1. Housemate leaves pan of water on back ring of electric hob, forgets to turn the ring off at the hob, but does turn the hob off at the wall. 2. Hours later, my girlfriend turns the hob on at the wall to use a front ring. 3. Girlfriend turns front ring off at the hob, but not the hob off at the wall. 4. I wander into the kitchen 3/4 of an hour later to find an empty red-hot (literally glowing) saucepan on the back ring of the hob. 5. I pick it up to get it off the heat. 6. It's hot :-P 7. I put it down in a hurry. On the worksurface. 8. The plastic surface of the worksurface explodes with sufficient force to throw the pan off the side (towards me I might add).
