[QUOTE="T_G, post: 624465, member: 175083"] We were sitting having breakfast in the kitchen when all of a sudden we heard a loud bang and about 750 g of melted butter was splashed all over the kitchen. It even reached the ceiling :eek: It appears my wife but 3 butter blocks in a steel pot and was melting it on a 5 setting on the electric stove - which is sort of middle hot. Luckily the butter was melted but not really hot, some splashes went on my children - it would have been a disaster if it were hot. The explosion blew away most of the content in the pot, it took quite some time to get all the f**** butter from the wall, ceiling, floor, everywhere. What a mess )(-red Anyway, I had a look in the net and found a little bit of information, I guess it was the water content of the butter that caused it. My wife said she was using expensive bioo butter (whatever that is supposed to be??), so I would guess that butter has a higher water content.
