How can I teach myself 2 cook if I cant trust myself?

Well I cant cook 2 save my life (im13) I’ve taken cooking classes at school in design tech classes but I dont trust myself at all with cookers or anything incase I started a fire or something.. I can make microwave food fine but when it comes 2 the cooker im like ‘wtf?!?!?’ lol so basically the questions up there ^^^ + how can I trust myself more when cooking?

Answer #1

You just need to be mindful of what you’re doing…pay attention.

Start off by baking - the oven is less likely to start a fire than the stovetop.

Answer #2

Start with wet-cooking methods like braising, simmering, or poaching. If the materials are covered in liquid, they can’t catch on fire, right? And braising is one of the most overlooked, under-appreciated cooking methods there is, but can produce some of the most amazing flavors out there. Best part, once the materials are in the oven to braise, you don’t have to do a thing but you still come out looking like a hero.
