I Just Spent Twenty Minutes Picking Glass Shards Out Of My Oven: Why Multi-Tasking In The Kitchen Is Usually A Bad Idea

Q: If
  1. You are doing holiday baking.
  2. The bread you're making requires a water bath.
  3. You're a little distracted because you're preparing several different recipes at the same time.
  4. You decide that rather than transport a pan full of water from the sink to the oven, you will put the Pyrex dish into the oven and then pour the water into it.
  5. You allow the glass dish to reach the oven temperature, which is 400 degrees.
  6. You then pour hot tap water (approximately 120 degrees) into the preheated glass dish.

Do you know what happens?


A: Yep.

Hey there! I linked to your blog from Kristy. How is Utah? I saw the article on Paul's dad in the Ensign - very complimentary! Hope all is well.
As far as the whole water temp. problem - didn't you win some really prestigious scholarship to BYU? What happened?!? :)

I'm just glad you were cleaning the glass shards out of your oven instead of out of your FACE! I usually try to stay away from the recipes with the word "bath" in it. Unless of course the name of the dessert has the name "brulee" in it.
