Can this Dish be Saved?
That all depends. Chances are it can, as long as it's not burned. For example: If a cake appears to be "overdone", place the "cooled" cake on a cutting board and trim the edges, the top, and the bottom if necessary. Now all you have is a beautiful cake. Another example is if you're mixing ingredients in a bowl and it's either too dry or too wet, just add more of what ingredients are needed (already listed in the recipe) to give it the consistency you desire, i.e., more flour, more water, more milk an extra egg or more oats. Be creative.
Also, pans can be deceiving. Try using a different pan if the mixture is too much or too little. Temperatures can also be tricky. Use your best judgement. Check on your dish periodically; see how it's doing and make the necessary assessments. Also, covering with foil while baking will eliminate burning. The worst thing that can happen is maybe you created something new that you didn't expect, which turned into something special. Stay open-minded is key to saving a dish.
