Oh man, dumbest thing in a while.
I come home from work around 5 pm and realized that I have some brocolli which I better cook or it will go. So as soon as I got in the door I when to the kitchen and decided to cook the brocolli. I do this by first boiling water in an electic kettle and then tranfering the boiling water into a pot and cooking it for a few minutes. So I put the water in the kettle turned the stove on and went to my bedroom to change.
When I came back about 5 minutes later. The kitchen was full of thick black smoke and flames where coming out of the stove. For a second I could not figure out what had caught on fire. Then realized that I had put the electric kettled (to part which is plastic and metal) on top of the stove and lit it :shock: So the plastic caught on fire hot dark plastic that was molten and spread all over the stove and burner. I doused the fire with water (don't have fire extinguisher) and of course flames shot up to the cupboards. A mess. Luckily nothing else caught on fire but it sure stinks of burned plastic in here. Even after opening all the doors and windows.
I can't believe I just did that as I've done the same routine countless times. Just got back from the mall from buying a replacement kettle to save the brocolli!
Dumbass!
