How to Get Rid of a Burnt Taste in Beans
- 1). Turn down the heat on the stove and move the pot to a burner not in use.
- 2). Pour the beans into another pot. Do not touch the beans stuck to the bottom. You want to separate the unburned beans from the scorched beans.
- 3). Return the new pot to a burner on low heat. Taste the beans.
- 4). Add 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar. Stir it into the beans.
- 5). Taste the beans again. If the taste is improving but is still not resolved, add another 1/4 tsp. of apple cider vinegar.
- 6). Add 1 tbsp. of peanut butter. It sounds crazy, but cooks who have tried it, swear by it. Mix the beans thoroughly.
- 7). Taste the beans. Determine whether or not you can salvage them.
- 8). Add an ingredient after cooking to help mask the taste. For example, If you burned black beans, add some cheese or salsa as a garnish on the beans.
