Did You Know

Did you know that glass baking dishes, if left on a hot burner, will explode? I didn’t but I do now.  Never would have even thought such a thing could happen but my kitchen is a testament to the fact that it does.

So why did I leave a baking dish on a hot burner? Well, that was total stupidity.  I was making spaghetti and turned on the wrong burner without realizing it.  The baking dish had the garlic bread in it. 

These babies go in 450+ heat in the oven, it really didn’t occur to me that if it didn’t heat evenly it would explode.  I do mean explode too.  There is glass everywhere.  Thankfully the dogs and I were in the living room when the explosion occurred.  It was quite loud. 

There are still a couple of big pieces on the burner so I am waiting for them to cool a bit before going in there – don’t want to be cleaning up glass and have them explode on me.  This could have been a real disaster – I shudder to think what injuries it could have done if the dogs and I were in there.  The glass was so hot it burned into the tile.  

My Guardian Angel should get a raise because looking after me must keep him/her on their toes…especially in the kitchen.  :-(
