Have you ever burned something...?

It's fairly rare for me to burn something, I usually am able to pay attention but I fell asleep while I was cooking pasta once and the smoke set off the fire alarm. That woke me up =P

oh sure, I think it happens to everyone. Just this morning I was fixing my daughter breakfast. And my toaster waffle got a little more done than I would like. I don't think I'd be able to eat the rice with the smoky smell. While I hate to waste food, it would be trashed.

I have done this before trying to do something else while cooking. If I come to the computer while cooking I forget that I have started something on the stove sometimes and it gets burnt. I have learned that when I cook bacon I just need to stay in the kitchen and pay attention, if not I will surely burn it as I have many times in the past.

I have burnt boiling water I was boiling water, and forgot that I was boiling it. All of the water evaporated out of the pan, and the pan started burning. I did not smell anything, I guess because there was nothing in the pot. The pot burned so bad and became so hot that the handle was warped. I guess that is where "I can't even boil water" comes from

oh yes. but, not while i was posting at myLot, haha. well, there is a product called "Smoke" that comes in a bottle. you could have pretended this was a new way to season. i think it's for grilling? or, making your food taste like it was? i think it's pretty ironic that you were actually on here posting under cooking when this all happened !

I am a burning princess,everytime i cook rice or something i burned it, i remember how i burn our expensive pot and it takes a week for me to clean it and so bad it needs redemptions, because of it my husband decided to buy me a rice cooker ahhaha he afraid im going to burn another pots.happy myloting!

Have I ever Burnt anything?...Hmmm theres a question I really dont need to answer BUT seeing as I'm here.. ummm... GUILTY! Mrs Teamloud and I invested in a new Barbeque last year.. $800 worth if you please, The family had 2 or 3 bbq's from it until the day the wind came... The day of the "towering inferno" we had prepared a fair amount of meat and spuds etc to cook but the wind was blowing in every which direction possible. Eventually it took to blowing into our porch where the barbeque was "parked" and as the wind got stronger it blew the flame from underneath up over the burners and basically set the whole barbeque on fire! I dont know what the kids were moaning about, I mean, whats a little charcoal in your food?... MORE FLAVOUR!I SAY! well.. they still disagree to this day with me, but rest assured good reader I WILL return, the day of the BBQ assassin is not yet over! I can still not understand why today I still have the direct dial number for our local fire service loaded on my cellphone? Hehehe when it comes to barbeques..Smoky the Bear Loves me! hahahahaha

Quite some time ago I burned a cake. I mean it was so bad it was charcoal black. There was nothing to salvage of the cake. I had fallen asleep on the coach and my husband and son had come back from Kentucky and when they walked in the house the house was full of smoke. When my husband opened up the oven smoke was pouring out. When he pulled the cake out it wasn't a cake but a big round piece of charcoal. That was a long time ago and I haven't done it since.

[i]Hi pinky, Yea..I have tried this..I was warming something in the microwave and leave it then tried to go back ironing clothes, I was hooked with what I am doing and didn't realize that instead of pressing 2 minutes, I accidentally pressed 20 something like that, good thing hubby was able to smell the kitchen and save us...Gosh, I was scared a lot![/i]

I have experience burning rice because i was busy watching my favorite movie while cooking. Luckily i realize in time before all the rice become burned. from that day I will make sure I am not cooking when ever I want to watch movie I like.

I have burned rice till it was a black cakey thing glued to the bottom of the pot. I did the same thing other times with other things. I now have to remember to watch the pot incase things burn. My latest burn scene is bread. I toast bread in a pan and sometimes, too often, it turns black. What a scene !

Yes , and it was actually stupid because I was in a hurry to have lunch cooked as I have to work at 1PM. I turned on the rice cooker, yes rice cooker, and hurriedly headed to the shower. Halfway through showering I smelled something burning and couldn't think of the source as I was indeed using a rice cooker. The smell did not go away. When I finished, I went to the kitchen and saw that the rice burned because I forgot to put water! Needless to say I was not able to eat lunch at home that day.

I just burned the noodles once warming it up. I kept it on the fire to get warm so that I could have it for my dinner and then sat on the PC. Once I'm on the PC I tend to forget everything else. After a while I could get some burning smell and then It struck me oh damn!!! the stoves on. I ran and put it off but the noodles were burnt by then. I had to order food from out then and have. But to my bad luck all the restaurants had closed by then and I had to have biscuits and go to sleep. I was starving at night Lolzzz.. Next day morn I got up and had a heavy breakfast.

i burn things a lot!!!

The worst thing that I have ever burned was homemade chicken and noodles. I had spent the better part of the day making them and left them on the fire for just a few minutes. They were in a big metal stock pot. All the noodles were burnt on the bottom. It smelled absolutly awful. I had to throw them all out.

Yes I have burned dinner before I will forget something is on the stove and the pot will boil dry and then the food will burn. It is really easy to burn cooked carrots when you are boiling carrots in water you have to keep adding water as it seems to evaporate and I have forgot to check them before and they boiled dry and burned the carrots.

Yeah from time to time. I actually slightly burnt some garlic bread last night. I had it on the grill and the top of it got slightly burnt. It tasted pretty good though. I dont think anybody minded. It was really pretty tasty. I would not repeat it however. I do love my garlic bread. I burn popcorn from time to time also.

Yes ones I was making omlet and it got burnt. It was a few years ago.... but I still remember it.lol Thanks Ganesh

I burn things alot! Especially when my boyfriend comes over and he's trying to talk to me (when he says something shocking to where i have to stop what I'm doing and lecture him) lol. I try cooking too many things at once...like tacos I have to cook the meat and the rice, and frejoles (beans), and make the torillas. So I need to learn to either ask for help or do a little less but in more time instead of doing more in less time lol.

I quite often forget my cooking stuff when I am in front of computer. I usually burn meat :) Once, when I was pouring hot water out of the kettle while watching a funny movie, I burnt my hand, instead of pouring the water into the glass. It was horrible, ubrearable pain. Now, I am much more careful when I use hot water. However, I still forget about my cooking when I am busy with computer :)
