Where's my casserole?

[Doughdog]

I cannot for the life of me find my casserole dish. A large, bright blue, cast iron casserole dish that I used at the end of November last year but when I went back to look at christmas it was gone.

I havent lent it to anyone and DH says he hasn't either, I have looked in every kitchen cupboard in this dimension. Its just too big and heavy to be hiding in the odd sock/teaspoon place.

Where's the chuff is it?

Where do you normally keep it?

I keep mine on the stove top, but I’ve seen them kept…

In the pantry
garage
on top of kitchen cupboards
in a dining room sideboard

Thanks! I'm shocked, they seem indestructible. Hope your tiles survived.

Did you use it to soak a dehydrated plant? I MAY have lost a saucepan this way….

Did you put the Christmas Tree in it?

In the garage, shed or garden - your DH might have used it for something?

Have your kids taken it to school/a friend's house to use as a prop or play thing for something?

Have you got a double oven and it's in one of them?

Have you used it as a plant pot or similar?

On top the freezer or a cupboard, but pushed to the back out of sight?

Spider room 🤣 Your garage sounds like mine, avoid it at all costs!!

And my friend's wok (although she did find it eventually). Not sure where though as I forgot to ask her.

Come on @Doughdog is this just gathering quotes for a Daily fail click bait article?

Have you checked the washing machine filter?

I have a blue heavy casserole dish too its stored in the proofing drawer under the oven, maybe you have a drawer there too.

On top of the big unit.

That’s my guess. Same as the huge flan dish with a monster lemon meringue pie I had left at DD’s, and only realised after having searched everywhere and given up, thinking dh must have broken it and wouldn’t admit it.

Under the stairs, or you decided to store it in the sideboard to save some kitchen space.

Since the double Ninja arrived I use the double oven as a cupboard and at present holds the George Foreman and the toasted sandwich maker and other tat!

In the freezer? Thats generally where sleep deprived me puts everything

You're a Mumsnetter.

You'll have left a casserole on the doorstep of the nearest woman who'd just given birth and retreated without asking to see the baby.

Think back 😁

They're with my ring doorbell too. No bloody idea where that went .

Is it in the boot of your car?

@PrimalScreamingJar of gravy and stuffing?! What a bizarre addition to the prize! 😆

Your teenage daughter has it. She thinks it’s a Dutch oven (there’s a TikTok she’s been watching about this). She doesn’t want to own up

Indeed they do - in fact they can shatter and draw blood. Which is how I learnt a lesson about making moussaka when wearing shorts. Still have a scar above my knee. Quarry tiles were fine though.

Under stairs cupboard? On a windowsill, catching the dribbles from a plastic plant pot? Outside, where you left it when you burnt something that was cooking in it? Catching water from a leak? The boot of your car? In the kitchen of the person you lent it to? In the place you took it to when you went to a potluck? Apologies for the Americanism, what do we call a potluck in the UK?

Did you have a clear out of the kitchen to make room for Christmas overkill?

If so, and you can remember what you did with everything, could you send me my wok and about 8 pairs of scissors?

With the M&S stain removing wipes I’ve lost

I once found £200 I had carefully hidden in a box set of DVDs. No idea why I had saved it by the time I found it again

I once discovered a large precious bowl was in the.garage being used to collect oil drips - just saying!!
