Did you do that on purpose or was this an accidental DIY colander? I have a feeling it's the latter. Was the burned plastic hard to get off the burner? Did it smell horrible-- like burning plastic has that chemically smell? Was the popcorn worth it anyway?
ReplyDeleteOh this was definitely accidental. It didn't actually smell that bad either. I didn't even realize that I'd burned the bowl until I picked it up and all the popcorn salt started streaming out of the bottom of the bowl. I was totally confused for a second. Cooking is hard :)
DeleteYou are so awesome.
ReplyDeleteI try but I'm pretty sure I'm way more awesome when I'm with you!
DeleteAs you can see, the colander offers far superior drainage and aeration. I have deliberately chosen a large colander and tiny bonsai pot to give the bonsai pot an advantage. If both were of the same size, colander's victory is guaranteed. It would not even be a contest. The size extremes also highlight how much more aeration and drainage happens in a large colander than even a tiny bonsai pot !
