I mean, we knew they wouldn't keep the brand new pans nice for long, but this is crazy.

    I don’t understand how there is such a specific shaped hole in that pan.

  2. _fiddlehead_

    My brain can’t even fathom how tf anyone in a kitchen would let this happen, forgetting even HOW TF IT HAPPENED

  3. TerminallyAbysmal

    Wok burner? I can’t think of any other way, I’ve left pans on high on accident for a loooong time before, never this result

    This is like those pseudoscience experiments where they whisper positive words to bottles of water and then look at the ice crystals under a microscope

    That’s insane! How did they let this happen? Melting metal is very strong smelling.

    Inside job, jet fuel can’t melt steel pans

  7. DirectedDissent

    I’m….. equally shocked and impressed.

  8. _vulture_piano_

    im speechless…and here i thought my old head chef destroyed pans 😬

    Now that’s what I call some real heat damn.

    what could that pan possibly be made out of. fucking gallium?

  11. PokeRantazard

    What was even considered to be cooked in that pan???

    Has to be a wok burner.

    Or there is this old documentary I love called “I Like Killing Flies” about this absurdly eccentric New York Restaurant. In it they show a burner that they guy had drilled the holes out to make it have more gas flow.

    Either way, impressive.

    I walked back into a kitchen one day and the incredibly dumb line cook had managed to light black pepper on fire with a vitamix and melt a hole in the container, while she was standing next to the thing no less.

    30 plus years in the biz and NEVER saw this, like wtf either it was on the stove for weeks or this is one of those Temu garbage buys.

  14. Reminds me of that sled from National Lampoons Christmas Vacation

  15. Shanknado

    Told you to stay off of my favorite burner

  16. CanIGeta_HuuuuYeea12

    It is simply astounding, how one doth manage to cause such fuckery…

    Those have to be aluminum pans. If they were steel, they wouldn’t have been able to clean the stove top of the mess. It would’ve been molten steel tac welding itself onto the stove.

    Still impressive, but a difference of about 1500 degrees F

    If it’s an aluminum pan and they put a bunch of gallium in it, that would eat straight through.

    Geez Chef, I know your dishy quit just before service and you needed a real quick replacement, but you probably shouldn’t have used the Necronomicon to try to summon one.

    Its AI, everything is AI. I think I might be AI. Quick, ask me a question only a human can answer!!

    Jet fuel can’t melt steel beams, but this burner can

  22. graveldragger

    Someone’s parents out there would still be cooking eggs with this. “It’s just a couple scratches!”

    Well done coming up, chef.

    CHEF I MADE SURE THE PANS ARE KOSHER

    To me, that looks like a fairly new Montague range, based on the burner and range top designs. The pan looks like a relatively inexpensive 7 or 8 inch nonstick aluminum pan, probably pretty thin, most likely for making omelets on a station in front of people. The sort of situation where you would want a pan that heats up quickly on a small butane burner.

    Montagues are fucking beasts, those pans are not. My guess is that pan left on that range for about 20 minutes, maybe even less, would result in that kind of damage.

  26. Klutzy_Tie_1543

    The melting point of steel is 2500°F what the actual fuck

  27. SuspiciousTop1155

    Are yall using a blast furnace as a stove?? Cuz how tf did this happen 😳
