What was the last thing you burnt while cooking? When and why?

I burned pizza two nights ago because I was playing around here on mylot and didn't hear the timer.....and thanks to you if I'm lucky I haven't burned the Chicken Cordon Blue I put in the oven.....gonna check right now! It's perfect. I did miss hearing the timer again though. Thanks for the reminder!

Try soaking the pot with bleach. It will loosen and eat all the burnt stuff.

I burn stuff all the time, but making pea soup last week, I even managed to barely scorch it -I was very proud of myself!

The last thing I burned was a casserole. I meant to turn it off, but I turned the knob the wrong way and turned it up all the way. I burnt the cheese topping. Not too bad. I peeled the cheese off and added some more non burnt cheese to it.

Not necessarily cooking but i somehow always end up with burnt microwave popcorn! Tis a shame!

i burnt my spaghetti sauce! and it was for my friends who were coming over later. i was busy entertaining the previous guests who came. and i forgot all about my sauce. it tasted bad. really bad.

I dont burn things very often, I tend to keep a pretty good watch on the things that I am cooking but I slightly burnt some macaroni one day because it did not have enough water in the pot. I try to be pretty careful when I am cooking things because I hate cleaning up burned messes!

The last thing, I guess you could say I kind of burnt was spaghetti o's out of a can. Mind you I didn't make the spaghetti myself and etc, so I guess you could say I didn't really make it so much as heated it. It, or I mean some, stuck to the bottom of the pan, but it was easy to scrape out. Even so I guess you could say it wasn't completely burnt.

if you will put some water & vinegar in that pot & heat it to a boil it will come out easier. i deon't remember the last thing i burned, try to be careful about doing that but it happens so quick sometimes u can't help it. very aggravating to do that for more reasons than one.

I burned my husband's toast yesterday. The reason I burnt the toast is because we had just gotten home from church. My husband is such a grouch when he is hungry. I was trying to do too many things at once to expediate his breakfast and the toast was left in the toaster too long. I have even burnt a pot after cooking, because I forgot to turn the burner off.

The last thing I burnt was some curry and spices mix. I was supposed to fry this for a while in a pan/pot, with some onions before adding meat and coconut milk. I left it for too long, and it was too hot. The spices-curry mix burnt - the smell was terrible and the taste bitter!

Oh Ive done some good ones when I was younger, for example, ever burned boiled eggs? The water evaporates but the heat keeps going. It leaves the most disgusting smell behind, for a very long time. I also once boiled a tin of treacle pudding and let the pan go dry, it exploded all over the kitchen. Even after scrubbing, scraping and repainting, we still had a stippled effect on the walls and ceilings. I dont do it anymore coz I tend to stay in the kitchen doing other things now, while Im cooking and Ive given up on boiling things, coz thats where I seem to go wrong.

Mine was grilled cheese sandwiches. I always have a hard time making them just right. They are either under done or too done. I hate mine burnt too!

You sure handled that soup really bad lol.I have burned soup before but my latest victim was rice an peas .I was on mylot and turned the stove up too much and as a result the bottom of the food got burned .I had to let it soak and when I finished after about three days scraped off huge chunks of hardened burnt rice from teh bottom of the pot.The bottom of that pot was black and it happened about two weeks ago as well.I hope you will have better luck next time with that soup
