So in a matter of 20 minutes, I managed to catch the burner on fire and blow up the microwave! I was defrosting some hash browns for Sunday morning breakfast and noticed the microwave was not working right. The light and the timer were still on, but it wasn't making any microwave type noises! I opened the door and tried it again with no luck! (dad came over and looked at it and he got it to shoot flames out the side; I think it's TOAST)
The hash browns were ready to cook, so I put them in a hot pan on the stove and away we went. Jacob and Mason were "helping" like usual and Jacob noticed the flames coming out from under the pan! He started to panic! I turned off the burner, got the lid and put it over the flames. They went right out! (the night before, I made stew and it boiled into the drip pan! I forgot to clean it, OOPS!)
It was a great teaching experience for Jacob. We have been talking a lot lately about what to do in case there is a fire or any other emergency! I reminded him NOT to panic.
So today; Mason, Brandon, and I are headed into town to purchase a new microwave and some drip pans for the stove! How fun!
