My most broadly applicable recommendation is find an economical way to get yourself into convection and induction cooking.

Convection in particular, I haven't deep fried ANYTHING in years. Cooks like microwave, crisps like a fryer.

Convection as in one of your convection oven countertop doohickies? Because I have a convection oven, and it can't replace a deep fryer.

I have both a 'countertop doohicky' [Flavorwave] and my microwave is now a combo unit with convection as well.

About the only thing I can't replicate is stuff that goes in as batter, like funnel cakes and newly dipped Sonic style onion rings.

Finish cooking the pasta in whatever sauce you are using. I think this is a simple tip for new cooks that can really have a big impact on the quality of the finished dish.

Also, sharpen your damn knives. To many place that I'll help cook at have dull knives. Now, if I'm going to a get together where I'll probably be ask to help, I bring a sharpener along. To many close calls.

My advice is if you are using a recipe book, make it how it is written then see if you like it or if it needs more or less of whatever. Now, unless it is a blatant thing that will not work, as I have seen things like adding stuff to such a tiny amount of liquid that you can't stir it and mix it up, then change it right away. It's not alchemy, so don't worry if you put a 1/8 tsp. more pepper in there than the recipe calls for.

This is why I rarely measure anything.

However, for someone with no confidence in the kitchen, having those measuring cups and spoons handy is imperative.

I have a question, when a recipe calls for 1 cup basil and doesn't specify minced or chopped how would you measure that? Do you pack the basil or fill one cup up loosely?

Typically it's packed.

So "1 cup of basil" would be the full leaves packed until it's a cup?

This is why I wish recipes were by weight, not volume.

Also, 1 cup basil! That's a lot.

I was just using that for example. I could have used spinach? Lol

Another tip: throw out your microwave!


Waits for hostile reaction.
