There~s no good reason why a single man shouldn~t know his
way around the kitchen. Having every meal at a restaurant
is too costly and not healthy to boot. Every guy should be
familiar with basic cooking skills as they will help him
keep that boyish figure and save money besides. Don~t
forget that these rugged individuals can rub two sticks
together and start a fire right after they pitch the tent.
There are literally thousands of recipes out there that
should prove to be no challenge to the properly
equipped young man. Cookbooks, Internet cooking
sites, and even dear old mom can be great resources of
information and cooking tips for nearly every bachelor
out there.
Just as the Boy Scouts say, our novice cook should BE
PREPARED. This motto holds true for the kitchen as well as
other aspects of life. There are some essentials that any
self-respecting aspiring cook should have in his kitchen.
For starters he~ll need at least two cooking pots; one big
enough for stews, soups, pasta and other large dishes, and
a smaller one for sauces or heating up canned goods. Frying
pans are also essential; again a large and a small at the
minimum. Think in terms of cooking eats for the Monday
Night Football enthusiasts. Some handy utensils include
wooden and metal spoons, both slotted and solid, some
spatulas and storage containers such as Tupperware for
keeping those leftovers fresh.
If you are careful to start up with the raw essentials, you
can develop cooking skills at an impressive level (let~s
face it, why do it without being able to impress someone?
Once you decide to get started, remember to start small.
You don~t need to start with some fancy French dish is not
only difficult to pronounce but is also almost impossible
to cook. Start with the simple basics: chili or
hamburgers. Or, add a little variety to your fare, perhaps
chili burgers.
With a little time invested (and maybe a burnt hand or
two), any guy can be a whiz in the kitchen and not only
impress the ladies, but feed himself in the process.
Always remember to follow the recipe at first (there
will be plenty of time to come up with some ~off the
cuff~ concoctions when you buy your first Hibachi, in
the meantime, remember to go easy on the jalape~o
powder and have some fun in the kitchen!
