Well do you want a set of cooking knives for them or fucking not?

sage

>>7345722
Cook's knife. Carving knife. Bread knife. Maybe a paring knife.

That's all you really need. Don't buy them in a set, unless it's just some sort of bundle deal being offered by a quality brand. You usually get better knives for the same price when you buy them separately.

>>7345738
yes. but I see a lot of different sets of knives, with varying styles of knives. some have 4 or 5, some have like 20.
>>7345744
so you just use a few? I'm making them, so price isn't a problem

whatever your mom is in the mood for

>poach eggs
>cut off half of the whites to make it pretty for a picture

I usually do a bowl of fruit (yes, tomato is a fruit), with maybe cottage cheese, or hummus, and a piece of toast with some canned fish, almost always with some avocado.

>>7345525

just depends. mostly on how much time I allow myself in the morning. anything with egg and avocado is pretty based.

>>7345339
I'm guessing you're an uncultured American with no culinary tradition, so tell us about your food. What do you eat in a regular day? Do you have access to fresh produce and meat? Is your kitchen set up for cooking?

desu, skip the recipes.

a meal needs to have 3 things.

you need some carb energy. mashed potatoes.
then you need supplemental protein. chicken.
finally, you need a portion equal to the two previous (read as half of you plate should be this) fiberous plant material. (kale).

you utilize the carbs, power up with the meat and the veggies are used to carry it and provide supplemental nutrients.

from there, its an idea of combining 2 or the 3, and creatively applying it to the third. or a mix with many small portions (think 5 to a plate, maybe more).

what ive been doing a lot recently is making a pot of rice to be used for the next few days. using the rice as a base, you can make a lot fo dishes, either as stir frys that you put on top of the rice, or dishes to be eaten alongside the rice.

kimchi has saved my lfie this past month. its good in that its easy on your body (the cabbage makes it go down well). and it can be supplemented with chicken, steak, other cold veggie dishes, greens, etc.

think less about recipes imo and more about what you have and use. build a base off these core ingredients, and eventually recipes come to you, and you can explore from there.

>>7345376
Do you buy the kimchi?

I do it all the time. Be aware that it heats up & cools down faster than a glass bowl, and doesn't hold any heat really. You can also control the heat by taking it off the steam for a few seconds.

Get a glass bowl? They're not expensive or difficult to find

Cool, sounds good to me. First time making this sauce and wasn't gonna go buy a new bowl just to fuck it up the first couple times.

I actually made a hollandaise in the microwave earlier just for giggles and it tasted pretty good to be honest.

I never have hollandaise either to be honest, but my Mom really would like me to come over and make it for Eggs Benedict for her this Sat morning so I'd like to try a few times.

Moving on and off heat is no problem, I have a gas range and a pot big enough to hold the bowl so everything will move at the same time.

Pastries and good tea.

how motivated are you to actually cook? if you're a pair of mongs there's no point starting a recipe cos you won't finish it t b h

>Any professional tips

get a better job

>deli
>baked potatoes

never heard about baked potatoes being sold at a deli

even distribution of the ingredients is key when it comes to baked potatoes. you don't want to have one incredibly delicious, cheesey, buttery bite followed by another that's just plain potato. also presentation. make it look appetizing

id say maybe cut into the potato multiple times after the initial large cut to try to get the toppings in all the nooks and crannies

melt the butter so you can spread it evenly. salted butter might be the way to go. butter should probably go first, then maybe cheese, sour cream, then green onions

Naw mang, chick makes six figs a year, we have no kids, I do this for fun. I want to get good at a hobby, sorry some poor sap's job is my fun dick around time.

They make a sheet cake and put it on the side. I fucking hate those inedible cakes they make.

>>7345563
It seems like a waste of food...if you wanted a statue decoration alongside a cake, why not just do that?

>>7345559

So many artisan cakes are like this. They're all on presentation, they look nice but the cakes taste like shit. If I'm ordering a goddamn cake I don't want it to be store-bought yellow cake mix with 10lbs of marzipan slapped on, that's fucking horseshit

No one makes their own fucking cakes anymore, it's just artistic masturbation without any purpose

I've been eat sambal oelek since you were a babe in arms, sriracha was a laughable step back for me

>>7345596
that's sweet chili sauce, not sambal

let me know when you reach doubanjing

ratatouille

Hey fuccboi you need energy to live okay?
You need pasta rice and bread with your veggies.
I guess you can get away with a potato omelette or something but you can't eat potato omelette every day.

An infinite variety of vegetable soups.

Stir fries.

Vegetable casseroles.

Omelets/ frittatas.

Stew.

Hot pot is great though. The lovely lamb taste is amazing.

>>7344712

stir fry with vegetables and seasoning of your choice. I'm very fond of beef and broccoli
