/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Focus on fundamentals and realise cooking is a skill and what you "know" doesn't mean shit if you aren't doing it frequently. Learn how to keep your equipment in good condition.
Learn to poach, bake, fry, and steam. Learn the different sizes of cuts. Learn to bake bread (super cheap and delicious).

As to saving cash. Make bigger meals and set them in the freezer in portions to reheat later. You save money buying in bulk and save time for doing other shit.

Spices that are essential IMO
>Cumin
>Coriander
>Cayenne pepper
>Basil
>Black pepper
>Paprika

With these you can make cheap food like Mexican dishes very easily and they will taste better.
