re: The Most Common Cooking Mistakes

#10 is my kryptonite when I'm going for stew or a vegetable beef soup. At least those two dishes are more forgiving of not getting the nice brown crust that I try for. I look at all the meat I have to brown and convince myself that I can do it in two batches instead of three.

I'm wrong. Every. Single. Time. And my pot looks exactly like the one in that picture.
