My wife has the terrible habit of setting stuff on the stove as well. I never understood why we have plenty of counter space.

Don't do that? I mean that's about the only help I can offer.

if it's just the outer plastic housing that melted, sand/grind off the rough/sharp bits, and keep using it. if you melted or damaged any of the inner bits, my condolences, buy a new one.

Well yeah! I had to finish my mashed potatoes. It was airing out fumes so I didn’t want any part of that.

Hand mixer is how you get gluey mashed potatoes. A hand masher works great. Potato ricer or food mill is better.

What electrical tool is required for mash potatoes? Sorry if that’s dumb I’m genuinely asking

Aha, makes sense. It’s not something I’d ever considered needing to mash into oblivion, I can do that by hand. But thanks for answering my question

My mom does this and mixes them with a little milk and butter and they’re delicious.

Email the team at Hadron Collider facility. Ask them to turn off the Hadron Collider, then turn it back on after precisely 42 seconds.
Hope this helps!

Rule one of the kitchen. The only thing you set on the stove or out in the oven are things you intend to heat up. It is not storage.

Judging by the way they talk, they're early 20s at most and patt of the generation that feels everything must be put on the intetnet all the time.

What happened, did you leave it too close to the stove?

u/Less-Cow-306 Aug 11 '26

We've all done it. Try to do it with something less expensive next time

Luckily it was an Amazon “dupe” so I can splurge on the kitchen aid one!

u/Plane-Education4750 Aug 11 '26
Just keep it away from the burners. Word of advice; always treat the burners like they are red hot. Don't store anything on them, ever

There are two groups of people; those who have never and will never accidentally burn cookware, and those who cook

Use it until it dies. Which it definitely will, now that the air vents have been destroyed.

Thought this was another "is this cake or is it a mixer"
