Monkey #2 and the pancake griddle

I got a call from the wife saying that Monkey #2 (code name for the boy) melted the compost bowl on top of the pancake griddle. She said she was on the computer when she smelled the faint scent of pancakes wafting through the house. She gets up to go the kitchen and sees the plastic bowl for our compost had melted flat on the pancake griddle. Monkey #2 had turned on the griddle after climbing up on a nearby chair. The griddle is fine.
