How to set fire to your kitchen

Part One of a very short series (I hope)

Step 1. Fail to tidy up kitchen before lunch, thus necessitating use of cooker top as counter

Step 2. Put plate with bread on right front ring of cooker

Step 3. Move pan of water from front left ring to back left ring to make room

Step 4. Get butter from fridge, take tub lid off, place it on front left ring. Put tub of butter on top.

Step 5. Butter bread, while keeping an eye on burger that is being grilled.

Step 6. Absently turn on ring to heat water in pan.

Step 7. Sniff. Wonder what that sudden smell of burning plastic is.

Step 8. Realise you have set fire to butter tub....


I am happy to report the only casualty was the tub lid which melted beautifully. As a bonus, I have now discovered that melted plastic hardens quickly and can be easily scraped off your cooker rings :P

If anyone wants me, I'll be sobbing quietly into my cup of tea and making peace with Senility.

PS: England 4: Northern Ireland 0. Yay!!

PPS: New Dr Who episode tonight! Squee!

I know this because I, too, have attempted something similar. Of course, I just put a plastic tub of butter on my heated burner. :)
