So, we recently became aware that my 13 year old brother is still too young to do anything involving baking besides putting together ingredients.
First he sat the hot tray of cookies on top of an oven mitt, which then stuck to the bottom. Derp derp, he can't find the mitt so he grabs a hot pad and uses it instead - one mitt on one hand, one hot pad on the other.
After a few minutes, the oven started smoking and everything smelled funny so we opened the oven and took out the tray and THERE IS MELTED RED PLASTIC all over the bottom of the tray, the rack, and the bottom of the oven.
I found this terribly amusing. So this also made us aware that you should make yourself certain of what materials your oven mitts are made of, because you don't want that tray you are holding to melt them to your hand.
Anyway, we let the oven cool, and then mom peeled the plastic off the rack and I scraped out the bottom of the oven. I think the cleanest places in the whole oven are now where the plastic had dripped and pooled.
While cleaning the oven, I found a black, burnt Cheez-it, which amused me even more.
How the hell did a Cheez-it get in the oven?
