TopicHow often to you burn what you're trying to cook?

I don't think burning something or not is about skill exactly, it's more absent-mindedness or not paying attention. to really burn something you have to forget about it. as a child or teen, that was definitely a common occurrence, but as a supposedly responsible adult I make sure not to do stupid things like that.

and then, depending on how extreme or not "burning" is, some examples that may or may not count could include:
- singeing microwave popcorn? I did that once a few years ago.

- overcooking fried eggs? if you cook the eggs before the hashbrowns, the eggs get cold since it takes so much longer to cook hashbrowns. if you cook the hashbrowns first, the frying pan is too hot for the eggs. but I wouldn't really call that "burnt", they're just a bit rough on the outside

- overcooking chicken? trying to get the exact right cooking time and temperature on my oven, I did get it a bit dry the first time, but only slightly.

- I tried putting olive oil on chicken while it baked once, that was a bad idea, made a lot of smoke. not exactly "burning" though, the chicken was fine.

- sometimes when you make those pasta meal things, if they have milk in it, they can literally go from not boiling to boiling over in like 2 seconds. that sort of does burn when it goes under the burner and makes a mess. haven't done that in a long time though.
