Nothing can save burnt soup or rice Sad

I know from experience. I saved the burnt soup bits, but after I added water to make up for what I lost, it was watery Sad

If someone brings you an icky cake/cookies or you make one that flops, save to use as a crust. I break into crumbs in my food processor then press into the pan with a smidge of oil to get it to stick together. You wouldn't recognize it!

I don't know how burnt you're talking about, but if you left your rice on too long, and the bottom of the pot is burnt, you can take the pot and stick it into cold water for a minute or so, and then scoop out the good rice from the top. This helps in 2 ways: 1. it doesn't leave a burnt taste 2. it makes is SO much easier to wash that pot.
