Yeah..... I put it in the microwave for 13 minutes instead of 1 minute 30 seconds. Sitting on the couch and saw smoke bellowing into the living room. Needless to say, I am forbidden from using the microwave from now on.

I once set toaster oven on fire trying to crisp up potato chips. Lol. I'm a pretty good cook though. Don't give up, unless you're purposefully trying to get out of kitchen duties2

Haha a little better lol.I once set toaster oven on fire trying to crisp up potato chips. Lol. I'm a pretty good cook though. Don't give up, unless you're purposefully trying to get out of kitchen duties
Nope. Just one mishap away from a full blown house fire. I was told I can't even use an easy bake oven lol.2 -
Oh dear. My son did that to our microwave with a bowl of (dry) malt o meal. Of course he was 3 at that time Don't sweat it! Sleep deprived mommy moments happen to the best of us.3

My friend forgot about eggs she was hard boiling on the stove until they burned and started smoking. Her house smelled awful for months!4

I had a roommate start making ramen when they got home from the bar one night. Fill the pot with water-check, turn on burner-check, put noodles in pot-check, pass out on the couch-check.
I woke up around 6:30 or so to black smoke from the melted noodles filling the apartment. Pretty safe to say that pot was no Bueno after that.2 -

In my experience, they start exploding at some point, so you end up with egg popcorn ceiling above your stove ( didn't have microwave oven over it to catch that s#it), hehe. I was 8 or so, cartoons or movies on tv , eggs on the stove. .. bad combo0 -
Oh my god. I hope neither SO was home to witness this.1

:laugh:
I'm sorry. I really shouldn't laugh, but this is just too funny.
At least you didn't cause an entire dorm to be evacuated at 3am because that "snack" you were making set off the fire alarm.1 -
Ok, I'll be the one to say it. "am not allowed," "am forbidden," "been banned," "I was told I can't even use an easy bake oven." I hope you're joking, but seeing similar language 4 times in just one thread is more than a little concerning.3

Both were home lol, just not near the kitchen.TeacupsAndToning wrote: »I lit my shirt on fire while making grilled cheese a few months ago. I was actually so depressed because I loved that shirt.

Not really kidding. Obviously you don't know me. How is that concerning?2 -

How?
Okay, wow, you're in luck because I wanted to take a break from doing my actual work so I drew my stove in Paint for you.
Basically, I had burner A on to maximum because I was boiling soup and I had burner B on medium because I was making grilled cheese. I decided, because I am oh so smart, that instead of taking one step to the left from where I was along the counter and then putting the cheese onto the bread in the frying pan, that noooooo, it would be easier if I just leaned over burner A to put the cheese onto the bread on burner B.
My shirt was loose fitting so it moved away from my body and voila.
Sweater was on fire.
I shouldn't laugh, but I couldn't help but giggle, because I likely would have done the same thing.1
