How to use "Overdone" in context?
Whenever I hear someone say that something is "overdone," I instantly cringe. Why? Because, in my opinion, there is nothing more frustrating than food that is overdone. Even worse, it's food that tastes burnt or overdone. It's no wonder that so many of us avoid cooking anything too thoroughly. However, as we all know, overcooked food isn't just unpleasant to eat - it can also be dangerous. So, before we discard overcooked food altogether, let's take a closer look at what makes it so bad.
