Why I do the cooking!

Post by Roboframer »

Made myself a bacon sarney at work today - I like it juuuuust crispy around the edges. The lovely smell filled the workshop as it's on a higher level than the rest of the shop.

A short while later I noticed the smell was getting stronger, much stronger, ah, Mrs R must have had the same idea, but she likes it sooooooo crispy she may as well go buy a bag of pork scratchings! In fact she likes everything done 'well' - none of your "until the juices run clear" bollocks, more "until there ARE no juices"!

Then I realised there's a smell of burning paper mixed in and a smoky haze. Went to the kitchen, smoke getting thicker, the microwave (combi) door was open and so was the kitchen window, and this was on the draining board...

The combi oven, regardless of how it's being used, grill only in this case, won't work unless the timer is set. So how long had she set it for, I asked.

TWENTY
FIVE
MINUTES!!!

"Well I was going to check after five minutes or so but it got busy"!

Ah, bless - and the paper plate? under a grill? - Really?

The one on the left looks not too bad :roll:
Think you should stick it in a frame from Mrs. R's Christmas.

As the tv chefs say, 'It's not burnt, it's caramelised'! :Slap:
