Who can burn vegetables when steaming them? Just managed to boil the water away and burn the saucepan and hence the french beans when I was steaming them ---- And I was watching them too!!!!

I should check with "Kitty" she seems to be the "Expert" in such matters.**M**:o))))>

No Ann ,,

My specials are the spuds,,,,,,they often end up getting scorched,,,and stuck to the bottom of saucepan,,,,,,,,,

Susan the advertising expert to the rescue!.....I now use those induction pans......you can leave them boiling/cooking....forget about them.....and they still don't burn any food or the pans....they do steamers too......good on induction hobs too.......

I came home from work one day to find the whole house had its own climate - fog! It stunk too. OH had been drinking fell asleep consequently the boiled eggs were well and truely boiled to such an exent there was nothing left in the bottom of the pan but ash.

I had to wash every wall down and every piece of fabric that could be washed. The pan - straight in the bin!

How is still alive I dont know - next time!!!!

Hi Susan719813
I too have an induction hob. They are great BUT have burnt it out twice whilst on Genes !!!!!!
Solution................get the eldest daughter to watch the pans when I am on here and cooking !
Best wishes to all, Joan

Ros, yes it was me. I think it is great, used it a lot since we got it. Also managed eventually to find a slow cooker cookery book.

I can still smell the burnt smell up here in my 'office'.

Susan can you use induction pans on any type of hob?

Joan,Better Idea, Move Computor into the Kitchen.:o))>.**M**>

Yes you can Ann, I will look for the name of the ones I have for you......They are slightly more expensive than ordinary pans but so worth it.

Joan......eldest/youngest or middle daughter......no chance.....twood burn for definite then lol

thanks susan.

I've burnt sprouts before...boy they stink lol.

(Sprinkled soap powder over the pan with a wee drop water will remove the burnt bits )

Still on cookery matters -we replaced our electric hob a few months ago and the rings are rusty already --OH says it`s the salt from the pototoes!!

The pans I use on my induction hob are from IKEA. The 365+ range. They are brill. Always come up clean and never discolour.
Joan

ros, I never use salt!!

The pan was only a little burnt and it is a good pan, it came clean with just a quick brush over with hot water. I probably caught it before it burnt too much. Couldn't eat the beans though they tasted burnt even though they didn't look it. This was an IKEA pan

Oh says cause we use the hob a lot --that`s why it`s rusty --it`s not an ornament !!

If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan....it can be used on an induction hob.....just thought I would add this minute ,and perhaps useless, piece of information :-)))

Ros is that the solid plates you have?

Marion

Emmm, whats is an induction hob?

Marion

yes , Marion. It`s the 2nd one we`ve had like this. I used to have the rings you could remove and scrub but these are fitted in,
