Learning how to Cook , despite the lack of materials ( i am still living with my parents , Mom has only basic cooking mats) preparing for the sweet lone life ahead of me :)

It ain’t much but it’s honest work

Learning to cook is one skill you never regret learning.

Buy a stone and learn to sharpen a knife(I'd recommend a diamond plate, 400 and 1000 grit). Keep at it until the edge is clean and sharp.

Then learn to cook onions and garlic without burning them.

Then play around with recipes. Some people like baking, some people like grilling, etc...

Those peppers are looking good though.

It's really good to see you cooking buddy :)

I used to use a service called SimplyCook that would send paste pots and seasoning over to you in the post.

It was on you to buy the remaining fresh ingredients from the supermarket, which wasn't a problem since they were always generic goods.

Its good to do for a little while because:

You begin to have a broader understanding of the cooking process. Prep -> Simmer onions and harder spices -> Cook meat -> throw in veg -> cook carbs in parallel -> serve
You expand your horizon and learn to cook dishes from different cultures. Interestingly, they mostly had the same cooking process

This will arm you with a more fundamental understanding of cooking and then you'll be able to experiment. Before you know it, you'll have planned a Malaysian Laksha for your Tuesday. and a Korean Bokkeumbap for Friday ;)

I HATE cooking. So props to you seriously!

I did Hello Fresh for a while. I’m doing everything from scratch now, maybe eat out twice a week. It’s actually pretty easy to cook a good meal.

Reminds me- I need to use my wok more often. Do a pretty good orange beef stir fry

Cooking is the same lesson as give a man a fish/teach a man to fish. Well done!

Crafty-Tackle · 2021-04-24T10:46:23+00:00

Top Ramen makes for very good chow mein, just saying

GlobalAsshat · 2021-04-24T10:31:14+00:00

Plus cooking really isn't all that hard... it just takes a bit of time, but if you can break your screen addiction you'll find you are swimming in time. I made a tator tot casserole after work last night.

PH_Bravstar · 2021-04-24T10:42:14+00:00

If you enjoyed it and are proud of it, that's all that matters.

justadude713 · 2021-04-24T10:01:27+00:00

well, its a start lol. trust me you'll get better with time as long as you WANT to do better. thats not much better than me a long time ago too :)

omen_tenebris · 2021-04-24T13:17:19+00:00

The reason i don't cook personally is that it's a lot of time to make, and minutes to eat.
Also where I live, buying ready meals is cheap. 32cm good pizza? yep 3.5 usd. Döner? even less.

reaper555 · 2021-04-27T01:18:05+00:00

I can't for the life of me cook but I got the Foreman Grill makes life so much easier. Salmon, Chicken, Steak all grilled toss some spice and your set.

MGTOW_and_Bitcoin · 2021-04-24T04:00:37+00:00

Wow if you don't like living alone don't do it mgtow is not for everyone.... and to be honest this sounds a bit more like you're still in recovery from the blue pill or you're in the bargaining phase of denial
