Have you ever let any food burn?

This was several years ago and it was really a silly mistake. I was feeling a bit down and felt like I had a virus coming. However hubby should have something to eat. So I put on a pot of stew or something just to heat up so that I could lay down while waiting. I fell asleep and hubby was resting and watching a video. When I got up he didn't know I had but anything on. I had totally forgotten and remarked that the neighbors must really be cooking up a storm. by the time we got downstairs the stew was completely burned to the pot. It happens to the best of us. So now if I am not feeling well hubby gets something to eat by himself.

I burned rice once. I though I had turned it off and the heat was still on and the rice burned.

Since computing became part of my life, I often burn potatos. I smell them when the water is consumed

Yes there may occassions but not intentionally . But if it serve to others really the unpleasant would happen

I have burned popcorn in the microwave many times by accident and throw the bag out.Sometimes I burn food on purpose like cheese on pizza because it tastes good burned a little.I can tell the cheese is burned by the color.

Yes even I have had had the experience of milk boiling on the stove and me forgetting that I had placed the same. It has also happened once or twice of having something which is cooked for heating and forgetting about the same till one gets the smell and comes to know what happened. But after these few experiences I make it a point to be in the kitchen if something is on the stove and not get involved in other works when cooking. Thanks for reminding me some past instances.

I am famous for spilling milk on the gas while I am busy mylotting

I burned a cookbook once... does that count??

I have mostly burnt food when I've got too engrossed in a book. I stopped reading for years because of this - and because I was busy with a young family.

Of course yes. I had our food burned because i forgot about it. I am watching news on TV when that happened.

When I learn cooked I always burn my food But it never happen anymore

Yes, I have done it few times and it's very painful experience because so many things got wasted.

Yes, a few times. I set my android to remind me with my alarm.

Oh yes, I've had this experience a handful of times. Some of the foods that I burnt the most are pancakes, toast, melted chocolate, and cookies. Sometimes, it's hard to tell if something is fully cooked. For example, when I made pancakes a few times, they got a bit burnt. That's because the middle would still not be fully cooked. Constantly flipping them over and over to make sure they were fully cooked was the biggest factor.

I have burnt a few things. Usually because I have forgotten that I've had something cooking, but sometimes because I put something in the oven and thought it needed longer than it did.

i have during my 69 yrs. a few times about every 5 plus yrs. once then. but we have one, Clay, here that does it at least once every couple months. reason we don't remove the fire alarm. lol

I've burned my chicken soup to ashes.....and if burned my hard boiled eggs. Long story.....there might be a lift hearts post here. I'll have to think about how much mortification I can deal with.
