Earlier, Rex had tried to bargain with Big Brother for food but was told that he should be able to make something with his "culinary experience".
Several housemates helped out with preparing the meal, which included pear tarts, mashed potato, crispy bacon and rhubarb sorbet.
However, when Rex poured cold water on to a hot pan, smoke filled the kitchen and the group began to make smoke alarm noises.
As Big Brother asked a housemate to open the garden doors to let it out, Rex grinned: "You said you want to play cooking? Let's play."
However, the smoke situation worsened and the group was evacuated to the garden.
As they huddled together in the outside bathroom, Mohamed and Michael began to worry that their food would be ruined.
"This could cause another fire," Rex pointed out. "The potatoes are burning."
However, the housemates were eventually allowed back in and happily settled down to their feast.
