“Towards the end of the process, it was pureeing the sauce when it started making a funny noise and vibrating.

“I walked over to turn it off and as I did that, it just exploded – the lid blew off and hot liquid went everywhere, all over me. The pain was intense.”

The mother-of-two from Halls Head, WA was rushed by ambulance to the hospital burns unit for extensive treatment
