Boiled a stainless steel pot dry, safe to eat food from the episode?
I steamed some broccoli and asparagus and let it boil dry. Is it safe to eat the food?
Thanks!
Best Answer
The broccoli and asparagus should be safe to eat. That being said they may not taste the best or have a good texture depending on how long they left. If you forget about them and leave them in the steamer the texture and flavor will be off. If you just didn't add enough water to the steamer and "steamed" them for the appropriate amount of time they probably will be o.k. flavor and texture wise. I'm assuming that they were covered the whole time while being "dry steamed".

Is it safe to use a pot that has been boiled dry?
I burn stainless pots regularly and pretty much don't worry about them unless they impart a burnt taste to the food and hopefully even then they are safe. I've found they best way to get the burn off is to apply a wet coat of baking soda to the inside of the pan and leave it there for a couple of days.How do you clean a stainless steel saucepan that has boiled dry?
