A No, No, MyLot And Cooking (just doesn't mix) !

cooking is da bestest but when you are on mylot you lose track of time and you ssmell smoke and you see everything on fire APPLW

I can't say that I have burned any food while mylotting but almost burned a pot the other night. I had made chicken and dumplings and some stuck on the bottom of my big pot so I put water and a little bit of dish soap in it and put it on the stove to loosen it up. Well, my husband and I were in the living room watching TV plus I was on my laptop and our son was in his room. Don't ask me why but my husband and I at the same time said "uh oh" and he jumped up and went to the kitchen. The pot still had some water in it but not much.

i am not so fond of cooking but sometimes i keep milk on the gas to boil and try to mylot during the time it boils...it usually overflows ,by the time i come back. happy mylotting.

Yeah, been there done that - doesn't work when making toast in the toaster oven either! or frying sausage!

I can't do much of anything while mylotting. Except take care of my kids. If I have to do something for myself, it gets put on the back burner to mylot usually. Im addicted.

.... if you are mylotting , so just do it , and you cook sth , yoo , it's unsafe you know alright ! maybe you can get nothing .... do not always think about the food , just one thing and you can do it better , because your mind can only on thing , do not do like that , you can do that after lotting, or watch TV , to choose some lazy things to do and with your cakes , your cakes can be very wonderful and your lotting never lose ``

sorry to hear that, but is it possible for you to set the timer, slightly ahead of the baking time[I love to learn baking -that is why I am asking htis]

once or twice, not necessarily just mylot but the computer in general, or i have gotten so busy doing crafty stuff that i have forgotten to eat! i guess i am pretty focused on the task at hand. is that a bad thing? i guess sometimes it is :-)

i was once like that twice but i didn't burn my food. i set an alarm in my celfon. i don't want to lose things, not now. LOL. just be cautious and careful..and vigilant too.

I burnt food once while being on mylot. I completely forgot about it until the smoke alarm went off. I ran out and realized that I left my fries in the oven, and they were black, pitch black, no saving them. Uuuhh...oh well i just made some new ones. Hopefully the next batch of cookies turns out for you.

Hi Chevee, He he he, yes I have done that, I put the chops in the ovenand while it was cooking I just sat down to do a bit of mylot, then I started smell the chops, when to check, OMG burnt to cinders, I had to get onother lot out and start again, when my hubby came downstaires, he asked if I burnt the food I said no, it was just the oil dear, lol he didn't know I did burn his dinner. Hugs. Tamara.

Hey chevee! Yes I sure have! I have tried to cook while mylotting and have also burned my food! It is just too distracting! I have done it more than once! So I have learned to stay away from the computer when I am cooking! I have been able to bake while I am mylotting as long as I keep telling myself that there is something in the oven! I am not that far away from the oven! It is about 1 1/2 feet away from me! I should be able to realize by the warmth and the smell that there is something baking! So there is no excuse for me to burn anymore cakes!

That is so funny. While sitting here reading your discussion I realized I had some eggs boiling on the stove that I forgot about LOL. Thanks for the reminder LOL I have done the same thing as you before. I don't remember what it was but I do remember burning something. Have a good lotting day - and don't burn down the house LOL LOL

i have experienced this before. i'm mylotting while frying chicken for our dinner, i didn't notice that i stayed long in front of the computer and smell something burning in the kitchen. then i went back to the kitchen there's smoke everywhere, i immediately turn off the stove and the chicken turned black all over. after that incident i never do mylotting and cooking all at the same time. warning it's dangerous.

I didn't do mylotting and cooking at the same time. As my computer is usually at upstairs, whereas my kitchen is downstairs, I don't think I'll be fast or comfortable enough to run up and down. Also, I usually turn on the gas cooker to cook, so it's really unsafe if I'm not around in the kitchen.

yea, I have done that a couple of times. oops. mylot and cooking, probably not a good idea. lol.

Yes, I have burned things before. That is why I always set a timer and set it next to me at the computer now. That way I can't burn things. I try to get up about a minute before the timer goes off if it is something like cookies that can burn quickly after the right amount of time.

i burnt the easiest food to make... top ramen i put it on to have it boil and the noodles were in there... i realized i smelt something weird. i had forgot about the noodles and all the water had boiled out and was just frying those noodles lol now i ether stay or use a timer lol
