HOW DO i STOP MY CUSTARD BURNING TO THE BOTTOM OF THE POT?

Answer 1

turn your heat down and keep stiring it

Answer 2

Pour the custard base into dishes and set the dishes in a baking pan with sides about the same height as the dishes. Pour water into the pan so the dishes are surrounded by the water - use enough water so it comes up the side of the custard dishes at least an inch.

Carefully put in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes. Turn the oven off and let sit for another 15 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool then refrigerate.

Answer 3

Heat up your milk in one saucepan

Rince a clean second saucepan with water so there is a film of water in it

Make your custard in this saucepan continually stirring it

Thats the professional trick

Answer 4

Answer 5

Turn down the heat.
Stir, stir, stir

If all else fails, cook it using a double boiler.

Answer 6

Put the pot on a medium heat, and keep agitating the mixture from the base, until it bubbles.
Its a good wrist action that should stand you in stead for later in life

Answer 7

Use a double saucepan.

O I see I wasn't the first! If you don't know what a double saucepan/boiler is - it is a pan in which you boil water and a second one that you cook in which fits into the first one. You can use heat deflecting mats (used to be called asbestos mats) - anything to avoid the flame being too fierce.
