So I threw a stuffed porkchop in the oven, set it to 350 and walked away. I watched abit of TV and heard what sounded like a dripping noise. I walked over to the oven and heard what sounded like bubbling liquid. I thought that was strange since I had only just put it in the oven. I opened the oven and was temporariliy blinded. The bottom element had cracked somehow, and was arcing. I had no idea that could happen. It was pretty entertaining once I stopped my George Carlin impression and turned the oven off.

I ended up searing the chop in a pan on the stovetop and finishing it in the microwave. It was edible but a little tough. I called the maintenence guy to fix the element. He had it replaced in short order. Short -- electricity. Ha! I mean quickly.
