Kitchen Disasters

[Rapunzel]

Ohhh I have the funniest story... And also really dangerious.



My band mate went back to his flat after a night out, Pissed as a newt. he decided to cook a curry. He went to watch tv while it was cooking but fell asleep. Woke up 6 hours later the house was full of smoke (He's taken the batteries out of the smoke alarm as it kept beeping) Made his way to the kitchen to find then curry was just a black mess, and had melted into the cooking plate.



He kept the curry/plate on the bench top for about a month to remind him not to cook food when he is drunk.

When I lived in London I lived in a house opposite a block of flats. One chap who lived there came home drunk one night and decided to fry himself some chips (fries?). Whilst they were frying he sat down on the sofa and fell asleep. Obviously the chip pan caught fire but he was too zonked to wake up. Luckily a passer-by spotted the flames coming out of his window at 2am and called the fire brigade. They managed to rescue him although his flat was destroyed. He also destroyed the flat above him, from smoke damage, and the one below him, with water damage from the fireman's hoses.

A cautionary tale.

Okay so I had some frozen concentrate apple juice in my freezer. I took it out of the freezer yesterday and put it on top of the fridge. Today I looked at it and the container was all bloated looking. I started to pick it up and *KABOOM* it exploded. Super sticky apple juice concentrate all over the kitchen. It was a bitch to clean up!!!! >

Weird, how did that happen? Never had that happen to me, yet. I didn't think pressure could build up like that with juice concentrate...

Well it did somehow and it was not fun to clean up.

Yeah, I imagine so. I hate sticky messes, too - it never seems like it's ever clean, and somehow a spot is always missed.

Yeah some of it went behind the fridge. The wall indents for the fridge so the only way to get back there is to take the whole fridge out of its little cubby. I have yet to do that yet. I will before too late because I dont know if that stuff will eat through the paint or not.

Mine is not really exciting. I forgot about and burned something in the oven and the whole house stunk for days.

I put some sweet potatoes (yams) in the microwave. I forgot to poke holes in them first. Needless to say, they exploded and man what a mess to clean up!

I've had oil catch fire on the stove. I've had near fire in the mircowave. Just the usual.
