How did you find that specific guide? I had the same thing happen last week when I burned a batch of garlic. I stepped back for three breaths by the walk in, just counting them slow. It cleared the panic enough to start the next order right. That tiny pause keeps a simple mistake from wrecking the whole night.
Burning garlic is such a mood killer, lmao. Taking three breaths by the walk in sounds way more civilized than my panic dance. I guess we all have our ways to avoid a total meltdown.
My last batch of garlic looked like charcoal briquettes, so maybe I need to try @anna395's walk-in panic dance instead of just swearing at the smoke alarm.
