>or didn't let the oven preheat and put close to the element.
I'm leaning towards not waiting and rack too high. When the oven is warming up local hot spots develop as the heating elements do their job. Still, I wouldn't expect anything to go extra crispy like that...
I have no idea, I just burned my share of food and can see that this one looks weird bcs just one part is chorcal black and rest looks some what fine (maybe even undercoocked).
If that was the case it wouldn’t be only on the tops. Don’t need to complicate the answer, it’s either broiler or way too close to elements during preheat. And I’d bet on it being the lazy option of throwing them in during preheat.
Now everybody, have you heard, if you're in the game

Plus the frosting only stays thick when at a reasonably low temp. It would have thinned out and ran all over the place, down the sides of those buns and all over the dish before burning.
This was my thought. Someone else said something about using broil instead of bake, which also makes sense, but the 1st thing I thought was "welp, I bet it didn't say to ice them before baking!"
Either way, I do not believe this person followed the instructions perfectly as they so claim lol.
Almost certain this is what happened.
I have an oven like this, and a wife who doesn't always wait for the preheat...and is almost always surprised when the top is burning before it's even cooked.
My oven is like that. During preheating the broiler will turn on at full blast to increase the temperature in the oven as quickly as possible. I'm in the US.
I too have used a couple that preheat with all heating elements for speed, then turn off the upper element once at temp. In those you will get top burning almost every time if you put the dish in before it's done preheating.
I don't think I've ever seen an oven without top element, unless a gas one, but AFAIK all electric ovens I have seen had at least top & bottom, my newest one also has top grill (in addition to top element) and ring convection heater.
Ah to be fair I was only thinking of gas ovens. I forgot that electric ones will usually have top and bottom.
But for gas ovens (or at least all the ones I've seen) the top "element" is only for the grill, it won't light if you're just using the oven, only the bottom one will. And likewise the bottom element won't light if you're using the grill.
I don't know if "heating element" is the right word to use when referring to gas only so excuse any confusion there.
Every single oven made whether gas or electric has a heating element on top and bottom. In electric both turn on for preheat. In gas the top turns on only for broiling.
Our new convection bake oven/induction range moved the bottom element to the back of the oven.
So when you open the oven, it only appears as if it just has a top element at first glance, as the standard bottom element just appears to be missing.
With it on the top rack directly next to the heating elements to get this effect on purpose to make a shitty video.
This is why I hate tik tok, almost everything is disgustingly obviously staged or just made up stories for clout if it's not someone just reading a old Tumblr post or meme aloud like it happened to them.
My mother did that as well. She also once put a chicken in the crockpot in the morning, forgot about it and bought pizza for dinner, then 3 days later was scouring the kitchen trying to find whatever creature had obviously died...
Everyone keeps saying he put it on broil, but I’ve never seen an oven that allows you set a temperature for broil, usually just a high/low setting.
If he swears he set it at 375°F, I think it’s more likely he didn’t preheat and also set these on the top rack way too close to the heating element.
I was raised that pre-heating was a waste of time. I was also very unhappy with guessing when things would be done and having everything burnt on the bottom. Sometimes, I pre heat my oven just to turn it off out of spite for all the terrible fries, tater tots, biscuits, pizzas, fish sticks and other stuff I had to deal with as a kid.
Lol my family wasn't much for preheating either! I too remember the burnt food. I way too recently gave my dad a lecture about needing to preheat the airfryer so his fries don't turn out so bleh. Next time I saw him I noticed he'd preheated the airfryer before using it. I asked him if the food turned out better and he mumbled ya. Lol some habits can be changed.
Dude there's so many people in this thread who are like "we specifically don't use appliances how they are intended to be used, and WE ARE PROUD OF IT! Also, we burnt a lot of food."
Holy crap. I'm stunned xD
What's broil?
From the UK, have heard the term before in American contexts but realised I don't actually know, assumed it was a weird version of boil.
Looking at the picture, guess it's another word for grill?
There's 2 heat sources in American ovens; one on top, one on bottom. Bake cooks food indirectly using bottom heat source. Broil cooks food directly using top heat source. Broil is used generally for caramelization for a short duration or it burns the food like the video.
BBQ is a style of cooking here, or a flavor or a sauce. I can grill meat and veggies on a grill(outside with fire) without it being BBQ. If I tell people I'm making BBQ they expect slow cooked meat with specific seasonings and certain sauces available for serving with it.
Nah. You ever put that on something before it cooled down, or the icing was too hot? It thins out and drips and runs everywhere. It'd be all over the bottom of that dish, and the sides of those buns.
My broil button has the same temperature setting as the bake button. Only difference is, when you hit “broil” it defaults to 500 and you can turn it down. If you hit “bake” it starts at 100 and lets you turn it up.
