I don't know how to cook can anyone advise me on the best channels and beginner information?

What meals are easy to make? What utensils I will need. And how to clean greasy pans.

Food wishes. Wait, you're literally a cookbabby? Nonstick skillet, regular skillet, saucepan, large enough to boil noodles. Spatula, oil, butter, milk. Try basic italian dishes, mac and cheese, steaks and potatoes, rice, beans, especially eggs. Eggs are the ultimate cooking tutorial. Easy to learn, hard to master.

Unironically go watch Binging with Babish, he's a huge fag but he did a ton of tutorial videos for literally braindead redditors. He answers all your questions. Good luck, dumb frogposter.

I like breakfast foods to begin to learn. Relatively easy and cheap, yet delicious. You won’t get as much practice with a knife though with breakfast, unless you make things like hashes and such.

I'm going to teach my kids to cook and if they refuse I will beat them. OP is a cautionary tale

Unironically do not do this OP. You're better off not learning to cook than watching binging with reddit.

He's reddit but it's literally what OP is asking for. It's designed for people who don't even know how to scramble eggs, or own any cooking utensils

Start with eggs. Just make increasingly difficult versions of eggs. Get to the level where you can make a nice omelet. Then italian dishes. Make a nice spaghetti sauce. An alfredo. Aglio oh glaggio, then casio speaker de pepe, then a nice alfredo.

Not at all. Only people who like to watch big utubers think hes quality. There are plenty of informative channels that dont dial up the memes and pandering and outperform in terms of kitchen prowess

The best cooking channel on YT for beginners is You Suck At Cooking.

I found https://youtu.be/5z_d0soK1cI very informative. Covers a lot of basics, though cooking stir fry like Jamie does in the first few minutes takes a lot of practice, the rest of the video showing him explaining how to do it is very good to follow.

Last is the easiest question to answer: hot water, dish soap, a stiff brush, and elbow grease. It's easier to clean them while the pans are still warm so don't put it off too long. As for your first question, for you it would probably be good to start with one-pot or one-pan recipes. Stuff where all the ingredients are done in the same piece of cookware but in different stages. For instance, dirty rice. Can be done in a 12-inch saucepan with a lid, or a medium sized pot. You will also need a knife, a cutting board, a measuring cup, a sieve, and a wooden stirring spoon.

>1lb hot pork sausage
>1 and 1/2 cups white rice
>3 and 1/2 cups chicken broth (or the same amount of water and 3 chicken bullion cubes)
>1 bell pepper of your favorite color
>1 yellow onion
>1 stalk of celery
>salt and pepper
>cajun seasoning mix (or just paprika, chili powder, garlic, and oregano)

Fry the sausage in your pan until it gets nicely browned and crisp. Use high heat and keep the meat moving every so often with your spoon. Drain as much of the fat off as you can through a sieve once it's done, throw any sausage caught in the sieve back into the pan. Cut up the bell pepper, onion, and celery into very small pieces. The Jamie video I linked should help with technique on that. Then throw them in the pan and turn the heat back on, but this time keep it low and put the lid on. Let it cook until the onions and celery turn clear, then add the chicken broth, rice, and spices. Give it a good stir, turn up the heat to medium, and let it come to a boil. Put the lid on and turn the heat to low, then let it simmer about 20 minutes. Wa la.
