From Aparatus to Art

Darn! I broke my favourite frying pan lid. That classic mistake of putting the lid on a cool back burner while preheating my pan on the front burner... or so I thought. I turned on the wrong burner--to max heat, of course, because I was frying noodles. The bang startled me but I instantly realised what happened.

I was disappointed—it's my favourite Ikea lid, and fits the big pans. But oh, such pretty art.

DH was awfully nice about my mistake. He's going to try replacing the glass with wire mesh for a frying cover that fits the pan. (We have one now but it's giant and blocks us from using the element next to the one we're frying on.)
