If you burn something at the bottom of the pan, the entire dish tastes burnt, 20 years of experience in cooking, There is no salvaging that, you can easily smell it😆
I am expert in burning food..😎. There has not been a week where I haven't burned something while cooking.. especially things made of rice
But I do make my husband eat the upper portions if there is time constraints..🙊🤪..he says its OK.. so maybe some are ok..🤪..when it's sabji which gets burnt he says he likes it that way..😕..
