Yesterday I bought the new fresh McCains Fries shake and go to be cooked at home (they were lovely and would recommend them lol)

As I am a single I had quite a lot left over so thought, great I'll just have them tomorrow, so poured the remains back in the bag and thought I would just reheat them in the microwave.

DON'T!

I have just had a mini fire!

Stupid bugger didn't realise the inside of the bag was bloody metallic!

What stupid thing have you recently done?

Nothing recently, but i have set jacket spuds alight cooking them in the microwave on two seperate occassions.

I’ve also set my mums kitchen alight making toast in a toaster when i didn’t pull it out enough away from the curtains (i was a lot younger). It’s the only time i ever saw my step-dad run

Put a cold croissant in a toaster at a hotel breakfast buffet, nearly set the whole place on fire!

I skulked away and left the offending croissant stuck in the toaster.

Stood at a barbecue cooking a large stone that someone had slipped in amongst the chicken wings and ribs. I was turning it for 20 minutes before someone pointed it out.

A few years ago, I preheated the oven and put a chicken in to cook. Went to check on it after about half an hour and it was stone cold. I'd only put the top oven on instead of the main one

I blamed the wine

One of really slow conveyor type toasters? I done that on holiday last year when I sliced some bread way too thick. I don't think the staff were swearing at me !!

Yep, the conveyor type toaster and the croissant was too high to fit, so the toaster went up in flames.

There should be a warning sign on them

the right frame of mind -London

It seems it's just me here that only uses the microwave for reheating stuff - dont think I've ever used it to actually cook stuff

But as far as stupid wings go, I often make tea with cold water as I forget to boil the kettle first

Oh no don't do that. The cheese will melt all over the electric element. One knackered toaster and one smokey kitchen

I've got a combination microwave and didn't switch it to convection when I was heating up a garlic bread. 20 minutes of microwaving the baguette and it was on fire. Took 3 days to get the smell out of the microwave

If your dressing gown is towelling the flames travels up the arm across the fibres.

I once was grilling bacon and forgot about it, until my children ran upstairs shouting there are flames coming out of the cooker.

I went down and threw water on it, much to my friends disbelief as it was an electric cooker. Electric and water should never be put together...hmmm...who knew...not me that night (need head in hands emoji)

I went on a stag weekend in Blackpool years ago. Got back to the hotel later and had a couple of pints at the bar, went up to ma room and couldn't get in. Went back down to the bar and told the barman. When he looked at ma keys he said "You're in the wrong hotel mate, yours is next door"

Well the layout was exactly the same

Smoke alarm went off. Had boiled dry a sauce pan as I forgot I was boiling an egg. Pan was red hot. It was a "twib" kind of day
