>no sticky to spoonfeed me
How do I into cooking? I've just been putting frozen food in the oven my whole life. I want to start fresh and make sure I don't die of cancer. Is there a pathway for the uninitiated that one could follow? Something that takes me really easy.
Please keep in mind that I am incompetent, so "read a book and do what it says" would not work on me

Yeah I'm not gonna spend a few weeks trawling through your shitposts to make a meal
Just add onion, garlic and MSG to everything and you're 90% there

The sticky is being written and hopefully published soon.

Alright bro

then don't make a meal?
Get a pan and a pot and start cooking. It really is that simple. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7hH1jN59HY

Actually pretty good advice though
Read a recipe and do what it says
>>7706737
You are the reason why cooking classes should be mandatory in high school.

You're not incompetent, you just don't know any of the basic things that every recipe assumes people know. You into cooking by looking up "cookery basics" and learning:
a) how to cut things up
b) how to heat them until they're cooked
c) how to make them tastier

Try Google or ask a specific question if you want real answers. We'll never have a sticky.

OP i got your back. go to startcooking.com. it's the best way to start there's 100's of helpful videos with a cute plump lady

that's literally it, op. Think of something you like, find a recipe and practice until it no longer looks/taste like shit. Rinse and repeat.
Accept that you'll fuck up horribly at some point. Taste as you go along so you can see what each step of a recipe does. After a few times making a recipe, make some small adjustments to suit you tastes.
But it really all boils down to practicing.

I always had issues cooking and I've been finding that my willingness to cook for myself has increased the longer the shelf life of given foodstuffs in my stock is, given that it won't spoil so fast and that I can 'forget' to cook for myself for a bit and not end up with an assload of spoiled food in the fridge.
Buy a sack of frozen veggies, make sure there's lots of 'sweet' veggies like carrot, corn and such in it. Buy some eggs. Put about 200 grams in a pan (settings for the stove is on the bag) and fry it. When they're nice and brown, add two eggs and stir for less than a minute until you got a veggie omelette for dummies; you want the egg to still be moist and not dry as bone. Salt, pepper, boom, you cooked your own tasty and healthy first meal, and none of the ingredients will go bad on you in less than two weeks. Add a piece of chicken for protein if you're /fit/ enough.
Other great, long lasting foodstuffs are onions and garlic, which enhance practically any food by infinite amounts when added. They don't even need to be refrigerated.

is this meant as an insult?
I would have loved to have a cooking class in highschool, maybe i'd be eating something besides oats and eggs three meals a day
