Burnt!

This was what happened when I blog hopped this morning. I burnt the pot of porridge I was cooking!

GOODNESS!

I forgot completely about what I was doing and enjoyed myself blog hopping as there was no work from office today. It didn't occurred to me the pot of porridge was slowly drying until I smelled something burning! I rushed to the kitchen and quickly switched off the gas stove but *gaks* too late. Darn! It was not the porridge I was worried, I was more worried about MY POT! This is the 3rd burnt pot! The last 2 were not so lucky and were unable to be rescued – burnt beyond recognition (even the cover was black)! One pot, I was cooking red beans soup until the beans were cooked until like black coffee beans. Another pot, I was cooking soup until the ingredients were like they were burnt after a fire. Where was I? Both times I was out chatting with my neighbours in their house *blek*.

Immediately my mind thought "if Pappy comes to know dat I burnt the pot becos I was busy BLOG HOPPING ............ die die die". Pappy always use the pot to cook his favourite mee. What and how am I going to explain what happened to the pot? *shhhhhhh*


I quickly poured the porridge into a plastic bag and soaked the pot with water, after which I put the pot onto the stove again and boiled the burnt parts hoping dat the burnt parts will come off but too bad they were were too stubborn.

Scrapping off with a spoon and the parts slowly came off.

I tried scrapping with a spoon and the parts slowly came off! I then scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed with my trusty 'A' scrub bud until the stains ..... wa la ...... the pot was 'lap lap ling' (shiny) again. Phew! Luckily I was able to rescue this pot. See ........

So my frens, now u know why I have so many 'sa pou ang chang' (pots and pans) in the house. Heehee.

Tracy... you very keng leh! You must be cooking with big fire coz normally when i boil soup with the smallest fire, I can let it boil for 2.5 hrs and I don't burn my pots.

No worries, no worries. I always have this habit of checking everything before I go out of the house but dat day was an accident.

Jazz
Waiyo, luckily lor.

Jacss
No joke, no joke, really no joke. U think I'm not scared meh?

Khong family
Corningware wor? *heart pain* Oh dear, blog hopping really gets us into trouble hor?

Rachel
Aiyo, I really used my 'ngau lek' to scrub leh. I don't like to cook my food in slow cooker (not enough of 'foh hau'), dat's why the slow cooker's collecting cobwebs and dust now.

Chanel
The pot was burnt meh? Didn't look like it was burnt hor? (heehee)

Alamak, tagged again? Bagi saya masa okay?

Hui Sia
So clean hor? "Geng' leh? :)

Amah
Aiyo, u don't know leh. I've used so much "Metal Cleaner" from 'A" and my 'bull strength' to scrub and scrub and scrub but worth it.

Angeleyes
No lar, after boiling, I always use low fire but I was too engrossed blog hopping dat I forgot all about it.

Wow so clean and not a scratch, sure you didnt buy a new one? Next time use crock pot with timer...:P

Michelle
No no, of course dat's not a new one. I scrubbed and scrubbed with my left and right hands cos I really have to 'save' dat pot. Seldom use crock pot cos I find dat the taste of the food is not as good as cooked food from the stove.
