Melted plastic on toast, take three. Unfortunately, takes four AND five occurred the same day, take four within minutes of take three. I was too disgusted by my own stupidity to take pictures of the others. Do you blame me?
I'm not much one for melting plastic, myself, though I think I have done in a few rubber scrapers by trying to scrape things that were too hot. Getting the last dribble out of stickybun pans come to mind.
To make you feel better, at least you did not do what my stepmom once did. She left some of those "Gladware" baking dishes in the oven and forget them... She turned on the oven to warm it up and those things melted and started on fire. She almost burned the place down! She ruined my dad's double ovens and caused enough smoke damage that they had to repaint the entire kitchen.
Breathe a sigh of relief... You are not to that point yet! :D
If I found a metal funnel for a nickel at a yard sale like I did this plastic (still servicable, though ugly) one, I'd snatch it up straightaway. And, just so everyone knows, my carelessness seems to be intrinsically tied to canning. Four of the five mishaps occurred when the stove was swimming in canning jars.
Michelle, Um. After having just now defended my carelessness with plastic, I shouldn't be honest about a past mishap. (Let's just say that Dr. and Mrs. Eckley's wooden cutting board was scorched when they returned from London, and that if it weren't for a superheroic husband with sharp eyes, they might have returned to a scorched house, as well. )
Earth to Abbie: quit buying plastic! I think they still make metal funnels, you just have to look a little harder.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed!

Maybe I should swear off stoves...
