I posted this story a long time ago but can't find it so let me sum up.
I am cooking a mountain man breakfast for our mens group at church. aFter frying the sausage, eggs, spuds, peppers etc I have the pan simmering on the electric burner. As one of the elders reached in to get some ymmy cinnamon rolls out of the oven BAM! about half the mountan man breakfast went straight up in the air. the old dude cussed the pastor said a prayer and I found this ........
so I got out the hot glue gun and fixed it right up..
just kidding I tossed it.. moral of the story, be sure to have even heating, It may have been the pan but I think the electric burner was not good for the CI. don't be afraid of being poisoned none of us died after eating that breakfast.
