Dang it. I wrote this, but it didn’t go live at the right time.
I eat a boiled egg each morning for breakfast. I was out, so I set some on the stove to cook. And then forgot about them. The water boiled out and the eggs sat in the hot saucepan for I don’t know how long. I only remembered they were there when one of the eggs cracked and made a popping noise.
It was already bedtime, so I just put them in the refrigerator and decided to check them later. Yesterday I opened one. They appear to be burned. Dang. I will not be eating these.
I feel your pain. Twice in the past few days I have left the heat on an empty griddle. The first time I wondered why the sun looked so solid streaming through the window, the realized it was smoke. The second time I just heard the burner click on and off. Stupid forgetful mind……..
