Basic Cooking Skills For College Students

By Dorothy Stone


When an individual leaves home for the first time, the biggest problem they are faced with is the fact that they don't know how to cook. There was no need to learn about this beforehand. While it is not necessary to go on a crash cooking to learn the basic cooking skills, one does have to get to grips with some of those which are more essential.

Knowing how to make things like chicken, pasta, stir fry, sauces and salad will help you as you persevere with the next couple of years ahead. It means that you won't simply have to be stuck making sandwiches and eggs. On the flip side, it means that you don't have to be ordering in pizza. As a student, it is important to weary of your budget.

The first thing to know is what should be in the refrigerator and the pantry. Even this is daunting. Most people leave this until the night before, and this is why people order pizza or go for a burger. Unfortunately, this becomes unhealthy and expensive. Eventually, it becomes like second nature.

The average person will eat foods that are not expensive, but hopefully healthy at the same time. You don't want to cook the same things day in and day out either. Pasta is a keen favorite. It is quick and it is cheap. But having macaroni and cheese can be a little monotonous. It can be difficult at first, but you need to plan your budget and track your expenses, because this is the best way of knowing how much you are spending.

It is nice to start off simple. It is not necessary to be eating a huge amount of ingredients in one bowl. Of course, you can make this more elaborate, but it is a good idea to keep it simple initially, along with a dressing that you make as well.

Pancakes is always something that one may crave from time to time. A person will miss this in the morning. Fortunately, the batter is easy to make, and you can keep this for a couple of day. It is easy enough to experiment with this until you have the correct consistency.

Learning to grill is a task which would come to good use. There is nothing better than a grilled chicken burger. This is easily made on a grill pan. You can buy a packet of stir fried vegetables and just add a little soy sauce.

There are some great soup recipes online. Look for new resources which are inexpensive and easy to make. Make a big pot of soup which you can have during the week. You can even take some of this with you to your classes. There is nothing better to heat you up like this during the winter months when it the cold.
