Sometimes when I'm sick and the brain fog is worse, I'll forget to turn off a burner, especially if I was using multiple burners, as I'll have turned off some at least.
But my husband knows and usually we see after an hour or so. Because of this though nothing flammable is ever even close to the stove. I also check before bed in case. I think he does as well.
That's why I love induction - this happened a few times to me as well, but since I always move the pots & pans off the hot plates, they turn off automatically.
