First time cooking

When you cook for the first time and ur food turns out to be perfect…

  • are you motivated to cook more?

  • Do you feel satisfied with your cooking?

  • Do you feel happy?

  • and how long does it take to cook quicker?

I didnt cook for the first time but cooked after a long break of one year …made Pizza for the very first time and it turned out yummy :alhamd: and now I feel like I want to cook everyday :yahoo: till the day food turns out “not so yummy” :bummer:
But im still kinda slow in the kitchen :bummer: which annoys ammi so any tips on being quicker in the kitchen would be appreciated :smiley:

Re: First time cooking

LP … you will automatically gain speed in cooking with time … the more you cook the more experience you get and hence learn to focus more or less on stuff accordingly … for example , when i was new in the kitchen , I used to keep watching the onion while frying them for fear that i will burn them or they will stick to the pan ! … but now with time , I do all the other stuff in the kitchen while the onions are being done !

Here are a few tips :

  • Its the preparation and the after cleaning that takes most time , rather then the cooking itself … So chop the onion and start the cooking process immediately … and try to chop the rest of the vegies or clean the meat , or do the bartan when the onion is frying… its more like multitasking …

  • Keep washing the bartan saat saat so they dont clog the sink …

then there are short cuts like when you chop the onions to make masala , they take longer … but if you blend them coarsely they take no more then 10-15 minutes to get done … similarly , if you add cubed tomatoes to the salan , they take longer to mix in well .. but if you blend then first and then add then in the salan … they will take five minutes to mix in with the salan …

If my cooking turns out rubbish, i can get quite frustrated but at the same time it pushes me to try again.
Similarly, if i cook well, it can also be a motivator for cooking more :slight_smile:
