Disaster Kitchen: Oops.

[caffienekitty]

And the first Disaster Kitchen victim of 2016 is...

The tea kettle.

What it's supposed to look like (and still does on one side):




What it looks like now (on the other side):




It still holds water, but the bottom metal layers have debonded so the copper outer layer is now quite... ripply... over the steel, and it doesn't sit quite right on the burner. It had a bit of that from previous oopses, but it's more prominent now.

Not quite sure exactly how I did it, but it involved forgetting about trying to make tea and possibly something under the burner that didn't really catch fire so much as turn to smoke and ash. I have also confirmed that the smoke alarm in this apartment doesn't do a damn thing.
