CAN’T COOK WON’T cook. We all take short-cuts now and again but you better believe that they’ll be left unsaid.
1. Microwaving things that should never be microwaved
The allure of the microwave sometimes proves to be too magnetic to resist. It must be the radioactivity or something. Scrambled eggs and warming milk are probably the most offensive when it comes to foods you shouldn’t nuke, but when time is short, dry eggs will have to do.
Throw out the bowl after, it will never be clean again despite the three-day steep.
2. Not following any instructions
Stop halfway and stir? Leave to stand for two minutes? HA. We’re eating it and we are burning our tongue asap.
3. You’ve got some imaginative defrosting methods
Frozen meat? Soup? Shove it in the microwave there or throw it on the rad. Good to go in no time.
4. You never read the cooking time on frozen meals
Each time you have to reach into the bin to take it out and re-read the instructions, a little part of you (and your culinary dreams) die.
5. Cereal is your staple food
It’s perfect for every meal. It’s also slightly less difficult to prepare. Slightly.
6. Not waiting until the oven is preheated
Sure just add on an extra few minutes, BE GRAND. Bit of crunch never hurt anyone. That cheese was never meant to be a prisoner to those parcels.
7. Boiling water water in the kettle before putting on the stove
Just makes sense really, time is money people. AND you can have a cup of tea while you’re at it, win win.
8. Cooking way too much because you aren’t bothered measuring
Guestimates are always horrifically wrong and when making bolognese for two, you end up with a feast that could sustain two families for at least six months.
We need one of these, ASAP.
