    1.5 cups of water for 1 cup of rice


    cover your pan when making eggs


    don't let stuff go bad. you can make something out of anything that's sitting in your fridge or pantry. just google.

    low and slow for omelets (and lots of other things)

    don't be afraid of cooking that takes a long time to prepare and cook, its a lot of fun and doesn't take as much time as you think (yes, it may need to simmer for 2 hours, but you don't need to be stood at the stove the whole time), and at the end you will feel like God

    braising really cheap cuts of meat will save you a lot of money and will still taste fantastic

    learn how to use a wok for day-to-day, learn french for the opposite sex, learn BBQ for summer and manpoints

    Experimentation is fun. Sick of one dish? Add trout to it so it changes it up.

    Trying this next time I make rice, which is the one thing I know how to make. xD (Aside from grilled cheese sandwiches. I make a glorious grilled cheese sandwich.)

    I always did 2 cups of water per 1 cup rice. And speaking of rice, for the love of the gods, if you're making fried rice, RINSE YOUR smurfING RICE! Nothing worse than fried rice goop. One mistake I'll never make again.

    yeah wash rice before you do stuff with it

    noodle strainers work just fine, not as much gets out as you'd think.

    i mean boiling rice for the 1.5 thing though, i dunno what it's like for other stuff. once it's boiling, go down to low heat and cover it but at a tilt. check for holes every now and again; once you're getting them craters cover it all the way (this is optional)

    Sure, if it's just one potato. But what if you're doing something that requires you to peel a dozen potatoes?!
    I want to try that out sometime though, just to peel potatoes without a knife. Although I'll still probably manage to cut myself somehow. I still haven't found a way to explain that incident with the orange x.x
