She was doing hardcore parkour and knocked some Tupperware onto the stove. The stove that she had turned on.

Everyone is fine, but my stove is kinda fucked.

Extremely overkill for direct next step but whenever you have to eventually replace the range/stove seriously consider an induction stove.

Doesn't magically get rid of all risk but the fact that the stove itself doesn't heat up is great. If you haven't used one it is more efficient and the pan or whatever itself becomes the heating surface. All of them I know of even auto disable themselves if no metal is on it which is great for safety.

The pot or pan is the secondary in the circuit. They wont work without it on the stove top because there is nothing to induct the energy to. All the modern one switch off if there is no load in certain length of time.
