Step-by-step explanation:

When my friend Tom sets to work in the kitchen, disaster often results. Once, he tried to make toasted cheese sandwiches for us by putting slices of cheese in the toaster along with the bread, he ruined the toaster. I, frankly not much of a cook either. The water in the Teflon pan steamed away while Tom was on the telephone, and both the beans and the Teflon coating in the pan were ruined. Finally, another time Tom made a spaghetti for us, and the noodles stuck so tightly together that we had to cut off slices with a knife and fork. In addition, the meatballs were burned on the outside but almost raw on the inside. Because of Tom’s kitchen mishaps, I never eat at his place without an Alka â€" Seltzer in my pocket, or without money in

Unnecessary sentences do not support the main theme which is Tom is a dangerous cook!
