SC - tip for when you burn the soup....

[Nisha Martin]

Just a tip for when you burn a soup or something semi
liquid. First of all, DONT STIR IT!!! Just turn off
the burner and let it sit for a few minutes. If its
only mildly scorched, then the good stuff will
seperate, and you pour that part off into another pot.
The same if it's pretty burnt. The gross stuff will
stick to the bottom and you can just pour off the
unburned portion into another pot. If you haven't 
stirred it, the charcoal tasting part sticks to the
bottom of the pan. If you do stir it, this doesn't
work. But I've used this with chowders, beans, split
pea soup, and a few rice dishes. I saw it on a cooking
show and have had occasion to use it at home but most
often when cooking at camp. You know when you aren't
used to the pans or burners that youre using? that's
when I usually burn things.

I also want to say that I burnt the pes soup so badly,
we had to start
again...almost burnt the risotto, and all the cakes
blew the filling 
out the
sides so that they were very flat...yet all worked in
the end due to
experienced friends in the kitchen.
