Mixing the Yorkshire Puddings

My dad did that with a 5 l tin of red paint when I was a kid, I think it took around 10 years to get the last of it off the garage walls, and himself.

john, you are a star. You have just proved to my missus that i am not totally mental and that using a drill is a perfectly fine replacement for the broken electric whisk. She was halfway through a cake and it went bang, she refused to let me use the drill, apparently it was a disgusting idea haha

I used to work in a printing ink lab.
We got a new mixing machine with a dodgy clamp.which arrived early evening, after the boss had gone home.
I left a note on his desk about the machine, warning him not to use it.
When I arrived back at work next morning, the boss was already in.

Unfortunately, he "hadn't seen" the note, and decided to use the new mixer to knock up a 25L bucket of bright orange ink.
And he set the machine to the highest speed before he started it running.

Our pristine, newly installed, white platerboard walls were covered in a 4ft stripe around the entire room at about chest high - except for one "boss shaped" gap.

Mine was the same-and she was aghast when I used my blowlamp to caramelise some sugar-she has boogered off for good now-dunno what she would think of me paring thin cheese slices with a 2" woodworking chisel.

Back in the late 60s my Mum (with the help of Mr green shield or Embassy)had bought our Dad a Black and Decker drill with all the attachments in a nice wooden cupboard to hang on the wall it had arrived around November, it was supposed to be his Christmas present, anyway the old woman was busy making Christmas pud in those brown mixing bowls when she said to the old man, "you stir this while I pop off to the Co-op" to get something or other, she jumps in the car and away she goes. The old man says to me you hold the bowl and I will get the ideal tool for this job and in to the Drill cupboard he goes sticks the paint stirrer attachment in the drill and away he goes, next thing he hears the car come up the drive and in his panic he tips the drill to the side and sprays me, the back wall and the ceiling in currants and sultanas "Oh shh.. quick quick hide the drill hide the drill and don't you dare say anything" he says to me. now our house had very high ceilings and my mam wore glasses but she would have needed to be blind not to notice, the back kitchen looked as if Eliot Ness had just run through with a Thompson sub machine gun. I quickly ran up the stairs to my bedroom leaving him to face the music. He`s still got that Black and Decker drill case even though some of the bits are missing, I think it was the paint stirrer that went missing first.

mine got very offended when we had a power cut and she needed hot water for the baby's bottle and I propped a small pan on some tins then lit the blowtorch and lay it underneath. dunno what she was stressing about, it worked lol

Im sure I could guess where the stirrer went after that

Not so much of a disaster as above, Parents had gone on holiday and left myself and sister to "fend for ourselves" (both teenagers) my sister decides to cook some chips. So chopped potatoes up in chip slicer and asked me to dry them before dropping in the chip pan, we had a hand cranked centrifuge device for drying salad so I wound it up to a decent speed then left it to wind down not realising the chips hadn't spread out evenly, the lid flies off followed by the chips, we were still finding them days later

My mum had a potato peeler you stuck to the worktop, which you part filled with water and put your spuds in, then turn the handle and a wavy abrasive disc would spin round and sand off the potato skins, I remember one Sunday morning trying it to peel an orange damn thing was no good for oranges. I remember all of us eating our Sunday dinner not saying anything about the orange tasting mashed potatoes mum had lovingly prepared.

Paint stirrers don't work very well when they are bent, as they would be after someone had been hit over the head with one. After that, it would become an object of embarrassment, so maybe it's not surprising it disappeared.
