If your stove can possibly be ignited when you aren’t home, don’t store combustible things on top of it, please.
Doesn’t matter what might set off the combustion - a short circuit, a dog, a small family member, a drunk family member..
Don’t store combustibles on your heat-emitting device. You’ll have a bad time.
Mine emits flame, and the only things I store atop it are metal (baking sheets and pans) or Borosilicate glass (like pyrex). But I’m looking to swap for an induction stovetop, because the gas explosion risk is enough for me to be uncomfortable!
You would think this would be obvious to everyone, but no, it is not.
I once lived with a person who believed it completely normal to leave empty but uncleaned pans and utensils inside the oven for days.
One day I am planning on cooking something, so I start preheating the oven.
5 minutes later dear god what is that smell?
Open the oven... dear fucking god, theres the uncleaned nacho pan from 2 days ago with the plastic spatula melted into a puddle on it.
Yeah, thats how I found out its apparently completely normal to do this, and not tell anyone, even though we'd already very clearly delineated dish cleaning times and shifts.
And thats why I don't live with roommates anymore!
Gotta love living with people who are literally incapable of doing a single thing toward maintaining a common area, and also eat all your food without asking, while they are on a diet.
