Happy Birthday Peter! 

Happy Birthday to Peter!

Happy Birthday Peter!

It was last night... But I was making hamburgers for dinner, the pan melted, and I burned the hell out of my foot when some molten metal splashed the floor and hit the sole of my foot while I was trying to take care of the situation.

Good times.

I need to find which piece of metal looks like the mark above. I remember peeling it off my foot at some point.

**BRENT**

WTF? So sorry, Brent. Take care of that

It happens. Kinda ruined my plans for the day, and walking sucks, but it's blistered up and just kinda sucks. Walking isn't fun... at all.

**BRENT**

Holy shit that looks painful...

I never worried about a pan melting in the past... I'll have to add that to the list.

WTF Brent? There was a T-1000 hiding in that pan?

Yeezh dude, WTH?  Did you forget it on the burner, was it a cheap ass pan, or 'other'?

It was a borrowed pan. It was on the burner heating up for a burger (my other stuff has something in it in the fridge), so I grabbed this one I borrowed. I had it heating up while I was starting to wrap up some pre-made patties to freeze for later, then I dropped a burger on. I also had the oven on with fries cooking, so it was hotter than normal. It wound up smoking more than it should have, so I went to pull it off the heat and it dripped a lovely silvery metal all over my stove, and a little on the floor, which splashed up onto my foot. I ran outside to the wet grass off the porch, cooled it off enough to pull the metal off that was fused to my foot, and went back in to deal with the tons of smoke filling the place.

I don't know what was worse... the 20 hours of pain so far, or the fact that I didn't get my burger. I REALLY want a burger, but damn, I don't want to cook for a while.

I think I'm going to order a pizza.

 

**BRENT**

Damn Brent.  Dammit.  Heal up!

Order a hamburger pizza on biscuit dough. Although they are likely to tell you they ran out...

Get cookies, Brent. They're safer. Or ice cream for some cold. That must be the shittiest pan in the world

Me:  slept.  After fine dining and bevs with Colin and Jeff, drove home (managed to get home very quickly and avoided the rain), fell asleep in my chair at my computer.  Got up, went to bed.  All in all, I think I got 12 hours of sleep.

I think I got about 5 hours of sleep after the fine dining and Forza racing with Colin, might need a nap today.

Good thing you're back, too.  We need your knife skills.  Brent is not going to be able to keep the foot.

I'd be happy to cut Brent's foot off.  What is going on with Brent's foot?

It was even a cooking incident!

**BRENT**

I couldn't even make it to the door to get the pizza that was delivered, much less get out of the house. I still didn't get my hamburger, though, so I'm REALLY wanting to make that happen.

**BRENT**

Ouch, that indeed must be painful, sorry to hear Brent.  Gotta stop trying to mint coins.....large bills, much better.....

 

Hope you feel better very soon.

Wow Brent, that's something I've never heard of happening before, until now. get well soon!

My mom actually melted the bottom off two pans that I can recall, though never with the molten metal getting on her. Crappy pans suck.

I just bought a bunch of new pans today for ~$5 from a Chinese hotel supplier.  Fingers crossed.

Ouch, I've never melted a pan in my life. That sounds awful!

Somehow a kitchen pan supposedly meant to handle up to 8000 BTUs of direct heat melting seems counter intuitive. Electric stove elements get up to 450 degrees so a empty frying pan melting is very unusual.  Was the frying pan a brand name?

Welcome back Jacob!

 

I once turned on the wrong burner and melted an empty double-boiler that was idling on said burner. Totally melted into rivulets of liquid aluminum, just like Brent's only more so. Given that it was some sort of favorite pan (of Bonnie's), thank heavens a local store carried that particular pan!
