Katherine McPhee accidentally roasted her son's iPad in the oven while making dinner.
In an Instagram story that she uploaded on Monday, the "American Idol" alum revealed that she had baked her son's iPad by mistake while cooking. The clip was filmed by her friend Kelly Viavattine, who was tagged in the post.
"Just over here cooking iPads," McPhee wrote on her Instagram story video with two facepalm emojis. "I tried to hide it and forgot it was in there while heating up the oven for my chicken special."
The video clip, which was reuploaded to Page Six's YouTube channel, showed McPhee removing the tablet with red oven mitts.
"Katherine, I thought something smelled funny," Viavattine can be heard saying in the clip. "Why the hell is the iPad in the oven?"
"The iPad is in the oven because he kept asking for it," McPhee responded, referring to her son Rennie who she shares with her husband David Foster.
Her son can also be heard repeatedly calling for his mother in the background of the video, which McPhee acknowledges in a caption on her Instagram story: "Poor Rennie saying 'Help me Mommy."
In the clip, McPhee can be seen trying to retrieve the iPad.
"Oh my God, it smells really bad," the singer says upon taking the device out.
"It's probably toxic, we should get it outside," her friend Viavattine responds. "I smelled it, and I thought it was just the chicken."
McPhee, 39, and Foster, 73, welcomed their son in 2021 — about 15 years after they first met on the set of "American Idol" in 2006.
