Either way, when confronted with burnt food, your first step should always be to take the pot off the heat and your second, to quickly survey the situation and decide the way forward. If the meal looks like it can be saved, give thanks then embark on that worthy mission immediately. If you don’t know how to go about it, well, here are four ways to get rid of the burnt taste from your food: Change the Pot: Are you aware that the burnt odour you’re perceiving might not necessarily be from the food but from the pot? Oh yes, the burnt pot may have most of the fresh food on top, the charred portion underneath and a burnt odour which would get stronger if you continue cooking with that pot. If you simply scoop out food from the burnt pot into a clean one, you’ll be shocked by the world of difference that it’ll make. Just make sure that you don’t scrape anything from the old pot into the new one so that you don’t transfer the burnt taste.

Put the White Bread on It: This is tried and true with rice. So, if you burn it, just put a piece of white bread on it. It’ll absorb the burnt flavour. Go for the Potato Fix: You may not have heard of this before but it works. Potatoes are naturally able to absorb flavours and smells. But if your meal already has potatoes, then, nwanne, all I can tell you is eh yah, sorry oh? If you’re still wondering what I mean by that, I’ll tell you. Pour the food away. But if your meal doesn’t have potatoes, then, take some raw ones, peel them and put them in the pot containing the burnt food. Let the food simmer for at least thirty minutes. Take them out for they would have absorbed the burnt flavour from your food. Lest I forget, you don’t have to eat the potatoes if you don’t want to.
