What NOT to do!!!
« on: April 19, 2010, 03:05:36 am »
I thought I'd post a warning, on what not to do......as I stupidly did!  :-))

I made my cob loaf, pre-heated the oven....and I remembered the tips on placing a dish of boiled water underneath the bread for a crunchy crust.

I did this, using a pyrex dish I had on the shelf below, while the oven was preheating.
I poured water into the dish and.......KA-BOOM......it exploded and shattered into pieces  :o :o :o



Now common sense tells me that I should have not had the pyrex dish pre-heated first, and perhaps I should have used my metal baking dish.

Thought I would pass on this warning to prevent a possible heart attack like I almost had!!!

Oh Meagan, that looks an awful mess to clean up!
Poor cat! :D
I use a pyrex dish too, but having shattered a hot dish on a cold sink years ago, I make sure I pour water into it first!

What is your next party trick going to be Maddy  ??? ???

Glad all is well though and everyone can learn from your mistake.  Great photo of the aftermath, would have loved you to have got a snap of the cat's reaction too.

  It was a valid reason to visit the kitchen shop and buy another one........and a few other things  ;)

A video of the cats reaction and mine, would have landed us first prize on funniest home videos......for sure!

I'm glad neither you nor the cat have a weak heart Maddy.

Lol Maddy my cat scatts when she heres the TMX, and when she 1st walked past it and I grinding something she left a trail of fur and laughing kids behind her. I laugh still over her reactment, although I don't think she has many cat lives left lol Poor old girl(fluffy tortoiseshell) I check to see if she is around before I use the TMX, she 10 yrs now and I am determined to get another 10 yrs from her.

Oh, I know what you mean Catisa!

Our laid-back "Nacho", is the same.

As soon as he hears me moving the TM, or taking the varoma off......he runs like the wind!



He certainly does not stay in this position  :D

lol Maddy I used that pic as my profic pic on facebook for a short while lol. Hmm oh your cat Nacho, by the looks of it has too many Nacho's, but how cute!

I can't talk, if our grey cat (is so big not just fat and flabber he really is a big cat) sits on the fence, I swear I see a slight bow in it lol and the only sports he can do is catch dry cat bikkies in his bowl  ;D

ooooops.  Thanks for the reminder.  Boiling water would probably have been OK.  But yes metal pans are good.
