I just buy a cheap iron from WalMart. I had a Rowenta and "dumb diddy me" I turned it off , emptied the water, and set it on the stove burner to cool. Mind you I said "Cool". Well, it didn't cool as I went in to cook something, turned on the wrong burner and cooked alright....I had cooked Rowenta for supper.
Now do you really think I need a non shut off iron? Not with my brain. LOL
Now I have something to even top off that. I put some bacon in the oven on a broiler pan. When bacon was beautifully done, I took out the pan, Left it to cool a bit. Again turned on the wrong burner to cook something else, melted the broiler pan, burner and bacon creating a one piece wall hanging......LOL. I had to buy a new burner, pan and bacon.
Now where is the local "luny house"? Do I need to be there? Please don't answer that question.
