lesson 1: How to learn cooking from the beginning to professionalism如何学习烹饪

in #food7 years ago

Cooking can be an intimidating task. Whether you are single and on your own, or you are a teenager preparing to move out, cooking is an invaluable skill to have. Cooking at home can not only save your wallet from spending on fast food and take out, but it can also make a difference in your waistline, as home-cooked meals are typically healthier and more filling than fast food or otherwise processed food. To begin cooking on your own, you need to get a few simple supplies, master the basics, and practice consistently.

 Secure cooking utensils. Cooking utensils range from high-end, fancy cookware, to simple items, such as wooden spoons. To start, you do not need to go all-out and purchase hundreds of dollars’ worth of items. Instead, get the basics, such as a whisk, stirring spoons, a metal spatula, and a scraping spatula.[1]

 Get basic pots and pans. A quick walk down a grocery store aisle will reveal a plethora of pots, pans, and gadgets designed to make cooking easier. Ignore all of this, and start with the basics, including a stock pot, a saucepan, and a griddle. These three items will take care of most of your cooking needs.[2]

 
Purchase measuring cups and utensils. Recipes require precise measurements, so measuring cups and utensils are an absolute must. You only need one of each, as you can wash as you cook, but make sure you have a full set of cup measurements (¼-1), as well as a full set of measuring spoons. For ease, you should also get a glass measuring bowl that goes up to at least two cups.

  • Some recipes require cooking utensils to be aluminum-free. When choosing measuring cups and spoons, opt for ones made of either a high-quality plastic or stainless steel
  • You can change these basics to suit your needs. If you plan to make small amounts of food, for instance, you can probably get by with a single pan that has high walls, rather than a separate stock pot.
