(well..., besides the person that was cooking at the time..) ..i saw with my own eyes, as it actually happened. a cast iron pan, blew a perfect 22calibur size hole right in the center of the pan, and it blew straight up through the pan and also through the exaust unit above the stovetop, with a very violent force...just like a bullet.!!! it was on an electric coil top stove and we were cooking breaded chickin livers in oil...oh yeh, the chicken livers were awesome... so yummy
