"Burn something to a crisp/ cinder" = làm cháy thành than, cháy khô đét. 

Ví dụ 
This creates a very warm and cozy atmosphere (bầu không khí ấm áp, ấm cúng). Everything is cute, to the point where even watching a dragon burn a guy to a crisp was kind of a pleasant visual (hình ảnh dễ chịu). 

Salander's antisocial behaviors (hành vi chống xã hội) include tossing (ném) a Molotov cocktail at her murderous (sát thủ) Russian spy father and watching him burn to a crisp in the front seat of his Mercedes. 

You’ve got a mound of mushy vegetables (đống rau nhũn) sticking to a deteriorating wok (chảo hỏng) on one burner, chicken burning to a crisp in a frying pan on another, all while your pot of polenta (nồi cháo ngô) bubbles over onto the stove, scorching you with (làm bạn bỏng) scalding corn grit shrapnel (mẩu ngô nghiền nóng).
