Sometimes I have brilliant ideas. This wasn't one of those times. It wasn't really even a case of a dumb idea masked as brilliance. Pure laziness. I didn't want to dig through the stack to pull out a baking sheet. So I convinced myself (that part was actually quite easy; I'm very impressionable) the bread would bake just fine on the wire cooling rack. Better even than a baking sheet.It baked to the wire rack. Right down and around those little wires like a tree growing with a rope tied around it. I actually inverted the rack (and attached loaf of bread) for the photo. If I had a spare hand I would have shown the nifty way you can hold the wire rack in the air with the loaf of bread securely attached below it.
Normally my kitchen faux pas are a tightly held secret. But in the interest of making it easier for cooks everywhere to come out of the pantry and admit the souffle that fell, the popovers that didn't pop and the doughnuts that had to be passed off as bagels, I am going public with this one.
Today's photo offering has been upgraded from "Baked Goods" to "Oops!" Theme #211.
Most of my baking failures don't look quite as um....edible as that. Perfect image for the Oops theme!
ReplyDeleteI'll get one of my Bushie friends to send you a recipe for damper you cook that in a pot - What could Go Wrong???
ReplyDeleteA lot of my mistakes can be explained away as genius, if I have enough time to think of one.
Love it!! Reminds me of something I might do!!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of a piece of battered chicken put into the deep fryer basket. I just could NOT get that chicken piece out of the basket! Where was my camera????
ReplyDeleteThat's an oops? That's probably what I would do all the time (unfortunately I am not good at cooking or baking)! For an "oops" it sure is making me hungry!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me exactly why I do not cook.
ReplyDeleteLOL - this reminds me of the time I heated Christmas cookies IN their Tupperware container in the oven. I had to call the Tupperware Company to find out how to remove melted Tupperware from the oven racks.
ReplyDeletegreat image and theme. It reminds me when we were first married and my new bride made a roast fresh ham. The meat thermometer was kaput and 8 hours later so was the roast. The only thing left was a hard shell.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot, perfect for the theme. It could have been me before I decided to stop my own efforts in the kitchen and praise the bakeries.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great photo for the theme. Pity it was last year that my Life Partner set fire to the Christmas roast in his super-duper new barbeque. The whole neighbourhood was blanketed in smoke! And I was laughing too hard to take a photo.
ReplyDeleteperfect oops! bet it tasted delicious anyways!
