Well, I started to make some popcorn on the stove for my daughter, and like any mother, I got distracted with kids, etc. My 5 yr old says, "Mommy, something's stinky in the kitchen." I go in to find a pot full of smoke (No jokes KG!:p ) I lifted the lid and a fire erupts. It's a small fire, I can blow it out, right? The fire comes rushing up and singes, yes, singes my eyebrows, eyelashes, and some of my hair!!

I quickly then put the lid back on it and took it outside. Now, here's the amazing part other than I am not burned any worse.....my pot still looks like new! UNBELIEVABLE!! Now, at my shows I may say, "I know another consultant who...." :D
 
What a great story.....and glad that you weren't seriously burned!......and I WILL use it at my shows...."I know a consultant who....":D :D :D

No way! Some other tidbit to add to your shows! Maybe you can catch a pan on fire at a cooking show and show them how awesome it looks afterwards! Just Kidding!!

Hmmm, there's an idea! Just not sure how our insurance co. would feel about all of us creating fire at our shows.....:rolleyes: :D
 
I am glad your ok----

I am going to use your story too!!! That is incredible!!
 
Glad to hear everything was ok. I will be using the story too like everyone else too. I burnt chili in the stock pot once and I thought it ruined it but it cleaned up good. My DH was a little mad because he loves the pots and pans but he got over it.

Oh my goodness. I'm such a distracted cook so I could totally see me doing something like this! I'm glad you're ok and thanks for the story!!
 
I am so glad you are ok. Could have gone another way and been a whole other story.

Just curious, was it the professional or excutive pot? Hopefully both would weather that. (But don't experiment with the other one to find out?) HEE HEE

I will soooo use your story.

Tracy, it was the Executive 2 qt casserole that comes with the 5 piece set....Even the glass lid that actually PUT OUT the fire is still pristeen!:cool:
 
Hey Girlfriend!I'm getting the visual of you and the fire on the stove!! You crack me up!!Question????? When you have a microwave, why are you popping popcorn stovetop???
 
Here's another story you could use......
One of my customers told me this. SHe was cooking a roast in the 13X9 baker and went to the store. FOrgetting all about the roast....she had run into some friends and had lunch with them and then they ended up having a few drinks. Well, by the time she got home.....the fire department was at her house. Well, I guess the house was full of smoke but no fire. The fireman told her that it had to be the stoneware (being made of clay because if it had been the regular teflon pan....it would've caught fire and burned up! Needless to say, she was happy and is a fan of our stoneware, still has all of her pictures and momentos.....but never goes to the store when she's cooking! Great story that I use at my shows. THought I'd pass that one on to!

I can't speak for others but some of us think oil-popped corn in a pan has better texture and more flavor than nuked popcorn.

I absolutely agree!!!
 
The Popcorn del Fuego Story is SO going into my cookware talk!!!Glad you're okay, btw. ;)
 
I also agree with KG....popcorn popped in a pan on the stovetop is WAY WAY better than the Microwave popcorn! Nuked popcorn is just much more convenient...I'll take regular popcorn any day!!!
 
If I'm home all by myself and I want to do something quick, I zap some popcorn in the microwave. If, however, my DH is home and we're settling in for an evening (or afternoon) of movies and popcorn, we do the stovetop. To us, it's just better.
