Katharine McPhee accidentally BAKES her son's TABLET in the OVEN - after forgetting she had hidden iPad from her toddler in kitchen
Katharine McPhee is learning what it is like to raise an active toddler.
Her son Rennie, 2 1/2, kept asking for his iPad and the American Idol alum, 39, hid it in the oven to stop him from repeatedly asking for it.
In a video she shared to her Instagram Stories, the Smash star - who recently insisted Russell Brand didn't make her uncomfortable - headed towards the oven, which was pre-heating, because of a strong and unpleasant odor.
When she opened the oven, she started laughing, reached for some oven mitts and pulled out the burnt iPad.
'The iPad is in the oven because he kept asking for it,' the mom of one, 39, said.

'Just over here cooking iPads. I tried to hide it and forgot it was in there while hearing [sic] up the oven for my chicken special,' she captioned the video.
She added: 'Poor Rennie saying "Help me Mommy."'
Her friend Kelly Viavattine took the video and Katharine added a caption saying: 'Can always count on @KVIVATTINE to capture my highest moments.'
Kelly commented on the odor, saying: 'I thought it was chicken. Orange juice chicken.'
The Scorpion alum remarked that the burnt iPad smelled awful, adding: 'Its probably toxic.'
The Shark Night actress shares her son with her husband, David Foster, 73.
The couple got married in London on June 28, 2019 and welcomed their son on February.
In August, the family endured a tragic loss following the death of their nanny, who died after being run over at a car dealership.

Yadira Calito, 55, was pinned under the SUV and dragged for 20 feet in a horrific accident at a Toyota dealership in Los Angeles, according to TMZ.
Police confirmed an 84-year-old woman crashed her Toyota RAV4 into the customer reception area on Aug. 10.
The elderly driver had reportedly been taking in her car for a service when she hit the gas instead of the brakes, causing the vehicle to collide with Calito.
She was rushed to hospital in a critical condition and later pronounced dead. The driver of the SUV has not been arrested.
