Crab boils out of water!

Philippines
August 7, 2017 4:31am CST
I woke up late again this morning and saw this pot being boiled with a crab on it. Turns out the water's out and starts to roast from the bottom. I turned it off and found Mom outside talking to some one. She was shocked that she forgot all about her crabs. I wonder what could have happened if I didn't found that, it would have been a total roast cab. video credits to Matty Zims

That is the reason why I stopped cooking on a stove. Slow cooker for life!

@Letranknight2015 I have electric theormos for hot water, I have electric oven for baking and slow cooker for stew and soups. this is a slow cooker and it is where most of my meals came from. I cook before I sleep and I wake up with ready lunch. I dont have a normal work schedule so I am not able to have breakfast.

Sometimes I'm like your mom, easily forgetting something

@ilocosboy I made a promise that I will be on her side always..seeing her getting old made me realize how lucky I am to have her as mother..definitely going to keep that promise until her end, which am not ready for.

@Letranknight2015 its nice you mother had a good son, I feel pity when I see daughters and sons not giving importance to their parents.

So did you have the crabs for lunch? Good thing that you woke up and turned off the stove. That was an accident waiting to happen.

It's a good thing that you found out about it in time. My hubby always forgets things too so I always remind my children to be cautious and mindful. Especially that I am out all day.

@Letranknight2015 That's why I always say when cooking, avoid multitasking. Set other things aside and concentrate on cooking.I don't want to come home and found all of them turned into ashes.

@ARIES1973 That would be a nightmare to loose a house just because of negligence.

Hello @ARIES1973 specially if your boiling or cooking something. That reminds me way back when my brother was here and he forgot when he was boiling his kids feeding bottles, all melted

maybe the fire of the stove was too strong that the water boiled and evaporated fast?

Hello @ridingbet It was too strong and too high. Even though it was low but she shouldn't have left it unattended.

@Letranknight2015 right, we should always be in a closer distance when we cook those dishes that need special attention.

It happens while doing multi tasking. Once I was doing something in kitchen in between I went to put dry cloths. I forgot about what I was doing in kitchen. I find out smoke outside and I thought it is from other's home and searching what is wrong there. Finally I find it out it is from my kitchen.

Besides forgetting, I know when you talk to someone outside, a lot of the time can easily pass by. Good think you discovered that in time!!

When she's outside talking to some one, you can really guess she really forgot about it @much2say
