This one's not actually a baking disaster but definitely a kitchen stove experience. I had an electric stove/oven for all of my married years and was very comfortable with it. A couple of years ago we converted our home to natural gas and were amazed at how much we saved by not buying heating oil. So my husband asked if it might be worth converting to a gas stove to save even more. I was not comfortable with that and he didn't mention it again. We had friends in for dinner one evening and I put the kettle on for tea after we'd eaten. I went back to the table for conversation and, after a while, I heard something sizzling in the kitchen when nothing should have still been cooking. I went to the kitchen to find that I had accidentally turned on the FRONT burner under the Corning Ware dish holding the leftover beef tenderloin! Both the meat and the dish were burnt solid black but, amazingly, the dish never cracked! It also never came clean. Results: I LOVE MY NEW GAS RANGE!!! 😂
