My cooking experience

Hello fellow steemians! Today I will share with you my experience in cooking my own meal. Yeah that is right cooking! I am not really good at cooking but I know only how to fry. Maybe this will be my start of blogging about cooking from a perspective of someone that now how to cook LOL. In the years of living alone I have really had the taken effort to cook as there is a small canteen near my place where I can buy food it is faster and less expense although sometimes I get disappointed with the quality of food they serve. Nevertheless the food was sufficient enough.

However my circumstance has changed the new place that I am staying in has no canteen nearby and due to health concerns I think I need to learn how to cook. It nice to see that fellow steemian friends are always blogging about their tasty dishes that I will try to do myself. Today I will try to cook myself some “Pork Liempo.” I bought the “Pork liempo” from Puregold a local grocery chain in the Philippine. It was already marinated and ready to cook. It was a recipe for BBQ , I had no BBQ grill so I just fried it.

There was nothing else really to do with the meat but to fry them. I just put some oil in the Pan and when it was hot I put the meat on the Pan and cook it. The most exciting part of my cooking experience is the first pork liempo that I put it. Immediately after putting in the meat oil began splattering all over the cooking are. I am afraid of hot oil, who isn’t so I move back away from the Pan and let it settle down. Later I learned from the internet that the splattering was cause watering evaporating due to the intense heat of the oil when the water vapors escapes from the oil It creates the splattering. So there is the first lesson I learned: HOT OIL + WATER is bad LOL.Next time I cook I will make sure that the food that I am cooking will have less water as it may cause injury to me due to burns from the hot Oil.

The second lesson I learned is cooking needs your undivided attention. I am a multitasking kind of person. If you can see only see my laptop You can see that I am doing several things at the same time. curating in Steemit, mentoring, processing payout request, trading, researching and reading steemit blogs. While cooking I do multitasking also. I was looking at trades and chatting using my laptop while cooking. BAD IDEA. First it I almost burned my food and second I think that was the reason why I had to fix my laptop’s keyboard as some of the oil sipped inside the contacts of its keys . Therefore when cooking your undivided attention should be given.

Here is the result of my frying expedition LOL it looks a bit burned but I think the blackened part are just burnt sugar. That is it for now steemians and I hope you enjoy my post. Stay awesome everyone!
