Am i the only person that always forgets what time i put something in the oven?!


Question: Am i the only person that always forgets what time i put something in the oven!?
i never remember, even if i check the time when i put it in i get distracted and forget!. even setting oven timers, they never go off when the thing is done properly even if i go by a recipe so i think "ill just leave it a few more minutes" then i get distracted and im back at square one!.
it seems i cook something for as long as i remember its in there!.!.!.!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Yes I understand I set the timer and go to the sewing room and presto there goes that smoke dector again!. Maybe I should set the smoke dector instead of the timer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you can get a cook timer at the grocery store that's what i have and i carry it around with me while im cooking something i take the timer with me!. i forget sometimes too you may be like add but just remember to carry around that timer with you and if that doesn't work stay in the kitchen and do the dishes or something in the kitchen and keep checking the oven so you won't forget!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I usually cook from scratch, and don't forget as I time it to be ready for when I want it!. The few occasions I put something ready made in the oven to 'save time' are the times the food gets burnt to a cinder and I have to start all over again or do without !Www@FoodAQ@Com

ahhh! as mine! we seem to have the same problem unfortunately :( well, now i just wait outside the cooker if its under 10 minutes and just look at the wall clock, but for longer things i use my phone!. maybe staying in the kitchen will help you not get distracted!.!.!. and if all else fails the fire alarm will let you know eventually!.!.!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Bamma say that how it start!. Bamma say timer no work!. Bamma say lose keys!. Bamma say where the kid!. Bamma say presenile!. Bamma say dementia!. Bamma say no drink soda out of can!. Bamma say leading cause of burnt food!. Bamma not a medical doctor in many country!. Bamma otta know!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Your not alone!.
I can never do those chores right, last week I had a dish washing disaster!.
I buy cakes fro birthdays out of my pocket money instead of making them cause I would over bake it! And I always put cold water in instead of hot water when hand washing the dishes!Www@FoodAQ@Com

You are not alone!. I do this!. Even professional chefs use rows of kitchen timers to keep track of everything!. IKEA used to do a really 'dinky' little mechanical timer in various colours for just 99p each!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

My husband does this all the time!. Whenever I ask if the food is ready I get an "Oh Yeah"!. I love the guy!. Brilliant graphic Artist!. Media mastermind!. But can't remember what he is or is not holding to save his life!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

im the same, what i do is put the oven on to warm up or pre heat and then about half hour later, realise that i was supposed to put something in it!!! total waste of energyWww@FoodAQ@Com

Don't worry !.!.!. EVERYONE does it!. I "lol-ed" when I saw this question!. Especially the part when you leave it in for just a few more minutes!. :-) 'Blackened' brownies, anyone!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I do this all the time and have just done it now!. I always have to think what i was watching on TV when i put it in so i can get some sort of indication!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
