I forget when I am cooking something

When I cook, I usually set it on low fire. Then I'll do something else and get back at it when I'm done. But I do tend to forget about that totally when I do something. Because I'll find lots of things I need to do very important that can't wait. I'll be very focused on it that I won't be able to get back to cooking. Just like now, i get back the food is burnt though not badly. I was still able to scrape the burnt easily and washed it off easily. Then I started cooking it again, this time I made sure to watch over it. I just realize that I'm not very forgetful. It's just that I'm too busy. I've realized if I need to do something important that I should not cook at all and leave it cooking while attending to something else. Like i needed to make important phone call to a company. that i keep waiting for an answer and lots of time needed to listen patiently to their answering machine. Till i lost to what I'm doing. And with all the important notes I need to ask by the phone.

Don't you have an alarm clock for the kitchen? The one in the photo is the kind I have. But there are innumerable others. They don't cost much.

Oh never thought of that. But that is not something commonly done cause I don't know anyone of doing that. Maybe for restaurants and fastfood restaurants they do. But I'll try to look it up online. Or just use my phone alarm instead

@hotsummer What does it matter if it is commonly done or not? Have you got amazon in your country? I ordered the clock online from there. I'm sure that when you have it and show it to your friends, everyone will want to have one like it.

@MALUSE yes there's online shopping i buy on locally not Amazon. Yes it's cheap and i saw many have it. So maybe a lot of people here do use it or familiar with it

I have the same problem. I have too much to do. I can’t do anything else when I am cooking or I forget about the food and burn it.

I think you should be more careful one day you will find a burnt offering in your pot
