Have you ever tried a recipe that turned out to go horribly wrong, or maybe the end product, despite being good, just wasn’t worth the effort? What was that recipe, and what about it made you say “NEVER AGAIN”?
I ask this as I am actively trying to remove the stench of onions from my Instapot lid’s silicone ring after making French Onion Soup in it (so far steaming it with white vinegar on the steam setting, soaking the ring in a water/baking soda bath overnight, and baking it at 250 degrees F for 20 minutes have all done nothing, so I ordered a new one, I give up). And I realized that cutting all the onions and waiting hours for them to caramelize and now this damn smell issue just isn’t worth it. Plus I still have frozen soup in the freezer because I can only eat French Onion soup so many days in a row.
NEVER AGAIN.
More of a cooking technique than a recipe. I wanted to make a stir fry more substantial so I added flour to it. Strongly recommend against ever doing this.
Corn starch slurry, dawg
What happened when you added flour?
Flour is a common ingredient for thickening stews etc. Not OP, but if I had to guess I’d wager that the flour soaked up all the moisture in the pan, then dried out and started to burn.
Best way to describe the resulting texture is “slimy”, it’s pretty gross
Oof, yeah that doesn’t sound appealing. I was going to guess burnt like the other comment but slimy is worse.
