I've been watching a lot of cooking videos to help to master some basic skills. It's the simple skills & tips along with the right tools that make cooking in college a little easier. My kitchen at school has limited supplies, but we do have a good set of knives like the ones Giada describes in this video. The kitchen basics that I always use are:
- the 3 knives shown in the video (pairing, utility & serrated)
- a cutting board (one for chicken & one for everything else)
- a baking sheet
- a small frying pan
- a medium pot
- a metal colander (which I use to both steam on the stove & drain in the stink)
- tongs
- spatula (I have recently realized that a rubber spatula is MUCH better to use when making eggs)
I always make sure to drain in the stink too :P j/k had to bust your balls a little! Love you!..ps. I better be a taste tester!
ReplyDeleteI love blogs! Check out this one 101cookbooks.com
ReplyDeleteMaris and I have made a few things from that website although it's pretty much all vegetarian.
Alyssa! What a great idea. When I was at Marist I cooked for the French Professor - Brother Belanger. My cooking partner left Marist and went to the Culinary Institute right up the block! We love your blog and will be avid followers!
