Don’t; let this happen  to you

 

 

Just the other day I was boiling some thing on the stove.  The pot boiled over and extinguished he flame. I grabbed the pot by the handle and moved it to a cool off burner.  I then turned the burner off but in my haste I didn’t turn it completely off I went on with the cleanup and the burner still slightly on.  It was at least 20 mi, before I realized the burner was on. And releasing gas.

 

Shortly later  <My dw comes homer from work and as soon as she enters she asks”whats that smell?’   I answered I don’t smell anything and I really did not.” I smell gas she says” and began opening windows and doors. It’s almost ironic that my first job was as a gas utility field service rep. Repairing gas leaks in residences were one of my major duties.  Ability to detect gas by smell was an absolute requirement.  Use caution when cooking with a gas range and learn from my mistake.  Guess My cooking days are shortened.

I'm just glad you are ok Ruben!!!!  And good thing your wife came home when she did!  I remember my parents having a gas stove and my dad always leaving it slightly on and doing the same thing you did.  He always let stuff boil over but would completely forget to turn it off.  I got to know that smell well.  Hang a sign above that stove!  :)  I actually do that for my mom anyway.  Her stove is electric but she always leaves it on.  So we finally just put a sign above the stove.  So far it has worked!

I have that problem with my electric stove.  Now I mostly just use my microwave.

Oh gosh Ruben, my daughter has done that before.  Luckily, I have a super-sensitive nose and she's not allowed to cook when I'm not home, so we managed to catch it, but still... it can be scary!

I'm glad your wife made it home in time.
