I made a dozen cupcakes a few days ago. I have a 13x9 inch metal cake pan with a plastic lid that I put them down in. I've been seeing a few ants in the kitchen, lately, they're worse at night. So, to keep the ants from getting into the cupcakes, I put the cake pan in the oven at night. All is well.
I had baked some bacon wrapped chicken breasts the other night and had lots of bacon left. I used the last of my homemade bacon bits in potato salad last night. I decided to cook out the rest of the bacon this morning for more bacon bits. I always cook bacon in the oven. I got everything laid out and ready, turned the oven on to heat to desired temp. The oven dinged at me letting me know it was ready. Opened the oven door to put the bacon it, and what did I see? Yep. All those cupcakes and plastic lid melted all over my oven!!!!!!!!
I had forgotten they were in there! What a mess. I took the whole mess outside to cool, and Cary has just taken it all to the main garbage can out at the road. So, I started my day off just right. NOT.
I got the oven cleaned good, and the bacon is now cooked and in the freezer.
