I'm not an expert but at least it still tastes good to eat. Today I was frying tempeh mixed with wheat flour but it was a little burnt because I left for a moment to look for a plate.

I am a pretty good cook. A little burnt is not a problem. The next time keep the plate ready near you before frying.

Yes, I was in a hurry so I forgot to put the plate next to the stove. Luckily i didn't fall asleep while cooking.

@LadyDuck hopefully not, if I want to sleep my eyes feel like they want to close.

@May2k8 Better NOT, I have seen YouTube videos of disaster caused by people who fell asleep while food was in the oven.

I am not an expert but cooking is one of my hobbies I am interested in it. Besides, I have my own cooking blog and I uploaded my successful recipes there and share with others.

That nice, This isn't actually my hobby, it's a necessity, and my mother has taught me several things, and I need to be able to do them. From cooking until repairing electrical equipment, I've learned from experience.

No pressure to be a pro, the important thing is you're experimenting and enjoying your food. Happy cooking!

you are right, the first time I cooked it it was very salty and now maybe now I know how to balance the taste.

Everyone has a cooking flop once in a great while, no matter what. Don't let it get you down. I was raised by several very good cooks. They instilled a love of cooking in me. Food...we have to have it, so we may as well make it taste good!!

It's likely that I have a cooking heritage, as everyone in my mother's family is a good cook without exception. Although men are more likely to be able to cook too. At first I often got splashed with hot oil, but in the end I was able to control myself to avoid the oil and cook with enthusiasm.

@MarieCoyle It depends on what I'm cooking, I also rarely use a lot of oil. As shown in the picture, it really needs oil until it is submerged.

@May2k8 I do use some oil but not much. I cook every day, but rarely fry anything anymore.

if it's almost burnt it might still be worth eating I need to sharpen my skills again so I can adapt.

There was a mistake I made today, I boiled the sweet potato but the result was that it was overcooked so it was soft like porridge.

@porwest Exactly! Without an unyielding spirit, success is impossible. We keep trying, and failing repeatedly is not an obstacle to finding new ideas.

You may not only know about the kitchen, I have seen you discuss day by day but sometimes there are no words that I can say.

@May2k8 When one has been cooking for a while, you just know how to do things, what goes well together, what different cooking methods are and so on so forth... So, you may not be an expert. But you know what works. And when you know what works, you have less failures, a much broader "idea," and more flexibility.

As long as we can make delicious food, we don't need to be experts.
