Topic	Whats wrong with only eating fast food and processed food?
Cheese_Crackers 08/25/19 4:00:29 PM #39:	knuxnole posted... To those that say cooking is easy: HOW? Can you name ways for someone to LEARN To cook? Also, someone to learn how to 1) Turn on a stove and know how to use it(i dunno if mine even turns on!) 2) what "pre heating" means 3) How to chop things About the chopping, this video's pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-Fg7l7G1zw" data-time=" The key is to have a sharp knife, because you need less force to cut food, making it actually much safer. The grip is also important - it's unintuitive but putting the tip of your finger on the flat of the blade make it easier to control, again making it safer. For this reason a bigger knife is usually better, but if you don't have one, just buy whatever you can afford. And always do the "claw" grip to avoid chopping your fingers - tuck the finger tips behind the knuckle so there's literally no way you'll cut your finger. Don't worry about the speed, just focus on taking the above safety measures. If you're wondering which specific foods you should practice chopping first, go with onions and garlic, as in the video. They're in almost every dish because they pack a lot of flavour, so the biggest time saver is to work on being comfortable chopping them. --- Though the fear of death is a common one, the fear of life is a more rational one. <cite>Cheese_Crackers posted [p:926533950] in Whats wron...
