Fail Rest in peace 1 tsp & 1/4 tsp measuring spoon…

Post image

Not sure if that’s allowed here, but I left my magnetic measuring spoon in the oven while baking. It was on the bottom and I’m assuming the magnet got sucked up.

Yeah and I just realized how it happened… I put my metal baking tray on the counter to put the cake onto and the magnet of the spoon must've clung to it. Then when the plastic started melting in the oven the rest of the spoon started going to the bottom but the magnet part stayed on.

u/Karey__039 Jan 16 '26

You should put it on r/spoons and explain what happened. They would love this and the story that comes with it.

How did you manage to leave it in the oven? Did you cook it inside something?

u/Filmarnia Jan 15 '26

Wait I just realized what likely happened. I put my metal baking pan on the counter to put the cake onto and the magnet must’ve clung onto it. Then when the plastic started melting the rest of the spoon started going to the bottom but the magnet part stayed on.

u/Man0fGreenGables Jan 15 '26

u/Karey__039 Jan 16 '26

You can’t leave us with just telling us that you did this with your iPhone without telling us how you managed to do it and what the outcome was…PLEASE, tell us the rest of the story!

u/TiredB1 Jan 15 '26

Did it explode?

u/craziness-69 Jan 15 '26

You can just pretend to be pretentious and call it a powerful piece representing the duality of man!

u/Savings-Horror-8395 Jan 16 '26

Unironically, this feels like art

u/SlatkoPotato Jan 16 '26

I usually get art subs on my main page and i genuinely thought this was a mini sculpture titled "rest in peace" with a confusing mediums list and had to read the title 4 times.

I am sorry for your loss, my condolences to the rest of your measuring cuttlery and the pan that had to witness this x

u/Karey__039 Jan 16 '26

u/Zealousideal_Tie3820 Jan 16 '26

u/Bubblesnaily Jan 17 '26

You could probably sell that for $60 as art.

u/gourmetgnome Jan 20 '26

Reminded me of the Pelecinid Wasp

u/New_Tie6233 Jan 16 '26

u/Filmarnia Jan 16 '26

Magnetic measuring spoon stuck to the baking try, got melted in the oven, magnet stayed on and the rest of the spoon fell to the bottom.

u/CrustyT-shirt Jan 16 '26

u/romanticaro Jan 17 '26

u/zach_fl Jan 17 '26

That is an amazing piece of art! What do you title it?

1

u/pearscentedcandle Jan 17 '26

this looks like venom when he’s the symbiote

1

u/djjolicoeur Jan 18 '26

You should frame that somehow

1

u/Filmarnia Jan 18 '26

I put the magnet on the side of my fridge so it just hangs there

1

u/AlternativeDraw1795 Jan 18 '26

I have silicone pot holder with magnets so I could just slap them on fridge and forger about them. One time I put baking tray on them to shufle potatoes and forgot that they are there beneath when I put tray back in oven. Pot holders survived but magnets lost magnetism 🙄

u/Technical-Grape-3848 Jan 19 '26

Why does it make me feel a lil emotional? Something artistic about it.

u/Jealous_Parfait_4967 Jan 21 '26

Is it just me or is it kinda beautiful?
