Burning hot Bibimbap and a Melting Coaster

Silly me placed a hot claypot on a plastic coaster while trying to fix lunch.

I'm not sure if that thing is even called a coaster. I don't know why I didn't use the wooden one which I always use and obviously should have used.

I heard a sizzling sound at the beginning and smelt something weird almost throughout the whole time while I was eating. But it was only when I had finished my food and wanted to bring the claypot to the sink that I realised the plastic had melted>

The coaster was stuck to the bottom of the claypot :o And I spent quite some time and effort trying to get the ruined coaster off the claypot and scraping off the plastic pieces stuck onto the base of the claypot :|

Well, well, well, this will be the first and last time.

Ha at least my Bibimbap looks pretty decent today :)
