She was doing hardcore parkour and knocked some Tupperware onto the stove. The stove that she had turned on.
Everyone is fine, but my stove is kinda fucked.
If it is a glass top stove, a razor blade scraper does wonders
It is. I’ll have to give that a try
A plastic razor blade scraper may help keep you from scratching your stove top. They’re easy to find on Amazon and other online stores. I’m not sure about physical store availability though
You won’t scratch your stovetop with a razor blade. The ceramic glass top is significantly higher up on the Mohs scale than the steel razor blade.
Maybe acteone and a scraper? May need a stronger solvent, depending on what burnt plastic becomes, but it may soften it up
Seconding the rec! I had a plastic melting incident last year and that fixed it right up.
Recently did this but using a sharp flat kitchen knife. Angle it almost horizontally and scrape it over the surface like it’s a sharpening stone.
How is she ever going to learn chemistry if you keep shutting down her experiments?
Poor jelly!
She did not like the firemen.
Good work Jelly. Maybe tomorrow you can achieve your dreams of being an outside cat.

Cat proof that shit.
Omg thank you
Holy s, 30 bucks per knob though. I better be able to pass those down to my grandkids!
Oh wow, there are cheaper options, but they’re more annoying: https://www.acehardware.com/departments/hardware/safety-and-security/child-safety/5989181
(But less annoying than a burned down house)
definitely less annoying than a burnt down house
God forbid girls have hobbies…
Our stove is so easy to turn on. I bump into it and flip on the gas accidentally pretty often. My curly tailed dog has as well. I need to figure that out.
Yeah they did. That’s a perfect kitty right there.
Sorry about the stove, though.
Extremely overkill for direct next step but whenever you have to eventually replace the range/stove seriously consider an induction stove.
Doesn’t magically get rid of all risk but the fact that the stove itself doesn’t heat up is great. If you haven’t used one it is more efficient and the pan or whatever itself becomes the heating surface. All of them I know of even auto disable themselves if no metal is on it which is great for safety.
The pot or pan is the secondary in the circuit. They wont work without it on the stove top because there is nothing to induct the energy to. All the modern one switch off if there is no load in certain length of time.
This is at least the second time I have heard this, you could never accidentally turn mine on. Sounds like there’s a lot of missing regulation in this space.
We have a touch button glass stove with a lock and I always lock it when not in use just in case one of the cats does something like this. Glad everyone is fine and it’s only a lost plastic container and some cleanup work 🤍
We do, too.
My wife once caused it to crash by popping an aluminum bottlecap on top of the control interface.
Jelly did nothing wrong. Just look at that face!
She’s such a menace. She’s lucky she’s cute lol
