I don’t know if anyone here has been through this… but I eat a lot of fast food because I have a fear of using anything to cook, if it’s for me to make something like bread and butter, that’s fine, it’s just a fork that I need, but when it comes to using a furnace or those kind of things, I just have a fear I might mess up somehow and start a fire or something… I know it sounds stupid but it’s a nightmare I have in my head for some reason =/, I thought I’d try getting over it so I could cook my own meals and get more healthy but thar’s a barrier stopping me… can anyone who has been through this give me any advice on it?
Get a fire extinguisher. Keep it in your kitchen in a designated spot.
Start small. Learn to make ramen, mac and cheese, eggs.
Get practice before you start leaving the stove unattended. Have timers. Activate the hood fan. Learn to keep an eye on things. Don’t start other activities you can’t drop in a moment (like an online game) while cooking.
When you finish something, turn it off BEFORE taking it off/out. Double check.
Oh boy, please tell me you’re referring to just simply instant ramen.
It takes me 2 days of cooking to make a proper ramen with the stock, tare, noodles, and toppings.
That rabbit hole goes waaaaaay down.
I’m talking about instant, like Maruchan
