Welp, I've reached a new level of being scatterbrained this morning. I left my rice cooker on top of my convection oven when said oven was turned on to cook lunch earlier, melting a hole under my rice cooker and destroying it. That would explain the melted plastic smell earlier, why my oven had a black mark on top of it, and why the cooker wasn't working when I went to test out the Flash Rice feature for the first time.
