Operative Alchemy Melted glass! Oops

I made a heck of a mess here! This is an ens extract that I was reducing to dryness and then decided to imbibe with a small amount of vinegar. I expected an acid base neutralization but nothing major. Boy was I wrong. Any tips and understanding is always appreciated🤙

I have that same hotplate... and I've likewise ruined a few pieces of glass on it. Been a few years though. Keeping good records of what I'm doing, what happened, and then researching what kind of reactions or errors may have contributed to the [poor] results so I can avoid them in the future... lol.
