How to Raise a Poor Cook and 6 Common Experiences (Maybe Just for Me)
I discussed with my partner how I could become better at cooking.
First, they listed three negative points for me.
While cooking, a poor cook is always running out of memory.
Poor cooks are bad at multitasking.
Poor cooks lack experience.
It felt like if I took measures based on these, maybe I could succeed...
And it ended up looking something like this.
Since the sample size is just me, there is no evidence for this!
6 Common Experiences in Raising a Poor Cook
What these indicate is...
Clarify what needs to be done.
Reduce factors that cause irregularities.
Make them cook the same menu over and over, and eat it patiently even if you get tired of it.
Maybe doing things like this is the way to go!
Poor cooks can do their best when the tasks are clear.
Getting lost in a maze of recipes while cooking is terrifying.
A dish that should take 10 minutes to make might take about an hour.
When having them try a new menu, I think it's best to just specify, 'Make it using this recipe.'
If the recipe is decided, they can research it and clear up any questions in advance.
Don't ask for two dishes at once... it might be better to do one at a time.
Reduce the factors that cause irregularities while cooking
What I am bad at is multitasking, and cooking is super multitasking.
That is why I am overwhelmed while cooking.
Just like how the person in the passenger seat shouldn't interfere while someone is driving, criticism while cooking is a source of confusion
Unless it is a mistake on the level of confusing salt and sugar... it might be better to watch over them even if they are being slow.
Also, tools are important!
If your frying pan is old and ingredients stick to it, it will cause a major disaster.
Be patient even if it is the same menu over and over
If you have them make the same menu repeatedly, they will be able to do it without looking at the recipe, and they will be able to handle a certain amount of multitasking.
You can do things like driving a car or riding a bicycle, which are also multitasking, right?
If you do it enough times for your body to remember, you will be able to do it.
So, if you are patient without thinking 'This again??', your repertoire will increase.
The ideal is the same menu for about a week...
