I am a mass murderer...

 ...of saucepans.

The latest one didn't even last a week before it was ruined. 

Yesterday, as I was working late, I smelt something and thought that something was on fire in the kitchen. I rushed over there, but there were no flames, just my newest small pan, with no water in it any more. 

It's not just the pan I use to boil water for my hot drinks (the electric kettle died about a month ago). I can kill larger pans which I use for boiling rice or making soups or vegetable stews, too.  I just completely forget about the fact that there is something on the boil in the kitchen. Frozen spinach, boiled eggs... I've forgotten them all. And then the bottom of the pan is ruined beyond all recovery.

I'm at my wits' end. I really don't know what to do. Only eat sandwiches and salads?
