Add a dash of ADHD memory issues and this is almost guaranteed to burn your house down.

    Have you ever burnt tea (to dust from liquid and melted kettle handle in the process) while reheating it?

    My mom burnt a pot of spaghetti.

    Yes, burnt. To a crisp.

    One time I cooked two frozen pizzas at the same time, one melted through the grate while the other was still frozen. Pretty proud of that one.

    Oh, and one time I scarred my brother so bad by making Kool-aid with salt instead of sugar that he stopped drinking it forever.

    I once left a pot of water boiling for so long that the water boiled away and the bottom of the pan started to melt. When I took it off the burner, parts of the pot dripped on the floor and burned the linoleum.

    I set my microwave to 2:00 and I'm always back in time to open it at exactly 1:59. So I think I'm going to use this hack.

    Ahh here we go, I have to admit this.

    I'm on my 3rd microwave. Ramen noodles caught fire twice. I forgot to add water once, go figure. The second time, I put them in for 33 minutes and 30 seconds instead of 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Started playing Xbox and forgot until I got hungry again and heard the smoke alarms going off. Flames were coming out of the microwave door so high they burned the cabinets above black, it was a brand new microwave. 3rd time was a metal coffee mug. Who makes a F-ing metal coffee cup so you can't reheat your coffee. It was cool watching the electric sparks and lines fly though.

    No regrets. It was the grandparents microwaves. LOL.

    I often put things on the microwave for like 20-30 minutes at power 2-3, just because I know I'm going to lose track of time (and things are usually better cooked slowly in the microwave, I find).
