When my Sorcerer Sim makes a potion in her cauldron, everything is great unless she chooses "Bottle All Up". Then, it turns into food in her inventory instead of the potion batch I made. So instead of 4 Potions of Needful Things, I have 4 Chilis or 4 Mac and Cheeses. Also, the food says "spoiled" but isn't (I ate one to see if it gave me the potion effects. It did not. Only fed my Sim.). If you choose to bottle ONE potion out of your cauldron, it works and you get one potion. Then, you choose "Bottle All Up" and you get potions but ONLY if you bottle ONE up first.
Yeah, this has happened to me, too. I agree that it's if you cancel an interaction.
I don't want my Sims to cook in the cauldron, but they're OBSESSED. They don't want to cook in anything else. Stoves are passe! Grills are mildly acceptable. But the cauldron! that's the good stuff!
NO SIR OR MA'AM YOU MAY NOT.
So I always cancel the interaction and have them discard the contents before going and getting some of the copious leftovers they have in the fridge, and the next thing they cook in the cauldron is... whatever I canceled. This wastes the ingredients they used. I've gotten into the habit of having them brew a Potion of Plentiful Needs before they brew anything else, in case their expensive ingredients turn into chili or cioppino or whatever other garbage they decided to muck up their magical tool with.
In one household I put the cauldron outside in a fenced area and only unlock the gate to allow a caster to brew a potion, then relock it when they're finished.
