I made sweet potatoes and had them on the back eye of a glass top stove while I made the topping. I though I had turned on the front eye for a pan of water. While I had my back to the stove (thank goodnes) all of a sudden I heard a "shot" on off and thought someone has shot a gun in my house. I turned around and there was glass and sweet potatoes all over my stove and floor. i was so lucky that no one was walking by when it exploded. They would have been hurt badly. I am extra careful now!
