Kitchen disasters

Holy sh!t, Aldistar! I'll never use an aluminum pie pan without a tray under it again!

Bohne, thanks for the recipe. It sounds really good. When I figure out the conversions, I'll try it.

Eeek. About the only thing worse than hot custard is hot grease, or roux, "cajun napalm".

Jespah, yes, I do salvage the burnt pans, at least my Le Cruset, and learned how back at that thread. The baking soda thing works for me...

I'm home today anticipating a blizzard, so I decided to clean the oven. The house will fill with smoke again. Oh well. After it's clean I'm making chocolate chip cookies.

No I never wrote anyone, honestly it didn't occur to me. I blame myself, I should have put one of my hands under the pan to reinforce it but I was just moving it about a foot or so and I thought it would be OK. I did have it on a tray in the oven to catch spills, but there were two other pies in there as well and I couldn't safely lift all 3 at once.

I have never used one of those aluminum pans again though. Straight Pyrex pie dishes from now on.

Thank you, I have been creeping about a little, still trying to settle in Dallas so it isn't every day I can get to my computer.

By the way I do still love pumpkin pie, just not those damn pans.

Bumping this for boomer.

I hope everyone does have a fire extinguisher in their kitchen. Also, check it, twice a year. I went to use my four year old extinguisher, and it failed.
