Why did my Tapioca pudding burn on the bottom? (15)
ooby_doobyAshland, Virginia USA957 Threads 29 Polls 7,670 PostsI used a stainless steel pot (mistake?)
Not only did it burn, it tasted so bad my chickens almost wouldn't eat it. I didn't have enough milk so I mixed up a batch of powdered milk. Was this what caused it to burn and taste like crap?

There might be a couple reasons. Tapioca has a lot of sugar in it. If the heat was too high, that was most likely one of the reasons.
Probably the biggest reason is you didn't continually stir and stir and stir it to keep it from settling on the bottom of the pan. With all pudding, you have to keep stirring it so it doesn't burn.

Exactly! Just what I was going to say, Monte.ooby, if at first you don't succeed...
Try. Try again!

I did stir it constantly and as you know it must come to a full rolling boil or it wont work. I'm going to get some real milk and use a club aluminum pot next time. Maybe I need to stick to rice pudding.

An aluminum pot would be the worse thing you could do. Buy a Calaphon pot that's coated with teflon. I have their pans and they are wonderful. You'll need to buy a spoon that is usable in teflon coated pans otherwise you will scratch the coating.

The club pot should do the trick!
I love mine, for puddings and rice!
For everything else, I use stainless.

Hope it comes out to your satisfaction this time ooby!

Now ooby,dont you listen to these women,they are not logical.
Next time you do one,put it in the pot upside down,and then the top will burn,giving it that golden look.
ffffft, nothing to this cooking lark

A) Try making your tapioca in a double boiler next time and see if that prevents it from burning. It works for chocolate.
B) I'm a vegetarian, so don't pick on the vegans.

I believe you are on to something here. Your tapioca solution will get first prize in my book. No doubt you are the master of the artful technique of the perfect Introductory Tapioca Making 101 course. I just love a man that can cook.....as long as they clean up after themselves in the kitchen. Ffffft, nothing to this cooking lark...that I'll agree. I burn tapioca everytime. thumbsup:

Well, I was just on the verge of doing some chocolate melting so the double boiler was on my mind. BTW, you can make one with two nesting pans.

In response to: Why did my Tapioca pudding burn on the bottom?
Because the flame is under the bottom of the pan.
Next time try turning the pan over when it's halfway done.

the double boiler is what I was going to say - my mom made all puddings & sauces in a double boiler or ceramic coated cast iron pot -same here. When I was cooking for a large family I used cast iron and ceramic coated cast iron for nearly everything
but he seems to have found his own majic!
