The line between caramelized genius and smoke alarm, decided in three regrettable seconds.
means Charred, scorched, or damaged by fire or heat — the past tense and past participle of 'burn.'
from From Old English 'bærnan' (to set on fire) and 'beornan' (to be on fire), which Old English kept usefully separate. The word traces back to Proto-Germanic 'brennan' — a cousin of German 'brennen' and the same root that gives us 'brand' and 'brimstone.' English later split into two forms, 'burnt' and 'burned,' the former clinging on chiefly as an adjective before a noun (burnt toast) while 'burned' took over much of the verb work, especially in American usage.
