I have a propane cook stove, for some reason there is always soot on the bottom of the pots and pans. The flame appears to be normal looking (blue with yellow tips). Is this just something that happens with propane or is there another problem?
By the way, we just managed to burn spaghetti to the bottom of a stainless steel pan. The spaghetti was UNDER WATER. I know this should be posted to some cooking group, but I find this puzzling. How the heck can it burn underwater? Yeah, no one really seems to be able to cook in this house, but we manage the best we can and there's always fast food nearby in case of emergency, or we want something with taste and no burnt or raw particles....
