The caramel slice I just made is going to taste like crap.

How do I know? Well, it might be because the base got spread everywhere and is all uneven, courtesy the too-large pan. It could possibly be because, in the process of annihilating the smaller blue and white pot*, the caramel got all lumpy and burn-y. But I'll go with the fact that I used olive oil with the chocolate mix instead of, something, oh, I don't know, BLANDER.

I can't even cook something OUT OF THE FREAKING PACKET. I belong in a special facility. No, not for the deafblind. One where ovens do not exist.

*The larger blue and white pot fell prey to my cooking attempts not long after Matt and I met. Those pots had it in for me from day one.

I think the usual solution to that problem would be a double boiler, which no one actually has, so putting your saucepan into a larger saucepan with a couple inches of water ends up being the practical answer.
