Thread: Learning to cook

  1. #1

    Default Learning to cook

    I have zero cooking ability. I eat out a lot and microwave a lot of crap. I want to learn to cook, but the task seems daunting to me.

    Any suggestions?

    The stove has burners on top. The oven is the one with a door.

    just start trying to cook stuff. Seriously, cooking is like anything else, if you practice you'll get better. Find a cookbook that looks good to you and just try to cook some stuff from it. Also, if you have a community college near you take a class, it's also a cool place to meet chicks.

    Yeah, just find a recipe for your favorite dish and try it. You will find things about it you like and things you don't like and you can adjust it the second time around.

    Just experiment and try different things (not sexually, but with your food).

    If the food tastes shitty, add bacon.

    I wouldn't bother. You pretty much suck at everything.

    I think I'm a pretty good Bengals fan and I'm not a bad writer. You cut me deep, Mo.

    Let's start easy, King. Get two pieces of bread and piece of cheese. Place skillet on burner. Turn burner knob to medium heat. Put butter on one side of one of the pieces of bread and place the bread butter-side down in the skillet. Place cheese on bread in skillet. Butter one side of other piece of bread, place on top of cheese, butter side up.

    Let cook for a few minutes, then flip til golden brown on both sides.

    You're welcome.

    Just try it. Take a big risk, and try something that seems outlandish, but something you really like to eat.

    Odds are you will make something delicious. If not, keep trying. I was scared to really cook for a long time, and finally took the plunge trying out some recipes from the Internet that looked really good, but were initially daunting. The results have been fantastic, but you can't do it if you don't try.

    King, I find cooking to be relaxing and theraputic. That's why I'm such a swell and easy going guy.

    consider that if you take up cooking, you may end up like me.

    ignore all this great advice and encoragement you are getting and just continue to eat out and depend on the professionals.

    while you are eating try to avoid thinking,
    'shit, zam may have made this"


    not that you will listen to anything I say, but i reccomend you start by reading a few simple internet recipes on how to cook a whole chicken.
    I woiuld even post a method for you, but I have no doubt you would resent it !
    but something as simple as cooking a whole chicken properly can be very gratifying.


    first question is what cooking aparatus do you posess?
    pans, kmives, cutting board, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, the basics.
