Toasted !
Well last night was a bit of a disaster:-
Heavy rain and high winds resulted in a "power cut" as I was cooking the evening meal for my 95 year old mother in law.
So out with the torches and the camping stove.
NOW you should NOT put a gas camping stove too close to an electric toaster!
Working by torch light means that only one spot is illuminated at a time, so while retrieving some ingredients (pepper) from the cupboard I noticed an odd yellow flicker out of the corner of my eye. I should have turned round more quickly - but no I got the pepper out of the cupboard before turning round.
Burning plastic is harder to extinguish than I expected.
Oh well it could have been a lot worse.
(I would have expected the plastic on a toaster to be fire resistant).
Stay safe.
