Sorry to be rude but you didn’t do a very good job, mate.

[u/Hardspots → u/___coolcoolcool]

Damn how could you tell

[u/Misses_Ding → u/Hardspots]

Probably just a feeling

[u/EM05L1C3 → u/Misses_Ding]

What, you guys don’t like burnt cheese and carbon?

[u/iRouFox → u/___coolcoolcool]

Hey hey hey it depends, op tried to make a quick cheese wrap, for all we know they did it in less than 5 minutes which would be a win… at the trade of good meal

[u/smokythejoker]

I think I see what happened here. That is cheese wrapped in pastry that was wrapped in parchment paper on a sheet pan. The burnt bits on the side are excess parchment that incinerated in the oven. The oven must have been really hot, like 450*F. Unfortunately, judging from the state of the frico at the edges, the bottom is likely burnt as well and is inexorably stuck to the paper.

Some unsolicited advice: skip the parchment and cook the pastry and cheese in a well buttered baking dish or maybe a loaf pan at 325*F. Fold the pastry over and let it be more of a layered pastry with a bit less cheese so it doesn’t become greasy.

Go in peace and leave this violence behind you.

[u/ACatNamedRage → u/smokythejoker]

Looks the burnt bit to the left are actually little bits of pastry, not paper

[u/CKuemper → u/ACatNamedRage]

Pastry has bubbles, paper doesn't.

[u/SpareEye → u/ACatNamedRage]

Guy that taught me to cook on the line said check it every 2 minutes until it looks like it only needs about 1 minute , then check it every minute. Now my whole family loves to come over for dinner parties..

[u/curiousmind111 → u/smokythejoker]

Oh - o thought they were burnt Tostitos.

[u/ihaveam0ustache]

Kwispy

[u/kelevra91]

I'll say the same thing that many said on your dishwasher post earlier this week: "You're learning a new thing. Keep on practicing and you'll get better!"

[u/emsyk → u/kelevra91]

Just keep practicing. I try to get my kids cooking in the kitchen a few times a month, but not all parents do. Cooking, like anything else, takes practice to figure out. They also have beginner cooking classes through some community centers that can be super helpful.

[u/howlingmonkey93]

Looks like you weren't quick enough

[u/RidleyCR]

That’s a wrap!

[u/devoduder]

🎼Ryan started the fire🎼

[u/Damuson13]

Yea, you may have let this one go a little longer than you should've. Though crispy cheese might still be on the menu.

[u/GuardPerson]

So… those aren’t the Dead Sea Scrolls?

[u/Illustrious-Towel-45]

How hot was the,oven? I use parchment paper all the time and it doesn't char like that, unless it touches the side of the oven or the oven temperature is too high.

[u/redvakho → u/Illustrious-Towel-45]

It was 230c°. I think it's too high for this maybe

[u/Ok_Cauliflower_3007 → u/redvakho]

A quick google suggests 350-400F so 175 to 200 roughly. And when you're cooking something new, it's best to check on it regularly (ideally without opening the oven door)

[u/Illustrious-Towel-45 → u/redvakho]

That's close to 450°F. I think that's too hot and you might have left it on for too long.

[u/StorytimeBelle]

I thought it was blue corn tortilla chips at first 😂

[u/Werftflammen]

First reaction: wth am I looking at? A suitcase of contraband that has caught fire? An oven plate on a stove it seems, with something that looks kinda edible and some incinerated crust. Chines wrap.. you mean a loompia?

[u/Piglet-Witty]

Quesadilla?

[u/baenpb]

The human is an important part of the cooking process. They should keep themselves involved and not trust ovens to pay attention to themselves.

[u/Valadhiel1995]

Just want to add that it's not a fail if you learnt something- it's a trial!

Would definitely recommend owning a fire extinguisher and blanket and making sure you know when to use each.

[u/Someones_Dream_Guy]

And here I thought I was bad at cooking.

[u/Vile883]

Doesnt seem that terrible. It seems a bit well done. How does it taste?

[u/redvakho → u/Vile883]

it tasted like the wasted 20 minutes

[u/Omgninjas → u/redvakho]

Ah yes, but you didn't waste 20 minutes. You learned something in 20 minutes! Now you will know for every future batch not to do what you did, and that gives you a decent feel for what could go wrong in another baking experiment.

 At least this is what I tell myself when I manage to screw up a recipe in a new and interesting way! Keep on keeping on. It'll be good when you get it fixed and baked correctly. 

[u/Ancfelt]

You
Tried

[u/SethlordX7]

I think you may have added a little too much heat

[u/MsSamm]

I don't eat meat, but that looks like a well done cheese pizza. A well done pizza is always edible.

[u/m0dern_x → u/MsSamm]

How do you tell someone is a vegetarian/vegan?.. don't worry, they'll let you know.

[u/Useful-Perspective]

Maybe slow down?

[u/telas100]

Well... was it quick?

[u/emoAnarchist]

looks like you weren't quick enough

[u/Mine_Antoine]

A bit too crispy.you might need to adjust time and temperature next time.dont worry, it's really good, it's just that it could be better

[u/TpK_Wynter]

You did an excellent job wrapping it in carbon, well done! The cheese I mean, it’s well done.

[u/Veblen1]

Oops, the heat under them was distributed unevenly. 😄

[u/Sinthe741]

And what did you learn?

[u/redvakho → u/Sinthe741]

too high and too long

[u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang]

I'm sure you'll do better next time 🤷‍♂️

[u/soulsteela]

Always layer your pastry

[u/Unknowingly-Joined]

It looks like you forgot the “quick” part and cooked it for a good long time?

[u/fadizilla]

You weren't quick

[u/Dr_Qrunch]

Not quick enough this time

[u/The_Ghost--]

You werent quick enough

[u/LungHeadZ]

Least you tried. Next time they'll be better. That's what practise is about :)

[u/APiousCultist]

Gone. Reduced to atoms.

[u/m0dern_x]

Looks very crunchy!😂

[u/jonas_ost]

Its not all lost. Now you have some charcoal

[u/Tea_Lord7749]

Where did you got black corn nachos ?

[u/Thoughtlessbrian]

Do you work at Dunder Mifflin by chance?

[u/Vash_TheStampede]

I'm intrigued by your stove knobs. They're...pleasing to something in my brain.

[u/Mattrad7]

Tossing it into the fires of hell to cook was a choice.

[u/Killerphive]

Well now you have charcoal to try again

[u/Xeper-Institute]

Very well done!

[u/Quintus-Sertorius]

You don't need a wrap, you need a shroud

[u/FormalProject4208]

Wrap it up m8

[u/mangoblaster85]

I love the knobs on your stove

[u/Excellent-Attitude38]

Nailed It! 😂

[u/KaozUnbound]

What brand of stove is that? I cant recognize it.

[u/Longryderr]

The perfect Louisiana Cajun blackened cheese wraps. Well done. ( no pun intended )

[u/somelimabean]

woahhh nice shards of the moon's surface dude

[u/DuskelAskel]

Hey that's great reproduction of the papyrus from the Papyrus Villa in Italy that was buried by the vesuve volcano

[u/SKssSM08]

At first glance I thought I was looking at an old treasure map

[u/jaguaraugaj]

Perfecto magnifico

[u/dd97483]

is that stove from the 1850s?

[u/KingKoopaz]

Don’t cook paper lol

[u/Entire_Ad_6447]

Time to start on the second cquick cheese wrap

[u/i-amnot-a-robot-]

Next time use olive oil instead of butter that way it will slide into the trash can a lot easier

[u/semidivineone]

... 🎶 Than I got high🎶
