Senility at its finest

Oh no..but you can still eat them I hope. Yes, recently forgot I was boiling some eggs

It happened to me and it was because of my cat. I had set the timer, but I was helping him who went out in the rain and was all wet. The bread stayed a few minutes longer that it should, but it was not burnt.

Something similar, I put my ingredients into a pot of chicken broth and turned the knob on my burner to high and went back to the PC to do some keypunching. When I went to check on the progress of my soup about 15 minutes later I noticed I hadn't plugged that damn thing in.

I once ruined a pan of Toll House cookies this way.

It happened a few times

Yes, I've burnt saucepans before

Happens often to hubby when he cooks, even on top of the stove. Our oven tends to run hot, so I turn it down a bit and cook a bit shorter time.

Oh yes, I have definitely done that before.

I forgot to set a timer when I was boiling eggs two different times... I heard them exploding and had a big cleanup chore after that.

I almost caught something in a frying pan on fire, so I promised Dale I would never myLot while I'm cooking. Glad your rolls didn't burn.

Oh yes, I am guilty of forgetting to set the timer at times. But like you I catch it before it is completely ruined.

I'm a worrywart; so things like that don't normally happen to me. I check and recheck things all the time. Have a good day. I'm sure your rolls were yummy.

I tend to be forgetful, so such a thing happens to me at times.

I am good at remembering to set a timer for any baked goods. I usually just set my phone and put it in my pocket. That way if I go into another room and don't hear the timer, I hear the phone timer. I'm glad they didn't burn to a crisp, Snowy!

I always set the timer but once my husband burned chicken strips and bread. He forgot to set the oven.

I've discovered with my apartment that there is NO WAY I can over cook or burn anything. Even not setting the timer doesn't make a difference. I tried to do some stir fry a couple of nights ago and spent most of the time fanning the smoke detector. One little hint of smoke and it's yelling its freaking head off. I finally had to open all the windows so that there was a constant breeze coming through the apartment. I had constant knocking at my door, neighbors checking to see if I was trying to burn the apartment building down. So much for cooking from scratch, I guess I get to stick to TV dinners. I did do a batch of brownies and managed to beat the smoke detector by a few seconds. I got the brownies out of the oven, turned off the oven and closed it up and then the smoke detector went off. I do sometimes go to heat up my tea water in the microwave and will punch the 2-minute button and then realize that I didn't put the cup of water in the oven...or I'll go to make a cup of coffee and set up everything and forget to add the water to the coffee maker. Since it's just me and the two cats I don't cook much anymore...so I don't worry about setting timers. Although I may use them when I make yeast rolls later next week.
