Basic Cooking Skills For College Students

By Dorothy Stone


Most college students don't have much of an idea of cooking, unless they have been trained to do so. The average person will know how to make a cheese sandwich, and they will probably know how to fry an egg. When mom has been looking after you, it makes life so much easier. However, basic cooking skills are necessary when you are on your own.

Ordering pizzas and going to MacDonalds every night is never a great option. A student, especially needs a healthy diet, obtaining all their vitamins and nutrients. There are so many recipes that you can put together in 20 minutes. This includes pasta or stir fry. Sometimes, you make too much and you pull something out of the freezer. It may be a good idea to do this on purpose.

Making big rice dishes or pasta with tomato cream sauce as well as that which is in a light basil and tomato sauce take no time to cook. The best way is to decide what you are going to eat for the week. You will then do your grocery shopping, according to the budget that you have. This may take more time, but you will take advantage from it in the long run.

The average person will eat foods that are not expensive, but hopefully healthy at the same time. You don't want to cook the same things day in and day out either. Pasta is a keen favorite. It is quick and it is cheap. But having macaroni and cheese can be a little monotonous. It can be difficult at first, but you need to plan your budget and track your expenses, because this is the best way of knowing how much you are spending.

It is nice to start off simple. It is not necessary to be eating a huge amount of ingredients in one bowl. Of course, you can make this more elaborate, but it is a good idea to keep it simple initially, along with a dressing that you make as well.

Pancakes is always something that one may crave from time to time. A person will miss this in the morning. Fortunately, the batter is easy to make, and you can keep this for a couple of day. It is easy enough to experiment with this until you have the correct consistency.

Rice is something else that goes with everything. You can make a curry or a stew. You can make a rice dish if you want. The options are endless. It is not necessary to have a rice cooker to perfect this. Just make sure that all of the water is cooked out, and that you have measured it up properly. This is how your rice will stay nice and fluffy. There are all sorts of rice available.

There are some great soup recipes online. Look for new resources which are inexpensive and easy to make. Make a big pot of soup which you can have during the week. You can even take some of this with you to your classes. There is nothing better to heat you up like this during the winter months when it the cold.
