That rice i burnt while i was here writing about cooking, remember? Anyhow, i burnt the rice and planned to throw it. But a light bulb flashed above my head while pouring the a bit crispy rice on a plate. So i sauted onions in butter, added the unburnt but slightly smoky-smelling rice, then salt and a sprinkle of water to soften it a bit. It did not only salvaged the rice, it tasted yummy too.
Do you salvage burnt foods? or slightly burnt ones? How?
It's great to share ideas about this.

Good idea! I do not know if I would have thought of that. I hae only burned biscuits and I do not think anything could hav salvaged them. They make great rocks though, LOL

Rocky biscuits? If they are no charcoal burnt, try pounding them into powder (or use a blender or chopper) and add a little water or milk. I think they can serve as great no-bake pie crust. I guess. :)

hi pinkytabor I tried that but my rice was too badly sorched and just tasted horrid so my experiment was a failure. I think too badly burnt foods should only go one place , the waste disposal unit. they cannot be salvaged. however wellbrowned bread can be used for croutons or for breading other foods for frying and makes it really delicious.

salvaging is only for slightly burnt foods. If you try to re-cook the really burnt ones,it will taste really terrible. But yes, brown bread can be cruotons indeed.
