Mark Appliance Plugs

Recently, I put up a crockpot full of chicken and marinade. Leaving it overnight, it was perfect the next morning. By noon, however, it was a bit dry. That is when I realized what I had done.

As you can see by the photo, there is another plug plugged into the outlet. It's to a candle melt. When I went to unplug what I thought was the pot, I unplugged the candle melt. I don't always trust myself to remember to turn it off, but unplugging it means it's off for sure.

So, I decided to mark the one I needed to unplug with a bread tie. Easy and foolproof, this is a mistake I won't ever make again.

Hope that helps!
