When I say I get distracted, I don’t mean that I do something for 2-3 minutes and then come back. I completely forget I was cooking for sometimes long periods of time. Even if I’m still in the kitchen.

Timers dawg, timers, if shits on heat set a timer. At least in the 2-3 minutes you're trying to multi task if it goes off you'll have the chance to be like "what the fuck was that for OH MY GOD MY ONIONS"

That makes sense. I don’t know why I don’t do that already.

It's cause you didn't think about it and you're not in the habit of doing it, but that's what we're here for

Maybe leave a note for yourself reminding you to use timers next time you cook so you get into the habit

I've heard of people setting themselves really short-term alarms, like 2 minutes or such. If you get one of those mechanical kitchen timers, you can set it up real quick and extend it, if you get back to the stove before it goes off.
