How Not To Broil

2/13/2011 10 Comments
I am a little embarrassed to admit that while I cook a lot I usually do not broil. Last night however, I decided I was going to broil a steak. My boyfriend would have stuck the steak on a cookie sheet which would ruin the cookie sheet, but I have to say it was so much better than what I did. *cringe*

 Hey, I was never taught how to cook. I just improvise and make it work. No serious catastrophes yet. Nothing like If This Is Motherhood has done. I am invincible, or so I thought. I think the worst thing I ever did was when I was attempting to make lasagna. I didn't think about the possibility that the pan would overflow and my oven caught on fire. So, I ,being my genius self, got the fire extinguisher and spayed my wonderful lasagna and the inside of my oven. It was tough to clean up and two trays of lasagna were destroyed but I didn't burn them.

He had brought home a delicious looking steak and I put it in a glass cassarole dish on the top rack of the oven. That is what you are supposed to do right? All was going well and then I got distracted. I realized and rushed to the oven thinking I must have burned the steak. He came out and said the steak looks great and we bent down to take a look. He then proceeded to flip the steak and that is when it all went wrong.

He lifted the steak up with a fork and the whole dish burst into pieces. There was flying pieces of glass throughout the whole kitchen. It was all over the bottom of my oven and covered the floor. With this new found knowledge I stress you, DO NOT BROIL IN A GLASS PAN. It was not a pretty site, and it took hours to clean up!!!!
