And when they fail, they fail badly.

New Year's Day, 2011, at the family compound in the region described by Monopoly, on the beach near the casinos. Whirlpool Gold overhead range hood/microwave/convection oven (some kind of touch screen and a fast cook option) - I was running one stock pot and three pressure cookers under it, as the fume hood was running flat out. Suddenly - Bang! Pop! WHIIIIIRRRRRRR! and I got hit with globs of molten plastic, on account of the damn thing having turned itself on, due to the excessive heat from the range top having degraded the touchscreen electronics.

2nd degree burns to the index and middle fingers of my right hand.

I hate the damn thing. We don't have a microwave at all in NY.
