the real question is did they not need them or did they start another pot

What kitchen starts mash potatoes and then have no one watch it after? Is this a situation whete you just watched a pot and decided, “not my job”
Edit: OP you watched this happen. No one cooks mash potatoes overnight. I’m actually believing you did this

Huh, aluminium pot or steel? Amazing if it can do that to steel. Lucky there wasn’t a full on fire.

A watched pot may never boil but that doesnt mean you shouldnt check it every now and then! Why oh god why would anyone set a gas stove on and LEAVE IT UNATTENDED!?!?

I need to know was it the end of the day or the end of your shift. Did someone picking up the shift not realise they were cooking? Was it overnight?

TIL this restaurant doesn’t properly clean their kitchen before going home. (otherwise, how do you ever “forget” a pot of mashed potatoes on the stove?)

For some reason I pictured how red in the face one of my old GMs would have been at this shit. The KM would have just chuckled and tell us we gotta figure out what to do without that pot because we “don’t have the money”. Then the actual prep cook is pissed because they’re the only person who actually uses it. Then we finally get another one or two before a high volume weekend or whatever.

I’ve melted an aluminum pot before.
I also met a cute girl at the bar when I was waiting for the chickens I put in the oven to finish for the morning chicken salad. I did not turn off the ovens or remove the chickens from the oven before leaving the bar.
I did not burn down the restaurant, I did not get fired. I did get laid. Sometimes the odds are in your favor.
Seriously fellow line cooks, get tested for ADD. I got diagnosed when I reached retirement age. Some things would have been better just if I had known.

Yeapm. Once made dragon eggs accidentally in a pyrex dish. Thank God I left a window open, bedroom door closed and the hood fan on high.
By the time i came back and found them the smoke had cleared.

I almost burned the hotel room down cooking eggs tonight. My little butane camp stove melted on the sink. Canceled my credit card and I’m out.
No power and a tree on my house. Living Ina van by the river because it’s a mile wide.
