How not to reheat curry..

[flammableBen]

Had a takeaway curry last night and thought I'd reheat the left overs for a nice healthy lunch. Fairly simple procedure you might think, but I made one fatal error.

As I'm sure you all know, take away curries normally come in those metal foil like containers. Which are perfect for whacking in the over the next day. However while doing the aforementioned oven whacking I failed to note that last nights curry had infact come in those little plastic containers more offten asscoisated with chinese takeaway. Not really paying much attention to what I was doing I whacked them in the oven anyway.

Now looking back on it, and especially with all my sciency a-levels, I should probably calculated the rather complex process of 'plastic containers' + '200°C Oven'  is likely to result in a big plasticy curry mess.

If I was hungry enough I probably could have salvaged some of it, but I'm not and now I have to make something else to eat AND clean the melted plastic from the bottom of my oven.

I would take a picture of this rather spectacular display of culinary failure but my sister's the only one with a digital camera and she's fucked off somewhere for the week.

Gutted but your guts will be thanking you this evening.

You can put those foil containers in most new microwaves as well.

I once did a Rustlers BBQ rib burger in the microwave not removing the packaging and ended up with a solid lump of molten plastic and re-processed meat.

Not bad with a bit of HP

The other classic is the forgetting to take the plasticy polystyreney bit you get under some pizzas. That's quite easy to peel off though.
