Basic Cooking Skills For College Students

By Dorothy Stone


Someday everyone is going to be on their own, where they won't have mom to cook for them. Going off to college can be difficult when all you know how to is to make a toasted cheese or scrambled egg. Basic cooking skills are necessary. It is something one has to take a look at before venturing out there.

Ordering pizzas and going to MacDonalds every night is never a great option. A student, especially needs a healthy diet, obtaining all their vitamins and nutrients. There are so many recipes that you can put together in 20 minutes. This includes pasta or stir fry. Sometimes, you make too much and you pull something out of the freezer. It may be a good idea to do this on purpose.

There are few things that you can concentrate on in order to fill you up, eat healthy and to stay budget wise at the same time. Many people enjoy eating the same thing with some variety the whole time. This can refer to pasta with different sauces. However, one also does have to look at the amount of carbohydrates you are taking in. Meal planning can be helpful in this regard.

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.

Rice is something else that goes with everything. You can make a curry or a stew. You can make a rice dish if you want. The options are endless. It is not necessary to have a rice cooker to perfect this. Just make sure that all of the water is cooked out, and that you have measured it up properly. This is how your rice will stay nice and fluffy. There are all sorts of rice available.

When you are feeling exhausted, try making an omelette with bacon or mushrooms. Eventually you will get the hang of this. There are so many different fillings that one can come up with. You can also put a lot of ingredients together and put this together in a pan. This can be from the night before. There is little work in this. It can also be a slow cooker. Dinner is already done, and you are ready to eat.