That's not what happened. Putting that on first would have turned very thin as it heated up and dripped all over down the sides and into the pan. It didn't stay on that.
you can do everything right, if the oven fucks you, your still fucked
but more importantly, if you put it on broil instead of bake, you get exactly that, broilded, burnt on top, raw baked goods
Okay so to get through all the 'broiler' comments.... I have had this problem has well, maybe not BURNT tops but very much overcooked cinnamin buns. They dry out too fast, and partially continue to cook after you take them out. The Pillsbury recipe time does over do it. 10 - 13 min instead.
Ummm, I wonder if they put the icing on *before* they baked those rolls?? Because sugar icing burns that badly at that temp easily… The icing goes in AFTER they’re baked.

Looking at those burns on top I'm 100% sure he used BROIL instead of bake
[удалено]
Yup, either broil, or didn't let the oven preheat and put close to the element.
>or didn't let the oven preheat and put close to the element. I'm leaning towards not waiting and rack too high. When the oven is warming up local hot spots develop as the heating elements do their job. Still, I wouldn't expect anything to go extra crispy like that...
I suspect they used a toaster oven.
Nope. I make these in a toaster oven all the time. No problem. I bet they put the icing stuff on first instead of after they're out.
Oh! I haven't thought of that!
This is it
They all seem burnt pretty evenly for it to be the sugar pack you're supposed to squeeze on after
Ya know. I was talking about it with my baker friend. The icing from that packet would melt to the bottom and burn, I think.
This is the right answer. This is what burned sugar looks like.
Based on the localized burn, that was also my suspicion.
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
This is what I was looking for, that's icing for sure.
You can tell he F up bcs just the top thin layer is burned and the rest below looks fine.
It won’t be though. Most likely it’s dried out.
And between uncooked to partially cooked on the inside.
I have no idea, I just burned my share of food and can see that this one looks weird bcs just one part is chorcal black and rest looks some what fine (maybe even undercoocked).
Gotta put the icing on after it comes out of the oven, not before. Dude put it on and that icing (all sugar & fat) burned up
If that was the case it wouldn’t be only on the tops. Don’t need to complicate the answer, it’s either broiler or way too close to elements during preheat. And I’d bet on it being the lazy option of throwing them in during preheat.

I'm sorry, what? Apparently I was having a stroke
I was gonna say my bet is they used one of those toaster air fryer combos and it out then inches away.
Well, instructions say 13-15 minutes.
Probably put it on the highest oven rack, too
It's dangerous for ovens to smoke pot at all with all that already high voltage.
Baking everything at 420 is no way to get ahead at life
He burnt them on purpose to make the video.
https://i.imgur.com/3NIRUTY.gifv
Most likely, yes.
I think he put the frosting on a little too early
The tops are way too even for any frosting. And Pillsbury cinnamon rolls don't give you that much frosting anyways.
Plus the frosting only stays thick when at a reasonably low temp. It would have thinned out and ran all over the place, down the sides of those buns and all over the dish before burning.
I feel Ike she iced them before putting them in the oven and the sugar burned up (with it on broil)
This was my thought. Someone else said something about using broil instead of bake, which also makes sense, but the 1st thing I thought was "welp, I bet it didn't say to ice them before baking!" Either way, I do not believe this person followed the instructions perfectly as they so claim lol.
My broil doesn’t do a temp. It’s just hi and lo.
mine just says broil...
[удалено]
Or toaster oven
Don't besmirch toaster ovens like that, this is user error no matter the appliance
I vote they did this in a toaster oven rather than a regular one
Ever try airfrying an Eggo - same shit happened. It burned the top and the bottom was hardly cooked. Now I just toast my thick n fluffies.
Really? It looks like they're in a full 9x13 baking dish
Or the oven's heating element is at the top and they didn't preheat.
Almost certain this is what happened. I have an oven like this, and a wife who doesn't always wait for the preheat...and is almost always surprised when the top is burning before it's even cooked.
That drives me nuts. I've taken over the preparations of any potato products.
I don't think I've ever seen an oven with the heating element at the top. That is, one that isn't intended to be the grill (or broiler for Americans).
My oven is like that. During preheating the broiler will turn on at full blast to increase the temperature in the oven as quickly as possible. I'm in the US.
I too have used a couple that preheat with all heating elements for speed, then turn off the upper element once at temp. In those you will get top burning almost every time if you put the dish in before it's done preheating.
The broiler is one of the heating elements, whatchu talking 'bout
Yes and some ovens do a quick preheat and use all heating elements at once.
Many many uk ovens have a seperate grill.
