My wife has been cultivating a sourdough starter for the last year and a half. It’s been her baby for all of lockdown. The last couple of days she’s had it growing in the oven to keep it in a warm and temperature-stable place. I knew they were in there but forgot in that key moment as I preheated the oven for dinner. 10 minutes later the starter was dead as a doornail and partly cooked. I sat on the floor of the kitchen in horror.
Of course, I told her as soon as she got home and she’s as upset at me as I am with myself. My wife immediately ran into the bedroom and is crying her eyes out. I can't console her since I'm the one at fault. Hopefully, some of the discard is useful for resurrecting “Gertrude”. God, I hope so. Seriously, any tips would be welcome at this point.
TL;DR I killed my wife's sourdough starter.
