled into the kitchen in his Homer Simpson boxer shorts(scaring the shit out of me, I had forgotten he was there), carrying a plate with what looked like a plaster cast smeared with pesto and hummus. That's when we pieced together the events of the night.
We never did solve the mystery of how my colander got clogged with dough.

I notice that it is taking awhile for people to confess.
I once heated up some left over spaghetti in a pan. Fell asleep but was wakened by the smoke. Seemed to take forever to clean that pan.

I placed a meat pie, box and all, in the oven.
When I was seventeen, my Dad caught me drying freshly picked marijuana leaves in the oven. That was a mess of a different sort.
I can't think of any huge mess I made in the kitchen. I do remember one time having difficulty opening a cannister of frozen orange juice. I had put it in the sink and let hot water run over it to thaw it out some. Then I was holding the cannister in both hands, trying to pry the metal top off of the cylindrical cardboard container with both thumbs. It was refusing to budge.
Suddenly, it just popped right off, but I was squeezing so hard, the thawed orange concentrate gushed out in an instant. I was left standing there with my entire face covered in orange goop. Truly a Shemp moment. 😉

This is why I have never understood the concept behind frozen orange juice. It's not gonna go bad or anything.
This just happened tonight.I set the oven on broil,toss in a ribeye and figure i have time to take a very quick shower.Wrongo,bugster. I get out of the shower to find my apartment filled with smoke,then the smoke alarm does its thing.
I shut off the oven,turn the vent fan on full blast and open the front door.Then i turn on a small fan that sits atop the microwave.Just to round out the evening the apartment manager is walking on the balcony across the courtyard.He sees the smoke pouring out of my door and gives me a look but does not say anything.I'm suprised the fire department has not shown up at my door.It goes without saying my ribeye was a bit overdone.😱

A story that I heard.
A guy told this story that he was to make pickled eggs.
So he puts the eggs in boiling water, and then takes a quick shower.
Upon returning from his shower, he cracks an egg and discovers that it has not boiled hard enough.
He looks over at the microwave.
Now thinking that the microwave will finish the eggs off faster, he places the eggs inside and sets the timer for five minutes.
He said that it sounded like a machine gun.
Eggs blown to bits all over the inside of his microwave.

when I dropped a pot of spaghetti sauce and it ended up everywhere including the ceiling... I had to drink a lot of vino to get through that one!!!
Spaghetti sauce just blew up on me too. Not fun to clean up.