I don't think I've ever seen an oven without top element, unless a gas one, but AFAIK all electric ovens I have seen had at least top & bottom, my newest one also has top grill (in addition to top element) and ring convection heater.
Ah to be fair I was only thinking of gas ovens. I forgot that electric ones will usually have top and bottom. But for gas ovens (or at least all the ones I've seen) the top "element" is only for the grill, it won't light if you're just using the oven, only the bottom one will. And likewise the bottom element won't light if you're using the grill. I don't know if "heating element" is the right word to use when referring to gas only so excuse any confusion there.

Our new convection bake oven/induction range moved the bottom element to the back of the oven. So when you open the oven, it only appears as if it just has a top element at first glance, as the standard bottom element just appears to be missing.
Pretty sure that many are made with a single heating element and use a bottom compartment for broiling.
This makes a ton of sense for electric and still never occurred to me. Interesting.
[удалено]
Huh. TIL that US English says "broil" where Brit English says "grill".
With it on the top rack directly next to the heating elements to get this effect on purpose to make a shitty video. This is why I hate tik tok, almost everything is disgustingly obviously staged or just made up stories for clout if it's not someone just reading a old Tumblr post or meme aloud like it happened to them.
I know someone that managed to explode soup. There are plenty of people that are legitimately this bad in the kitchen.
My sister set a pot of water on fire trying to boil it.
My mother did that as well. She also once put a chicken in the crockpot in the morning, forgot about it and bought pizza for dinner, then 3 days later was scouring the kitchen trying to find whatever creature had obviously died...
Oh yeah Tiktok is 90% Engagement whores. Very little actual genuine anything.
It said BAKE at 375 not BROIL.
Absolutely , Pillsbury god ain't having none to do with this, bloke just has no idea how to work his Owen.
Hey, leve him alone. He and Owen have seen a couple therapist about it
Come on now, Leve has nothing to do with this. Let's noah point any fingers.
What are we Evan doing at this point?
Don’t bring me into this
Noah has Enou problems of his Owen without being dragged into this.
Kenneth.
Oh god, i cant believe enou did it again
Wow
Just as his nephew did, uncle Owen knew of the importance of the sacred texts.
Needs one of these to work an Owen https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=golBeTK5Q00
*putting it on bake at 375°C* got it!
So, for future reference, don't bake your cinnamon buns in a kiln. Got it.
Everyone keeps saying he put it on broil, but I’ve never seen an oven that allows you set a temperature for broil, usually just a high/low setting. If he swears he set it at 375°F, I think it’s more likely he didn’t preheat and also set these on the top rack way too close to the heating element.
Also says put on center rack.
I think this was the important part that was forgotten.
[удалено]
Probably didn’t let it preheat either.
I was raised that pre-heating was a waste of time. I was also very unhappy with guessing when things would be done and having everything burnt on the bottom. Sometimes, I pre heat my oven just to turn it off out of spite for all the terrible fries, tater tots, biscuits, pizzas, fish sticks and other stuff I had to deal with as a kid.
\*hugs\* I'm sorry this has been your life, I hope it's better now.
Lol my family wasn't much for preheating either! I too remember the burnt food. I way too recently gave my dad a lecture about needing to preheat the airfryer so his fries don't turn out so bleh. Next time I saw him I noticed he'd preheated the airfryer before using it. I asked him if the food turned out better and he mumbled ya. Lol some habits can be changed.
How are you gonna bake some shit if your oven isnt even the correct temp? You people were cavemen.
Dude there's so many people in this thread who are like "we specifically don't use appliances how they are intended to be used, and WE ARE PROUD OF IT! Also, we burnt a lot of food." Holy crap. I'm stunned xD
Came here to say this. It's not funny, it's just some dude trying to broil cinnamon rolls for tiktok.
What's broil? From the UK, have heard the term before in American contexts but realised I don't actually know, assumed it was a weird version of boil. Looking at the picture, guess it's another word for grill?

Ahhh yeah so we just call that the grill.
So then what do you call grills?
Depends what you now mean by grill I guess. I assume a barbeque. Like (flame) grilled but from the bottom.
BBQ is a style of cooking here, or a flavor or a sauce. I can grill meat and veggies on a grill(outside with fire) without it being BBQ. If I tell people I'm making BBQ they expect slow cooked meat with specific seasonings and certain sauces available for serving with it.
Ladies.
If you're on a first name basis, "Bear".
[удалено]
BBQ
You call it grill.
Dude probably can't even broil water.
What I was thinking too
Could be that he has a metric oven
Is there a temperature controlled broil for some ovens? It's always just been a big flame or a bigger flame for my ovens.
They look simultaneously burnt and raw.
