ahhh, the answer is simple. it sounds like the problem is with your stove (i see
you refer to it as 'home-burnt', your cooking skills must be about the same as
mine).

if they're showing up as "raw", i think you should put em back in the oven. my
wife has *never* accepted a steak on round one at a restaurant. she always sends
it back for more cooking.

my laptop cd drive was doing that (not a burner), but i took it apart, put it
back together, and it works like magic again.
(really, i didn't use the oven at all).

(maybe i shoulda put the serious part first, i dunno)

hopefully someone can help you, chris ;-)
