give it to the hubby as is…tell him u were multi-tasking the cooking , cleaning, laundry, ironing, mopping, dusting etc - all for him to come home a beautiful home.

the man better enjoy it.

I am so tempted to go for this but I know CB will keel me for not taking it seriously

Ok so many of you said milk and changing the pot. I don’t know how to choose one since more than one person recommended it

So I guess I’ll go for something that is different..

Like what ever has gotten burned , just take about 3-4 large potatoes , wash them and without peeling them just cut them in large quarter pieces and place them in the pot , cover and continue to cook the dish on very very low heat … let that be for a good 5-8 minutes , then remove lid and taste the dish a bit , if the smell has reduced and you need to further reduce it , let the potatoes in for a few more minutes …dont forget to keep the lid tightly on the pot.

Apparently potatoes absorb the burnt smell

Another trick I just got from a friend :

When somethng like kheer burns, then take it off the flame very carefully and take of the first few layers into a separate pot .. and leave the burnt part behind … make sure you havnt stirred it at all … then add saffron and more almonds to the taken out kheer and the smell will reduce considerably …

If the soups and stews get burnt , just add one or two teaspoon peanut butter and watch the burning smell disappear

Since CB answered both of my questions and gave different options, I guess CB you get to be the winner and ask the next question. But I also liked what Sehrysh suggested for the Kheer, so I guess Sehrysh should be at the 2nd place. CB, if you don’t want to ask a question then Sehrysh is next in place otherwise just shoot

@Sehrysh

I don’t know how to get rid of the burnt smell/taste. But to your comment on burnt kheer, to avoid kheer burning/sticking to the pot, coat the pot with some butter - this prevents it from sticking to pot (this is in addition to the butter you add to the milk while cooking it).

While you still have to stir it constantly while cooking/reducing the milk down, the butter significantly reduces the milk boiling and burning into the pot.

@TLK

me better be the winner
