Have you ever left the stove burner running before?
I've left it running three times before. One time I was boiling water in a kettle, forgot about it, and ruined my first kettle that way. Then the other two times I was boiling pinto beans in water, forgot about it, and all of the water had evaporated, the beans charred, and I smoked up the house. That happened on two occasions.
These events have made me paranoid. I always, ALWAYS, double check that the burner isn't running after I use the stove and I never leave it unattended for long anymore. It's been years now since I last fucked up this royally.
I've forgotten about it plenty of times but never had anything too serious happen. The worst time was when I was boiling eggs and the water fully evaporated. The eggs got burnt on the shell and some of the white around the contact point. Ended up eating everything but the scorched part anyway

Did it boiling eggs one day. Fell asleep on couch. My dog woke me up. Water had boiled away and eggs were making weird popping/cracking noises. Ruined the pan. Pupper was hero.

I used to burn stuff in the oven. One time I had a pizza in the oven for 5 hours. Now I ALWAYS set a a timer on my smartphone. OR I say: "Alexa, remind me in 12 minutes that my pizza is ready". Can't remember the last time I burned something.

I left all the burners on my barbeque on full blast and didn't realize it until two days later, the next day someone from the gas company came and asked if I left anything on, I lied and said I didn't know shit. The guy ran some tests but said it wouldn't affect my bill since "it wasn't my fault and was a defect on their part."
My mother may have been emotionally abusive and neglectful, but she made it clear to me that I would never do three things - leave a burner on the stove running, leave something flammable on top of the stove, or turn on the oven without checking for stuff inside it first.
Fast forward 30 years or so - I'm married, have a house, car, pets etc. And the first time I ever start the oven without checking inside it in my ENTIRE LIFE, is the day my wife chose to use the oven to "hide" unwashed dishes like the plastic colander, some plastic tumblers, and a baking sheet.
It could have been much worse than a little melted plastic and a small burnt mess, but...whew.exe

Your mum forbade you to turn on the oven without checking the insides first? Is it that common to hide flammable stuff inside the oven?

I burned my house down because I made Mac and Cheese

Who uses shit like that anymore? It's 2020. How about getting an induction cooktop or at the very least an electric one? Smh ppl still rubbing two sticks together to create a fire in their home...

16 people living in a nice 4 bedroom house in hollywood. we're grillin outside, i go inside to start heating up oil for fries. I come back outside, we pass a blunt around a couple times, next thing we know, the whole kitchen is on fire. Recently remodeled, $40,000 kitchen. Up in flames. I put a grease fire out with a garden hose and it worked, so don't believe that bullshit. Still, the kitchen was fucked. Thats how we found out our jew landlord had been in forclosure for over a year and we were living there illegally.

Induction is shit, and electric is ancient Gas is the objectively the best stove system
Christian Thomas
this. anyone who can cook a proper meal prefers gas over everything. Only fags cook on induction, and only poor dirty apartment people cook their dogshit food on electric.

>I put some eggs on to boil, took a shower, and went to work. I WENT TO WORK. an hour or so later while teaching a class, I remembered. I quietly told my class I had to leave because I forgot some eggs boiling at home. A few students laughed, but I girl volunteered to go to my apt and tun off the burner real quick. I thanked her and gave her my keys. She turned off the eggs. We fucked when I got home. true story bro
Landon Sanchez
>she ate all the eggs

fckn good story Yas Forumsro

yeah once left it on overnight (got high during cooking and forgot about it). They add a scent to the gas here, so I noticed immediately when waking up and turned it off, opened windows, and took a walk.
Kek maybe once you reach adulthood and start cooking something besides tendies you'll see why gas cooktops are preferable. I had gas cooktops my entire life until I moved into my own place, and I can tell you they are gay as fuck. "oh you want some more heat? how about too much heat is that good?" "Oh, you want less heat? how about no heat at all?" "Oh you want to cook something using a wok? too fucking bad faggot, I'm an electric stove, aka the disappointment of a lifetime."
Michael Scott
hahahaha! YES I said EAT THESE EGGS then I took her back to the whore farm
>Dogshit food on electric Yeah I hate electric. I bought a house as an investment property/flip. Ended up living in it. First renovation I'm going to do is plumb gas over to the kitchen and replace the range with a nice gas one. Fuck electric, gas ranges and ovens FTW

I had a friend in high school whose family used it for storage, there would always be a box of left over pizza in there. The mom got wasted and started the oven once and almost burned the house down.

>mommy still cooks me tendies
Gabriel Richardson
this 100%. "wanna boil water? cool, i'm going to boil over instantly. turn down the heat half a click? enjoy your bathwater pasta!"
Christian Diaz
t. seething poorfags who try to cope with the fact that they could burn down their wooden shacks in a second if they aren't careful enough.
Hudson Morgan
Induction was a fad, its over now The only people that buy them now is for the flat look. They dont have a constant heat, they heat up then cool down to keep an average temperature. Its impossible to simmer using them. They look great in a bench top, but they are terrible to cook with
Luis Rogers
I'm not American, so my house is not built out of toothpicks and toilet paper
Christopher Collins
No, because I pay the fucking gas bill! Turn that shit off!!
