We have a kitchen island with an electric stove, 4 burners and a grill. I’ve been unsuccessful at my attempts to train wife/kids not to leave flammable things like plastic grocery bags on the stove. There are only two little red lights for the 5 areas, you can’t tell by looking what is, or has been, on. I’m just amazed the cats haven’t gotten a hotfoot. People have been burned, but haven’t learned.

I once did burn off all facial hair and got knocked unconscious trying to light the water heater. The house had been converted from one type of gas to another, right before I bought it, without changing the gas orifice or regulator.

Nowadays, I travel and work so much that the cost savings of buying and cooking food is just not worth it from an economic and opportunity cost.

Cheers,
Ben

Your argument is so flawed, it is obvious to me you have not considered the beefits of not working properly… :)

I vaguely remember an incident. It was 3-4 years back, i was making tea (Yea, that is how we make tea, here in India, in case of any confusions ;) ) before leaving for office in the morning. In all the hurry, totally forgot about that and left for office. After reaching there (it was hardly a 15 min drive on bike) it hit my mind…”bullshit…i was making tea !!!”. So i rushed back and found that all the water/milk had turned black with lots of bubbles (they were black too :D ) and the stove was still burning (safer than a gas leakage, i think ;) ).

Of course 98% of all statistics are entirely made up on the spot…

I bought one when I had a leak in the summer (one week after moving in) and it all got shut off. But when it was fixed 6 weeks later I forgot all about it. It’s still sitting in a packet somewhere.

So thanks for the reminder.
