The idea is not to warm it -- but to caramelize the sugars in the ketchup to create an interesting shift in the taste -- the vinegar becomes a bit more dominant and the sweetness a lot more subtle. Fried ketchup is an art form... if it burns it will be nauseating...

I don't eat ketchup on burgers unless I brush the burgers with ketchup when they're almost done and continue grilling until it's nicely caramelized. It's a whole 'nother taste. 🙂

Will that give it a "flame broiled" taste? I bought some burgers at a local place today and just stood there drooling at their broilers.

I forgot to say that this was on the grill. I'd never use ketchup in that fashion in a frying pan.

Okay, thanks anyway. 🙂 Will it work on an indoor grill (i.e., George Foreman?, etc.)? I have a feeling it's the flame itself that gives it that special taste.

I'll bet that would work. I'd be perfectly willing to try it on a pan with ridges. Give it a shot. All you've got to lose is a few seconds scraping cooked ketchup off the non-stick grill.

My mom used to spread a layer of ketchup over the meatloaf before she put it in the oven...it turned into a wonderful thickened glaze, not like ketchup at all.
As a matter of fact, I remember she used to make pork chops with a slice of onion and a dollop of ketchup in the electric skillet, and they were wonderful too!

And its not difficult to make at home, cranberry catsup is good and an extra bit of garlic and chili in a basic catsup is very good.--- JL
