Steviekid Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Was making a chocolate sponge thing last night, (the type you leave in the can and shove in a pot full of boiling water for 35mins) so went and lay on the couch waiting for it to be ready. I next remember waking up about four hours later. I'd forgotten all about the pudding thing by now. Turned the gas fire off(!) then wandered through to the kitchen. Dicovered the tin had exploded showering the entire kitchen with chocolate. This must also have blown the hob out which had subsequently filled the entire house up with gas . Opened all the windows wide and went out to try to sleep in the car for a few hours. Went back in when I though it might be safe to go to bed to discover the rain had soaked the entire bed through the wide open window. I really don't know how the whole place didn't go up. Properly sunk in today that I'm very lucky not to be in little bits by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Blooming eck, sounds like you were very very lucky indeed. That could have been one sleep you didn't wake up from. I read the story to my other half who just informed me of this: For future reference, with tined puddings you can remove them from the tin, put them on a plate, put a bowl over the top and cook for 4 minutes in the microwave - it steam cooks it in the same way much quicker... not that you would ever make that mistake again but it might be worth knowing next time you fancy some chocolate pudding - mmm yum yum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steviekid Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 Can you believe that I was actually considering shifting the Supra to the next street at half two in the morning so it wouldn't get trashed if the house went bang!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham S Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Jesus dude, use the micorwave next time, only takes a few minutes too!! Reading this and knowing there was no major damage and you wern't hurt it is quite funny really, would love to see pics of the kitchen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Believe it or not i think if memory serves me correctly, if you filled up the house with gas (over 25%) it would not explode if you lit a match! Gas is at its most explosive between 15% and 25%. Anyway looks like you had a close call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steviekid Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 would love to see pics of the kitchen! I've cleaned it now I'm afraid. It really did look like there was shit all over the walls and ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 lol 25%? I wouldn't want to take a chance on it would you? I guess if there is little air left it would be fine... but if asleep you'd probably die in your sleep anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steviekid Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 So you nearly blew your house up last night. Are you going to try harder tonight? I'm not pressing the spark button on the cooker for at least a week! My throat is still really dry and sore from the gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
