You've all probably read by now that Penny Lancaster, wife of Rod Stewart, reckons that men should stay out of the kitchen because it's "women's work". Controversial!
She's absolutely wrong of course - and to demonstrate this, we asked the listeners of the Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show to prove that kitchen disasters can happen to anyone!
Had pot of gorgeous curry and daughter’s dog decided to join me in the kitchen - I didn't see her creeping up and as I turned to plate the curry, she got between my legs. The pot of curry went up in air and all over kitchen. Presses, floor and dog. Took me forever to clean in between me and dog sliding all over the place.
Ah Hector, I'm in stitches here laughing at the kitchen disasters. But nothing could come close to those ''Little Master Chefs". Had my kitchen floor covered in honey. Disaster of all disasters!! Bhí sé Úafasach :-(
The baby pulled a jar of curry powder out of the press and it spilt all over the floor. The missus decided to get the hoover to clean it up - 6 months later, every time you do a bit of hovering the whole house smells of curry. Think a new hoover is required. John in Brittas.
Christmas Eve, made chips in the deep fat fryer and put deep fat fryer back on top of the fridge. Christmas morning before seeing what Santa brought, my daughter went to the fridge to get something. Deep fat fryer was lazily left on top of fridge and not pushed in properly – so when she opened the fridge, DOWN CAME THE FRYER ON TOP OF HER! It bounced off the floor – there was oil everywhere and then the other kids burst to see what Santa brought! Jesus it was mayhem and cold oil all over her and the kitchen - aaaand a hangover to boot!
While cooking chicken for burritos once for friends, I took the wok off the cooker & it overturned & emptied onto the floor. Since we'd nothing else to eat and no one saw it...I put it back into the wok and served it up. My friends said it was delicious. He, he they never knew.
I dropped a large pot of home-made curry sauce at midnight just before I headed to bed. I had made an extra large batch for freezing and I'd left it out to cool. It splashed the whole way across the kitchen, taking in everything on the way, ending on the opposite wall. It looked like a giant had had diarrhoea in the room! And I had to clean it up. At midnight.
Hi Hector. I dropped a 2 litre bottle of home-made apple juice. Every crevice in the kitchen was splashed with a sticky residue. John in Limerick.
I remember one day bringing in some fresh milk after milking when I slipped. Milk everywhere , if that wasn't bad enough - I had the smell of sour milk in the house for weeks!
Dropped a bottle of feckin’ hot chilli sauce - the smell of garlic would knock it a camel. David the plumber
Mop bucket that's all I will say. And yes, it was full.
