    Have you ever burnt tea (to dust from liquid and melted kettle handle in the process) while reheating it?

      I have fallen asleep while boiling hotdogs to wake up in a smoky mess with black tar hotdog welded to the bottom of the pot. And it was my brother’s house.

      I once left a pot of water boiling for so long that the water boiled away and the bottom of the pan started to melt. When I took it off the burner, parts of the pot dripped on the floor and burned the linoleum.

      One time I cooked two frozen pizzas at the same time, one melted through the grate while the other was still frozen. Pretty proud of that one.

      Oh, and one time I scarred my brother so bad by making Kool-aid with salt instead of sugar that he stopped drinking it forever.