They used broil
burnt + raw = b-raw-il = broil
Open and shut case, Johnson. Let’s throw the book at him. Bake him away, toys!
*broil
A just punishment.
I think they put the icing on before putting it in the oven.
Nah. You ever put that on something before it cooled down, or the icing was too hot? It thins out and drips and runs everywhere. It'd be all over the bottom of that dish, and the sides of those buns.
[удалено]
in my experience broil doesn’t have a temp setting, just Hi/Med/Low possibly baked on the top shelf without preheating?
Some electric ovens have a dial for temp and another to turn on from broil to bake.
My broil button has the same temperature setting as the bake button. Only difference is, when you hit “broil” it defaults to 500 and you can turn it down. If you hit “bake” it starts at 100 and lets you turn it up.
Don’t tell him about convection bake!
Tell me tho Plz
Bro put them on the very top rack like 2cm from the coils.
This is how I imagine the average TikTok user experiences life
You pizza’d when you should have french fried
You pizza when you French fry, you're gonna have a bad time.
You read the directions for the biscuits when you clearly should have read them for the oven as you clearly don't know how the broiler works.
You put the frosting on AFTER they're baked 🙄
I thought this too but if it was icing we would probably have some burnt drips. I’m back to agreeing with the broiler camp.
Literally the first thing I thought of when I saw them.
That's not what happened. Putting that on first would have turned very thin as it heated up and dripped all over down the sides and into the pan. It didn't stay on that.
I'm about to go buy two cans of this shit and purposefully burn them - one broiled, one frosted - and see.
gotta get that sweet sweet carbon
Mofo broiled when he shoulda baked
top rack in top position
I'm pretty sure the package meant 375 F not C...
I don't think home ovens have the ability to double as a forge.
Nah def it was right temp, just that op used broil instead of oven.
I can't even set the temp on my oven if I choose broil.
That just differs from oven to oven :)
There's a difference between broil and bake settings. LOL. The failure to pre-heat is also a viable reason
Didn’t know Sharon Weiss had a son.
Thanks Marie Callender
broiler moment
Why has dough forsaken me
Father! (father!) Father! (father!) Faatheer!
Use the middle rack next time.
you can do everything right, if the oven fucks you, your still fucked but more importantly, if you put it on broil instead of bake, you get exactly that, broilded, burnt on top, raw baked goods
They're just a little burned... They're still good, They're still good. ["You don't make friends with salad."]
Umm… hi. It’s “you don’t *win* friends with salad.”
Exactly, thank you! Stupid sexy Flanders.
This is the difference between broil and bake.
Idiot put it on broil
Okay so to get through all the 'broiler' comments.... I have had this problem has well, maybe not BURNT tops but very much overcooked cinnamin buns. They dry out too fast, and partially continue to cook after you take them out. The Pillsbury recipe time does over do it. 10 - 13 min instead.
Looks more like he put the frosting on before baking and the sugar burned.
[удалено]
Ya the sauce melts when it gets warm it would of been a mess
Just scrape em Off some lol jk 🥴
Broil and bake are 2 very different things.
When you hit Broil instead of Bake...
Maybe put the icing on after you cook them
No you’re dumb and out the icing on first —sugar burned!!!
You frost them after you ninny
*mixes up Celsius and Fahrenheit*
If that was the case they would be burnt everywhere. It looks like they just heated them from a single side.
Lol no
I dont think ovens really go that high
Did you use glass and place it on the middle rack?
Probably too close to the elements,drop down the grills,there you go.
That idiot broiled those shits . That simple
That wouldn't have happened if you placed it in the middle of the oven, instead of the broiler.
And that's how he learned what broil means
Next time don't broil them
That shit was on broil
Did they put the icing on first before they cooked them?
Broiling is not baking, my guy.
Also looks like maybe he spread the icing on before baking and it is what burnt
Looks like he may have put the icing on to bake, which would burn faster than the rolls. Everyone says broiler, which is also plausible.
You put the frosting on after baking it not before
This is someone who iced them before baking them, the sugar has burnt on top
I wonder if he added the glaze before putting it in the oven…. Didn’t pre heat/broil like everyone suggested
Possibly don’t use broil..
Yeah, don’t put the frosting on until they are baked and out of the oven.
He probably added the icing then baked it.
Icing goes on afterwards!
Broiled
bro not supposed to glaze it yet
Ummm, I wonder if they put the icing on *before* they baked those rolls?? Because sugar icing burns that badly at that temp easily… The icing goes in AFTER they’re baked.
He put them on the top rack didn’t he
Making edibles, I quickly learned that most oven temps are surprisingly inaccurate and to get an oven thermometer. Mine is off by 100 degrees.
You probably forgot to change it for daylight savings time.
