I accidentally baked my scones with my portable charger. It was one of the kind that sticks to the back of your phone, like a MagSafe charger. I’m assuming it stuck to the back of the tray while I was baking because I only realized it was there once I put the tray on the table. I didn’t notice anything unusual when I started baking, but after a few minutes, I noticed a strange smell and didn’t think much of it. Now I know it was the battery. I already ate one scone, and I’m worried about potential contamination. I didn’t see any leaks from the battery; if anything, it was quite dry. The battery kind of snapped in half, and it smelled really bad. What should I do? Are the rest of my scones contaminated?
TL;DR: accidentally baked my scones with my portable charger and i ate one, what should i do?

Serious answer: Check the foodsafety sub.
Joke answer: Don’t worry, your scones are just extra energizing now.
Yo its just some fucking scones. Throw them away you nut job.
Take the battery pack out of your house immediately and place it in a metal bucket, ideally with sand, gravel, or soil over it.
Lithium batteries easily spontaneously combust when damaged.
No, I am not joking.
The scones are fine.
as someone else already said: get the battery out of your house – NOW! you don‘t want something like this to happen while this thing is still inside your home. take it to a trash disposal site that is equipped to handle batteries as soon as you can.
be safe.
I honestly wouldn’t eat them and you may want to look into cleaning your oven. Lithium batteries can off gas some really harmful chemicals.
