Thread: I burned the dog food AGAIN!

This morning I put on some dog food to cook - 2 chicken frames and a couple of sweet potatoes, bring to boil and cook on low for 60 minutes. Blend the lot into a creamy paste (bones are pulverised) and put into fridge where it congeals into . . . .well. . . . dog food of course.

Usually I set the stove to high and then once its boiled turn down to low and put it on a timer for the rest. However I forgot it was on high and went down teh shed. Some time later SWMBO appears at shed door hands on hips. "You've done it again" she said.

Yep, bottom of pan burned thick and black, house full of smoke etc
AT least the chicken and sweet potato were well done. Emptied contest and scrapped the bottom of the pan into the blender no worries. Then I saw the Particle counter that I always keep in the kitchen!

It was well over 500 µg/m^3 when I first saw it and this was the count after 5 minutes of running around opening all doors and windows and running extraction fans

I noticed after I took teh phot that just behind is is a CO2 meter and its reading 330o ppm (normal is 415)
BTW these figures are not unusual when SWMBO does her weekly baking.

SWMBO has threatened to put me into a nursing home.
