Who IS being unreasonable?

[ContraryFairy]

Person A puts some veggie sausages in a frying pan in the hob for person B.

Busy chaotic lunch. Rushing to drop kids all over etc. Person B does a drop off, person A leaves Kitchen. Kids do dishwasher.

Lunch over.

Person B returns, takes the sausages out of the pan and eats them.

4 hours on...

Get home. Kitchen hot. Pan still on.

Who is in the wrong for leaving the pan on? A or B?

TIA!

[Ecureuil]

Person B

[MyBrilliantDisguise]

Person B is to blame as he/she was the person who took the sausages out of the pan, so should have turned the pan off.

HOWEVER... how long were those sausages cooking, for goodness sake?!

[Kleinzeit]

Both. Leaving an unattended frying pan on a hot hob is dangerous.

[AuntLydia]

Both really but so not worth arguing about. They just for forgotten about - it happens. Presumably b assumed a had turned pan off and a assumed b would. No biggie.

[MuddyMoose]

I think person B as they were the ones to finish off cooking & take the food out the pan. They should of checked all was turned off before sitting to eat.

[CherieBabySpliffUp]

B, they stopped the food cooking so should have turned the hob off

[Katyazamo]

I would say person A for leaving the room with a pan on if I've got the right gist of things.

[Bluntness100]

Well how long between person a leaving kitchen and person b returning?

Either way it’s Person b every time, they were last to be at the pan.

[ShowMePotatoSalad]

Both. The frying pan was left unattended not once but TWICE! Utter madness.

[ContraryFairy]

They were veggie sausages. They don't change.

No fat.

5 mins drop off for person B. Person A left room as Person B returned from drop off.

[pigsDOfly]

Sounds like they're both being a bit careless.

Person A shouldn't have put food onto fry and then left the kitchen and ignored the fact that they have left sausages frying.

Person B should have made sure the hob was turned off when they took the sausages off the hob; if the sausages were warm chances are the hob was still on, person B should have checked to make sure it was off.

[ContraryFairy]

Person B has form- 2 ruined saucepans from leaving 'poached egg' water on for hours.

Does this matter?

[Ragnarhairybretches]

^^ it's not the fat. It's a hot pan and hob unattended

[pigsDOfly]

I'm beginning to suspect that OP is person A.

[Sparkletastic]

Person B without question

[Fluffypinkpyjamas]

B

[MillicentFawcett]

B. Your husband is a twat

[EllaHen]

The lack of communication is to blame. No, scratch that - person B is to blame.

Sounds like person B is being a baby and saying "but you put them on."

Person B is pretty ungrateful too.

[Quartz2208]

Both it's a unsafe way to cook leaving a frying pan unattended

[LaContessaDiPlump]

B

[Toadinthehole]

Both.

[SecondHandSnake]

Person B. No brainer. Who just takes sausages out of a frying pan and returns it to the hob without turning it off?

Someone who doesn't do enough cooking I'd wager.

[PurpleDaisies]

B left the pan on after they ate the sausages. They're most at fault but I don't think A was sensible for leaving the sausage in the pan unattended.

[bridgetreilly]

Both. Person A shouldn't leave the pan on without explicitly saying to person B that there are sausages cooking for them and they are now responsible for the pan. Person B should clearly have turned the heat off when they ate the sausages.

Next time, both of you turn the pan off when you aren't there.

[BrutusMcDogface]

What Millicent said! I'm sure you're A and your partner is B. And yes, he/she (B) is in the wrong.
