I left red beans on the stove and I even went out and left Mick in charge - without telling him. I think my sense of smell had gone out the window along with my memory of what I was cooking. Red beans gone... All the water had evaporated and the beans went weird and black.
Then on Sunday, the boys went out and I later found out that they went to Yarra Valley Dairy to get me cheese. We now have a bucketload of cheese.... but no crackers. ROFL.. this is a disaster.
So what do I do when they go out? I start my beef casserole in my Le Faux Creuset.. aka Aldi Crofton brand dutch oven thingee. Cat from Twitter, you are right these things heat up really well and would have been great for stir fries. I moved the saucepan to the medium flame stovetop and had cranked that up high. I told myself I will let it boil first and then reduce it. .... I never did..

Yuck! I hate those bits of burnt food in the drain, makes me wanna vom.
ReplyDeleteI am bad - my ex used to leave tupperware in his bag with leftover food, and it would go mouldy. And I would then throw the whole thing out...
Oh vom vom. Burnt Bits in drain ... so gross right now.
DeleteMore vom for mouldy food in tupperware. I know what you mean, sometimes you would rather throw it out and deal with dead food!
OH how annoying! How much are those pans? Looks like you may have to replace!
ReplyDeleteThey are faux Creuset from Aldi. LOL So $20 I think?? OMG they just had this on special buy last week!
DeleteWhat did you soak it in?
ReplyDeleteHave you tried all 20 of these?

Soaked in water... Might have to read and research that article! Thanks for the linky.
DeletePut some coke in it and warm it up on the stove and the burnt bits should be easy to scrub away. Apparently according to Kim and Aggie. try it and let me know
ReplyDeleteCoke solves everything?! Omg LOL Ok now to find coke in the house.
DeleteI usually do burnt food with some steel wool, very gently so it just takes off the crust bits without scratching the pan.

PS. Basically deleted my twitter, on account of having no time ever again. Only keeping it for news blogs and rugby. Still reading your blog though!
Thanks Cat - like how I quoted you ;)
DeleteNo probs hope you're going well!
Le Faux Creuset! You crack me up. No tips for getting rid of that reisdue, I have thrown out kitchen items before because i scrubbed the heck out of them and still no dice...
ReplyDeleteOMG that's really burnt in. LOL I think this one can still be rescued. Just need periodic gentle scrubbing over the course of the following week I think.
