When it comes to cooking our favorite dishes, we all have our own special way of doing things.

So when Reddit user u/ThymeandGarlic asked, "Is there a food you intentionally cook 'wrong'?" foodies from all over chimed in with their responses.

From purposefully burning things to adding even more than the recipe calls for, here are the most memorable responses to the thread. Take a look:

1."I much prefer burnt popcorn."

2."I was drunk one night making tacos and halfway through realized we had no tortillas...so I changed it to sloppy Joes, but already had put in the taco seasoning. We liked it so much that we make 'taco Joes' as a regular thing now."

5."I like my pasta overdone. Like not mushy but definitely past al dente."

13."I prefer risotto overcooked. I like the extra-mushiness, almost like mashed potato instead of individual rice grains."

15."I intentionally overcook pizza until the cheese gets crispy."

16."I drain the water out of my ramen and eat it like a pasta rather than a soup. My girlfriend makes fun of me for my 'dry ramen,' but I can't eat it any other way."

17."I like my scrambled eggs overcooked too. I like a little browning on the egg pieces."

18."Honestly? I like my chicken a little dry. Obviously not hard to swallow dry, but I don’t enjoy a really juicy chicken breast, tenderloin, etc."

19."I don't cook my SpaghettiOs. I eat them cold, straight out of the can."
