Cookbooks vs me

So im just now realizing cooking is not easy as i thought it was. So instead of triggering the smoke alarm yet again in the building, im going to mom hopefully she have pity on me. Im tired of takeouts

funny..... and no.... I'm not laughing at your dilemma....and I hope you mom does take pity on you....I'll give you a few tips if you want.... chicken.... it's hard to mess that up... you can put some skinned breasts in a baking dish, cut a couple onions , a little butter for flavor,salt and pepper, cover with foil and cook till not pink. And boil in the bag rice.... George Foreman grill is awesome too for grilled anything.... we are doing grilled cheese sandwiches, veggies, bacon, boned and skinned chicken breast, steak....just plug it in...and put what ever on...close the lid...and watch it so it does not burn....bingo...your a cook

How do you know when the meat is fully cooked

[fauxartist in reply to Hidden]

with chicken,... it will turn white all the way through.... no pink... Do you have a microwave?.... if your ever not sure... you can always pop it in for a couple of mins. too.

[Hidden in reply to fauxartist]

Okay so no pink. Pink means uncooked im going to give this another try

[fauxartist in reply to Hidden]

happy cooking.... a bit of lemon juice is nice too.....

I have an optigrill. It makes grilling so easy. It beeps when the meet is done.

Any chance i can get one on Amazon cause that sound safer

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Lol hope she have pity before you burn the whole place

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Lol she took pity, im pretty sure my neighbors get anxious when they see me carrying groceries

[fauxartist in reply to Hidden]

sorry....that made me laugh....that was funny...it reminded me of my room-mate in college who never even turned on a stove....so she put all 4 gas knobs on ....not a self starting gas range....and stood across the kitchen throwing matches at it to light it.....

[Hidden in reply to fauxartist]

Haha most of us should have learned at least the basics before college. By the wayim going to try cooking come chicken like you told me to today. I will hide the groceries in my school bag

Their are ways to get around the smoke detector going off. Take a bag and cover it. Just remember to uncover it when you are done cooking.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I will do it today since im going to try cooking again
