One forgets cooking basics at a great risk.

Well, not a great one but still a risk.

Tonight a loud noise from the oven and what should appear but an exploded potato.

A baking potato in which the cook had not cut the requisite little stabs where the steam can escape.

I was in a hurry and going from one thing to another and forgot.

There are three potatoes in this photo. Which one do you think has not been stabbed prior to baking?

Easy, huh?

I had only one and it was all over the oven but not wet and messy. Sort of dry and messy.

No harm done.

A dust pan and brush out once the oven cooled.

Thank the gods for instant mashed. Done and done.

I am just passing it on. For anyone who thinks they know it all, you probably do, but execution can be put to risk by an absent mind.

Eternal vigilance is called for.
