What are some tricks to prevent forgetting that you have something

How about not being a fucking idiot, setting a timer, not leaving the room or not being a fucking idiot?

Being in the kitchen while shit is cooking on the stove

But what's the point of setting a timer in the kitchen if I'm in another room watching TV or shitposting?

Set the timer on your phone and take it with you.
Or just take the clock with you, you buttnoodle.

Nah, I think you're doing just fine, OP. Just keep doing what you're doing.

>>8515835
dont you have a laptop computer, a mobile phone, or a wrist watch?

Based on the picture you posted, there is nothing. You just keep doing what you're doing and the sooner you die the better.

Why the fuck would you leave the kitchen if you're cooking anyway unless it's a stew or something and even then you can just set a timer on your phone.

God you're retarded

You have to be quality minded OP, and realize risky behaviors will cost you if you continue to take risks.
NEVER ever leave the stove unattended, that's how. When you do need to leave, like to the bathroom, pull it off the burner and turn if off for a moment.
My kitchen is open to my family room. So I can see the stove from my couch or bar countertop, so if I want to leave the actual stove itself while say rice cooks (which is on simmer),or that I want my stew to simmer 30 minutes, I set a timer (or two), so if I get distracted watching the News. I wouldn't do this for high heat of course or cooking with oil.
Give yourself something to do while you cook. Prep your lunch for the day before, prepare a salad, wash your veggies in the fridge, organize a cupboard, drink wine, brew up some sweet tea for a pitcher, make a grocery list, prepare tomorrow's dinner at the same time, uhh, do the dishes, mop, something. I might take my laptop to the kichen, sit at the counter and read email. Timer of course!
It goes without saying you should have a fire extinguisher if you continue your risky behavior, and a good smoke alarm. But, don't be dumb. My smoke can kill my parrot, so I don't do shit I know is stupid like putting a nonstick pan onto the burner before I'm actually ready for it. I'm not going to burn the oil that goes in there. Mise en place!
