I’d used my frying pan to cook a pork chop for tea and as I knew I’d be using it again the next day I decided to just wipe it with kitchen towel and store in the oven to keep the smells down. I left my new metal and silicon tongs in it as well. Yes, you’re right, the next day I was baking a cake, put the oven on to heat it up and melted the silicon part of the tongs. I finally worked out what the smell was, grabbed my new oven gloves, took out the frying pan and tongs but then ended up with bright orange blobs of melted plastic all over my new oven gloves! Luckily the frying pan was good quality stainless steel and was fine!
