[Terry Bernard]

Hi,
These cases are very common in houses to women who are busy on computer doing
business at home and something just burn in kitchen.I have an easy solution for busy moms.Just stop cooking start ordering something from outside this will keep you save from damage and ruin.if you like cooking do both tasks together connect your lap top in kitchen and easily cook your favorite food.

Thanks...

Whew.... the good thing about this story is that it can only happen to those who cook. I'm not a very big cooker. Give me my $5 foot long

I recently turned on my burner to heat up a pot of water for tea. I didnt realize however, that I actually turned on the wrong burner! That burner had a cookie sheet laying on it with a plastic spatula. My house was soon filled with nasty smoke and I had a bubbling pile of plastic on my pan. Haha!

Fortunately nothing serious has happened to my kitchen.....yet. I have had to replace a few small pots and a pan, though. I especially forget when I make hard boiled eggs. Who would have though they explode like that?!?!

I have boiled water until there was no more water overflowed food that required milk and water over cooked pie among other things forgotten to pick up my hubby,and my computer is really close to the kitchen

Well maybe just a little not as much to destroy the kitchen more like a pot bubbling over or scent of food burning.

I also did this when I was pregnant...I was a total flake! That's all I did was risk our house being burned down.

I exploded boiled eggs and even burnt already cooked chicken wings and my poor kids couldn't eat the pizza...on more than one occasion...how do you burn pizza? LOL LOL

Since then I bought one of those timers that goes off and gives me a near-heart attack everytime...but at least I know when the food is done! )

My son decided to help with ThanksGiving Dinner 2007. Luckily we caught it before too much damage was done.

We all eat WHITE meat, so I only bought a turkey breast roast rather then a whole bird. If anyone has ever bought the roast you know it comes tied up in a string net to hold it together. It is supposed to take about 3 hours to cook. So I popped it into the oven and went back to my desk.

About 20 minutes later the house started filling with smoke and the alarm was going off. I go running into the kitchen and there is smoke pouring out of the top of the stove. Yank open the oven door and its full of smoke. (no flames). Go and throw the back door open to get some air in there. Run back and grab the bird out of the oven, and the netting is completely charred.

My little helper had turned the oven over to BROIL.

When I was married the first time, I was baking something and it was in a glass container, somehow it managed to get hot enough to explode... not real sure how it happened?! I don't do enough cooking around here to really do more than burn a few things... hubby does all the cooking and it's actually really awesome food.

Just went back and I seen this post... I did something simular to this one once also. Except I was turning water on for pasta and the pan sitting on the burner that I turned on by mistake was one of those aluminum throw away pans. And the oven sat right next to the back door in our very tiny kitchen. - can you see where this is going?

Yeah it burned straight through the pan, which caught the curtains to the window in the door on fire. And wouldn't ya know... the smartest place to hang the fire extinguisher was on the wall BEHIND the stove next to the door... so I couldn't get to it with out risk of burning the &^%$ out of my self!

I'm actually still not sure how I managed to get the extinguisher off the wall with out getting burned, but I did manage to eventually get to it and get the fire put out. My mother how ever was NOT happy when she got home. But no serious damage was done. Some one/thing was definitely watching over me that day!
