He was trying to make "English" toffee without a candy thermometer,
without constantly stirring it and with the heat too high. So he burned
some sugar. Big whup.

It doesn't take power tools to clean that pot. Just a soak in very hot
soapy water. He's just whining for attention again.

Funny how he loves everything electric yet he can't make toffee in a pot
on an electric stove. Heck, I grew up with nothing but electric stoves.
I've used them to make different types of candy many times in my life.
Nary a problem with scorched or burned sugar in a pan. Ever.

Or maybe he just wandered off somplace and forgot about what was on the
stove. So it burned. Now he's trying to impress us with the fact he
owns power tools. LOL
