kitchen disasters

[sparks19]

I don't know if this counts but this is the biggest disaster that ever happened in my kitchen.

I decided to make some microwave popcorn one day. I got out a pack and put it in the microwave for the usual time. Just then the phone rang

I was talking to my friend waiting for the microwave to stop when smoke starts POURING out of it. I hang up the phone and run to the kitchen. It was a snack pack I thought it was regular sized so I put it in for waaaaaaaaaay to long. I had to throw it outside until it stopped smoking and smouldering.

The inside of the microwave was BLACK and it took me hours to scrub that out.

That reminds me of a workplace kitchen disaster years ago.

There was a microwave in the company kitchen, and a coworker decided to make popcorn, didn't have a paper bag (which you can put the unpopped corn in if you don't have fancy "microwave popcorn" so just put a handful of kernels in a plastic bowl (tupperware-type) and microwaved it. I ended up clearing the building after unplugging the thing when I smelled burning plastic and someone said "Karen, the microwaves's on fire, what do we do?" DUH????

Imagine the toxic smell of burning, melting plastic combined with the smell of burnt popcorn.
