just so you know...

If you intend to turn on the stove eye with the pot of green beans, but accidentally turn on the eye that has your PLASTIC FLOUR CANISTER sitting on it, this is what happens.

Just thought I'd clear that up.

As I said in my first post, if I can't be a shining example, I guess I'll just have to be a horrible warning.  ;)

oh no! i've done similar, but not quite that bad.

i have a white corningware bowl that has a red mark on it - set it down next to a loaf of bread right hot out of the oven. the red from the plastic never came off.

and i have a misshapen container i keep my oatmeal in. :)

Oh yes, there's battle scars on most of the plastic stuff in my kitchen. Normally I catch it before, like, the bottom completely burns out, though! xD

Oh don't you just hate that? It reminds me of the time I put eggs on to boil and then went to the store. I remembered half way through Cost Co. what I had done. When I called my husband he said "It's too late!" All the water boiled out and the eggs had exploded all over the kitchen. The mess was terrible and I had to throw the pan away. Funny how we get busy and forget what exactly we are doing.

I started a kitchen fire once because I forgot about the oil and test kernals of popcorn that I had put on the stove. It was mainly confined to the pot and a few feet above it so it wasn't hard to put out. That's probably the worst thing I've done, but certainly not the only thing. :-)
